Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracies

The BBQ Pit
1

I hear there are several conspiracy theories surrounding the attempt on Trump’s life, regarding how the shooter got so close, and the Secret Service. One was that the agent who shot was fired for not getting permission. Others I’m sure about SS complicity and Dem involvement.

So I’m wondering about creating a counter CT.

My idea is that the assassination attrmpt was actually a set up by Trump’s team to create a spectacle that they could blame on Dems, and create exactly the kind of hero worship we’ve seen from the MAGAS.

You see, the shooter was a gun enthusiast from a Republican family. Being a setup explains why nobody confronted him prior to the shooting. The counter sniper shooting him suggests he was a patsy, but maybe he was such a Trump loyalist that he was willing to die for him.

“But what about the nick to Trump’s ear?” you cry. Simple. Trump very easily could have nicked his own ear when cowering under the podium. Flinch, grab your ear, drop down, then a quick nick. Now he’s primed for that suberb image of a defiant Trump swarmed by SS agents, blood on his face and with his clenched first raised. He’s able to be so defiant, knowing he’s not in danger.

Sure, one crowd member was killed and a couple more injured, and even more could have been. But Trump doesn’t have empathy. Since when does he care about his supporter’s lives? How many of them died by covid because of Trump’s policies, and his active discouragement of masking?

Yeah, I know, Trump nick his own ear and fuck up his appearance, and have to wear that ear bandage at the convention seems unlikely, but so does Trump fighting his SS to be visible and having to be dragged off stage, not cowering behind agents and hurrying for cover.

Think about it, it makes a much sense as any other CT.

That’s where your theory falls apart - there is ZERO chance of Trump intentionally causing himself to bleed. He’s a massive germaphobe and he hates the sight of blood.

We so don’t need this.

First of all, no independent medical doctor has examined Trump and issued a report, which is in itself suspicious. After the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan in 1981, Dr. Dennis S. O’Leary at George Washington University Hospital gave a full press conference regarding the incident. That’s standard, normal, and wholly different than what happened here. One physician turned politician has written a letter for Trump, but that’s it. Why? What is Trump and his team afraid of? What are they trying to paper over? Given the dramatic difference between Trump and every other public official in a similar circumstance only the fully tanked or very naive wouldn’t ask why.

There are all manner of devices that can create a controlled incision across a flat plane. There are rather fewer cases of bullets passing across an ear without ripping it up a lot more. This is 300% a media coverup. If you believe the official story, I have a grassy knoll to sell you.

::Cue the amateur ballistic analysis::

Analogous argument, minus the crazy.

The dude was actually successful in his assassination attempt-we were just wrong as to who his target was.

I’m not sure if the OP means this thread to be for genuine conspiracy theories, or is meant to be satire poking fun of conspiracy theorists.

But in the offhand chance he’s serious:

  • How did Trump nick his ear? Holding some hidden razor in his hand or on his clothing? There wasn’t time for that. The video doesn’t show him making any sort of motion that would involve grabbing some hidden sharp object with which to nick.

  • You can’t nick yourself and get away with it in one of the most-watched and most-analyzed videos of the year. The millions of people who watched the video would have noticed something awry.

  • A Trump loyalist is so loyal that he’s willing to die for Trump, yet also willing to donate money to a progressive-left organization? (That’s what Crooks did.)

Ric Flair himself couldn’t have pulled off a blade job that seamless.

I’m just waiting for Alex Jones to insist that Donald Trump was a crisis actor.

Trump swats his ear, ducks behind lectern, presses device to ear - boom problem solved. Nobody would ask questions given the crowd behind him - a classic instance of misdirection. Look at the pictures: there’s clear evidence of the ear wound pressing towards the head: bullets don’t do that when they miss their target given their shear force. You can trust me: I have advanced degrees in public polling, virology, and just today forensic science and ballistics from the University of Twitternet.

A Trump loyalist is so loyal that he’s willing to die for Trump, yet also willing to donate money to a progressive-left organization? (That’s what Crooks did.)

It was an obvious set up.

How long ago was the donation and for how much?

11

It was a right wing conspiracy. And it wasn’t supposed to be an attempted assassination. Crooks was supposed to kill Trump.

The shadowy figures who run the Republican party see Trump as a liability. He’s got too much negative baggage and he doesn’t follow orders. But a significant portion of the Republican base loves him. If they just dumped Trump, he would be willing to trash the party and tell his followers to stay home on Election Day.

But Trump works great as a martyr. The leaders can throw in some new candidate who understands how things work and will do what he’s told. That new candidate can deliver a stirring eulogy for the lost Trump. The magas would eat it up and flock to the new guy. The Democrats would be unable to defeat somebody who could ride on Trump’s coattails without carrying all of Trump’s baggage.

Think about it. Why would the Republicans have made so much of an issue of old age if they were actually planning on having a seventy-eight year old candidate?

12

If so, and Crooks were willing to do so (how many 20 year olds are willing to do this?) you’d think they should have thought enough of the plan to create a better image for Crooks. Namely, he should have started talking a lot about Antifa on social media, starting wearing Biden-Harris T-shirts, put up “Trump is a threat to democracy” posters in his bedroom, etc.

13

Very few. But there are always a handful of crazy loners out there, waiting for a spark. And they only needed one. I’m sure a powerful cabal could locate a mentally disturbed person, wind them up, and point them in the right direction.

And if the leaders of the Republican party started looking for a potential assassin, it’s more likely they’d find a Republican one. That’s where their connections are.

As for his image, there’s plenty of time to spin his image into a direction they want it to be.

14

Let’s back it up a hair: are we even sure that was trump on stage? Maybe his body double was getting too handsy with Ivanka and it was time for him to go.

15

I think there was a fake blood capsule hidden in his shoes. So he ducks when he hears the shots, gets the squib out, squirts on ear, puts squib back in shoes. This explains why he was so worried about his shoes.

Shiiit, I had this figured out on the first day.

16

The head of the Secret Service just resigned in disgrace; from that, we can deduce that someone in the Secret Service screwed up; from there, add in that Crooks was a registered Republican who promptly got killed by the Secret Service once bullets started flying. The conclusion is as obvious as it is inescapable: Crooks was a loyal Trump supporter who gunned down a would-be assassin — doing the Secret Service’s job better than they did, and then getting killed by them in their second failure of the day.

17

If we want to stick with actual conspiracy theories rather than ones we’re making up here, I’ve seen a video which says Trump was not actually shot. It points out that Crooks was shooting at the stage and when the bullets struck the staging, they caused splinters to fly around and strike people. Several of the people who were around Trump received minor wounds from this, which caused bleeding. Trump’s wound was the same as theirs. So Trump’s ear was most likely hit by a splinter not a bullet.

18

His whole detail should be canned for allowing the fist pump thing. As much as I want him to die, I’d rather he not be assassinated.

19

Thats what confused me, the bravery fist pump and saying, “Fight!”
This is not a normal reaction to being shot at.

I agree that’s a flaw. Maybe the SS did it when they jumped on top of him. Or maybe he’s lying about being a germophobe. I mean, he is a conman, swindler, and cheat. He is a habitual liar. He could be lying about that, too.

I’m fascinated by the CT mindset. I’m amused by a satirical counter-narrative CT story. Any debunking efforts will help with fleshing out the theory.

Excellent points, especially the part about age.

Now that’s just great news, CT or not.
