Claims circulate that latest assassination attempt was staged

newsApr 27, 2026773,164

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.

People claiming that the “assassination attempt” in Butler was staged are suggesting something far more sinister than fraudulent political shenanigans. A real person was foreseeably killed by a real bullet. That means anyone involved in a staging would be liable for manslaughter.

A Narcissist would not have an issue with murder.

Ahhhh…yeah! They have RFKJr undermining public health, they killed health insurance for millions, they shoot people in the back & face, they’re murdering on the high seas, starting illegal wars, committing war crimes, slaughtering millions in Africa by pulling aid. Yeah - they’re mass murderers.

Melinda here 4 the defeat of evil 🛑 this shit 💙🤬33

They didn’t flinch about lying when 2 bombs were dropped on over a hundred little girls in school. They lied and said someone else did it . Then the truth came out. We 🇺🇸 did it . So I really don’t think 🤔 it’s a stretch to imagine them lying and doing something like that.

A SS Man Was shot in the chest thankfully he was wearing his vest. Did they say who shot him. And did they prove that the man killed in Butler was indeed shot by the attempted assassin.. The prob is we can't trust anything out of this White House, not even during war, And that's very disturbing.

Manslaughter? Wouldn't it be premeditated murder?

They've opened numerous concentraion camps where people have died. They've killed people in the streets They've deported people receiving cancer treatments Is it beyond imagination that they would sacrifice one of their supporters?

Slartibartfastagrajag16

I'm sure evander holyfield would love to know how Trump regrew his ear perfectly 😡

Emmogene 🇨🇦 🇺🇸16

Has Trump ever done anything that doesn't show depraved indifference to human life? He shows us who he is all of the time: Murder of protesters in the streets. Windows smashed, and people pulled out of cars. Families separated. People in fishing boats and innocent school children killed.

Me Look Listen15

Yes. They are liable for manslaughter. They care nothing about collateral damage.

AnnieOakleyinGA14

I just don’t put anything past those sickos. Those people are desperate to stay in power. Either attempt could have been staged. We won’t find out if they were in our lifetimes but yeah I think it’s entirely possible.

zebnorris.bsky.social12

The flag moving is so weird. For sure a bullet did not touch his ear. Maybe a shard of teleprompter.

Christian Petersen10

I believe absolutely nothing they tell me.

MadGreek 🧿9

This last one looked even more staged than Butler. And no one got killed. And no ketchup on the ear.

CLE8

The Trump regime don’t value human life. Precisely why they are unfit to govern over the people of the USA.

David Stone8

It's not a stretch to imagine they would go to such ends. Trump is just a frontman (as will be Vance) for a cabal controlling enormous wealth across several continents. A few deaths wouldn't raise an eyebrow if it were required to maintain or advance their control.

MayhemMel!8

Isn't Trump having innocent fishermen killed for political points, his ex Ivana mysteriously dies before she was going to expose secrets about him. Good and Prettis killed for his ICE gestapo. So 8f you think two people murdered in Butler, PA for political gains is beyond him you'd be very naive.

Enough8

I do believe that anyone capable of raping children would have no problem murdering bystanders. Just saying.

Tarrgon7

We murder innocent people in boats in international water and drop bombs on school girls. Do you really think they wouldn't use civilians for effect?

Reinventing_again™6

How about pre-meditated, 1st degree murder?

degenerate eric (he/him)6

Did they care how many innocent people might be killed on Jan6?

Murph #FuckTrump6

“Would be liable for manslaughter” if they actually investigated it…

elinissley.bsky.social5

Drunk Pete would call that ( pause to sip clear alcoholic beverage) “ collateral damage in a lethal kinetic strike”. The very last thing this administration cares about is the lives of its citizens. Or anyone’s.

TellUsWhy5

That kid was tricked into doing what he did based on false promises made to him by whoever was behind this. He was expendable and they had no intention of letting him survive. They played on his fears and stoked his rage then they fired him up and turned him loose knowing he wasn't going to survive.

Uncle Spike4

Remember when Trump said he could shoot anyone on Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose any voters? Yeah. He wasn't joking. He doesn't care. Just hoping people start seeing him for the boy who cried wolf that he is. What a farce.

SFB4

These are people who hunt down and shoot people in fishing boats. Manslaughter is the least of their worries.

Belinda Ballard4

A man was hit by a bullet & killed at Trump’s fake ear assassination. It was immediately buried & his name was never mentioned again. Of course, anyone associated with the latest shooting does not give a damn about who might get hurt.

AnnieOPopoAgie 💙💙💙4

Yes, they would be. Guess that’s why it wasn’t investigated.

bryansbreeze.bsky.social3

And is murdering people a problem for the MAGAs? I’ve seen no signs of that. So far they’ve killed approximately 200 people riding in boats in the Caribbean. Trump would not have won the election, but for the staged assassination attempt in Butler PA.

tree03.bsky.social3

Do you honestly believe this administration wouldn’t stoop to that? Have you not witnessed the unrelenting cruelty they openly commit?

