A historical moment with the potential to murder a U.S. leader is bound to spawn conspiracy theories.
According to Megan Squire, assistant director for data analysis at the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, “incidents of political violence reproduce conspiracy theories and false stories when individuals try to rewrite the occasion to fit their several agendas.” This event is no unique, with theories being made using “false flag” theories and perhaps placing blame on innocent individuals for either committing this crime or inspiring it.

No, Joe Biden did not order a beat on Donald Trump. That’s funny. But those who inspired this crime are hardly “innocent” — not by a longer shot. It’s impossible to say that ten years of overheated, exaggerated language naming Trump as a” danger to politics” or a “wannabe tyrant” has n’t “inspired’ some persons to” guard” America and themselves by trying to kill the former president.
However, the “false flag” conspiracy theories that Trump or his campaign orchestrated the assassination attempt were intended to 1 ) stoke sympathy for the former president and 2 ) give Trump another avenue of attack. The Democrats are already gaining steam and will continue to be refined and added as necessary.
To me, this seems like a false flag.
Why?
Shots fired. Trump’s head is being protected by the Secret Service so he can get the photo op, but why?
Like there’s 6 agents and NO ONE is protecting Trump’s head?
They move slow af.
There’s no way this is real.

Consider this: If you ca n’t tell the difference between this video and what just happened today, consider this: Who simply stands there and raises their hands in response to a murder attempt?

This appears to be very fishy and possibly staged, in my opinion.
Authoritarians are known for putting on false flags, planting goons to “attack” etc.
After all, Trump just had another Victor Orban performance at Mar a Lago.

The old” capsule of fake blood behind the ear” trick.
Trump’s claims that he shot at his rally are false. Democrats and Biden are to blame, but this is a false flag. Take note of how Trump snuck his ear in the video. He placed a fake blood capsule in his ear to simulate a hit. Then he slammed his fist against the wall. BS! pic. twitter.com/fkpFYIHeXw— Jen Bellona 🌊 � � � � � � � � ( @hoofnmane ) July 13, 2024
There’s plenty more where that came from.
C-Tech:
Two issues relating to the assassination attempt that were popular on X in the hours following the incident were devoted to conspiracy theories: #staged and #falseflag. At the center of both is the claim ( without evidence ) that the event was staged”. Pay attention to the lack of urgency and the crowd’s reaction, “wrote one uesr. Another user wrote:” If someone shot me in the head, I would n’t stop for a campaign photo.”
Another user added:” Crisis actors should be paid better. They’ve never looked so unconcerned. ” One user offered a pseudo-physical analysis of the shooting:” How come a bullet supposedly grazes Trump’s ear but everyone behind him is fine? “he wrote”. And he touches his hand, but there is no blood on his?
The topics ‘ posts have received between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of views each. They are all still accessible on X at the time of writing this news. None of them provides a thorough analysis of the conspiracy; instead, they are succinct critiques of the event’s apparent unreliability. However, being included in the list of Hot Topics makes them more popular and serves as the foundation for a new, broad conspiracy theory that will shape American politics significantly in the coming months.

Some of these conspiracy theories will never be debunked to many people’s satisfaction. That’s what makes them so toxic and a visible sore on the body political. Believers in conspiracies no longer believe in America and its government. They lack the ability to distinguish fact from fiction. They are unable to distinguish between reality and their own partisan-fed fantasies.
Like this guy.
By staging one of the most glaring False Flags that has ever been created, I believe Donald Trump is gauging how stupid the American Right really is.
