I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

I think it’s just because the PA event was so obviously faked

What about it was so obviously faked tho?

Umm... Everything? How many attempts are you aware of where the secret service keeps the president elect on the stage during an active shooting? How many are you aware of where the SS ushers in photographers to take the heroic photos? How many are there where a crane lowers the flag down behind him for the aforementioned heroic photos, again while the shooter is still active?

It's the worst botch of a false flag event I'm aware of.

This is the sort of information I was looking for, thanks. Hadn’t heard about any of this stuff before. I don’t know enough to make a judgment yet but I wanted to hear where people were coming from

Edit: wait this video is from a previous assassination attempt, I’m talking about the most recent one at the WH correspondence dinner

Their point is that the dinner attempt is just another poorly executed staged attempt for publicity and sympathy from a wannabe dictator that's losing support extremely quickly.

He started a war with Iran to distract from the Epstein files. That is so clearly obvious that even MAGA informed have been turning against him.

This reeks of a blatant attempt to artificially increase support like many two bit dictators have done on the past. It worked last time.

not only that but the IRAN war is dragging on so long and badly for the US forces in the ME region too, already got soldiers killed early on,.
