Claims circulate that latest assassination attempt was staged

newsApr 27, 202646320

A conspiracy theory claims the assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump at a Hilton hotel was staged. The theory points to the timing with cancelled Iran peace talks, the presence of high-profile guests, and coordinated messaging using hashtags like #FakeAssassination and #ColeThomasAllen to argue the event was a political stunt. Critics say the claim spreads misinformation that could undermine official investigations, distract from real security failures, and influence voter perceptions ahead of the midterm elections.

There is a vast gap between "something happened, and there is a state-coordinated social media cabal that responds" and "the state is organizing fake assassination attempts."

It feels like at the current moment, you can generate more likes here by saying "false flag" than expressing a normie "political violence is bad" view. Which seems deeply unhealthy.

I also dont understand the goal here. Like what are they accomplishing, for the trouble of staging this? They stage an assassination attempt so people can push for his ballroom? Be serious

It's disappointing to see so many left jump on the conspiracy bandwagon, especially when the facts are so apparent. After all, why would anyone stage something that's bound to happen? Staging this makes about as much sense as using a space laser to start a forest fire.

Haven't seen one commentary that even comes close to suggesting this was anything other than a dumb4rse attempt at deflection.....which spectacularly failed.... #FakeAssassination #ColeThomasAllen #OperationEpicDiversion #EpsteinFiles

Fake "assassination" followed by a mass coordination of right wing influencers all sending the EXACT message at the EXACT same time. This fucking con needs to END. YESTERDAY. #ImpeachConvictRemove

Nope. Keep going. We don’t need a ballroom just because a dude with a few guns got no where near dementia Donny.

Starmer went for broke, staged a fake assassination for popularity but ended up dropping a grand piano on his own head. Keys are in his teeth now and he can only make sad accordion sounds.

If you want to fake an assassination attempt you have to ensure the security is lax enough that the fake shooter can get in. The fact that this guy survived is the only thing that might make me believe that the attempt was genuine.

What a surprise. Urgently needed ballroom. Hang in there, Trump. Once you have 10 fake assassination attempts, you get a free sandwich at Subway.

Epstein Files not going away? Iran war going badly? Approval ratings in the tank? Just create world entertainment by staging a fake assassination! Remarks were clearly prepared for planned presser 30min after shooting. And of course nothing in the story adds up. #fakeassassination

Can we just skip past the fake assassination attempt. Just like people can skip past the fact that the President of the United States is named 1000's of times in the Epstein files. Quite a thought ayyyyyyyy !!!!