Paislie Giraffe Arts3

Uh huh. Tell Renee Good. Tell Alex Pretti.

mgm1833.bsky.social3

To be honest, they wouldn’t care. They’d call it collateral damage.

Weshlovrcm3

If it were staged as many believe, manslaughter would be just another crime the MAGAts get away with.

AzBearin3

The rethugs told us a long time ago they don’t give a shit when it comes to anyone lives. Ex. Sandy Hook and the countless ones since then. Do I believe they could have this far in Butler? You bet I do.

vagrant-dead.bsky.social3

It's the tRumps, so what's your point? He literally fakes everything he does

tollerlover05.bsky.social3

Right up there with all the young ladies who went missing from the EFs.

Ghost of Lepa Radić3

Yes. This tracks. This is a man who has ordered "drug boats" destroyed with no evidence, who blew up a girl's school. I absolutely believe he and his handlers would kill a cult member or two for the cause.

Constantine Furman3

Yeah. I know. But ears don't grow back.

bossybootsy.bsky.social2

He raped little girls and told them he would kill their family if they said anything and you think he gives a rat's ass about killing anyone in his MAGA crowd?

GummyRobot2

Look at Donald. Look at his history. He bussed people out to a remote locale for a campaign rally, and left them in the FREEZING COLD to find their own way back. People mean NOTHING to him. They are EXPENDABLE! Why would he care if they die? He staged the whole thing. Death helped sell the con.

HeavenlyBlue2

They are probably willing to nuke the planet to avoid accountability over the Epstein Files. Do you think they care about shooting a fireman?

marerocks.bsky.social2

Has anybody investigated whether the fellow who was shot is actually a real person?

Miles Raymond2

How many people did Trump dispose of in his business years? I'd say dozens so sacrificing one would mean nothing to him

Just Army (Fuck ICE) Rob2

Yeah they need to be investigated and prosecuted anyone who was there that day as part of law enforcement or President Pedophile’s staff.

darnold205.bsky.social2

They got away with it in Butler.

JustAnotherBunny2

Do you really think they care about that? They’re killing thousands with their policies…

horsnhound.bsky.social2

Yes, we are aware of this. That is why we are so disgusted.

CuznSue2

2 people the kid who they set up and the innocent fireman in attendance. We need to get to the bottom of it when the tables are turned.

Rocketman2

Trump is a sociopath. He doesn't care who dies. If you think it is not possible for Trump to pay people to commit crimes, you are not paying attention to his entire life of crime.

XPilot2

trump could care less if anyone dies while he’s grandstanding and the supremely inept court said he can’t be held libel for his actions in office.

Annabella1052

You say that like that would be a disqualifying event for trump and his administration. For them, that death was collateral damage and they don't care

Rudy 🇨🇦2

Have you not been paying attention? Life is cheap and collateral damage for the Epstein class. bsky.app/profile/jdwe...

creativerealms.bsky.social2

What sucks is I wouldn't put it past Trump to have one of his supporters killed for a stunt that makes him look good.

Dark Days Are Here2

The regime wants money for war and a ballroom but there is no money they would pay on us. Of course none of them would bat an eyelash if anyone, who wasn’t themselves, was used as a pawn to die. 🤷‍♂️

geoffrystreet.bsky.social2

Yes. They have video of the shooter climbing onto the building. They knew he was there. They didn't nullify the threat until an innocent person was killed. I guarantee the shooter's family was paid. The victim's family was paid. Hell they may have all signed on for it. The CULT is real!

I'm gonna take this right foot2

Yes. I'm guessing the kid never fired his gun and both he and the fireman were shot by 1 or 2 government employees. Shitstain was never in danger. That blood squib made a weird splatter on the cheek. Ear grew back, etc.

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."

NEW: After shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday, Karoline Leavitt blamed assassination attempts against Trump on Democrats, the media and political commentators. “The left-wing cult of hatred...has gotten multiple people killed,” the press secretary said.

I'm just gonna leave this here for anyone who'd like to go remind KKKarolyin Leavitt where the problem actually lives.

I don't recall Democrats threatening to extinguish an entire civilization.

We want trump-pedo to be safe!!! We also want him in prison!! Prison works for both!!!

Melissa Hortman would like a word. Oh wait, she and her husband were murdered by a Trump supporter.

Tennis Love Politics9

These people are beyond dangerous. Wtf

LJ6

Think of all the time that is saved each time we run this same script. As always, Republicans are allowed to say anything they want, and every word a Democrat utters is heavily scrutinized and questioned. Dems must always be the adults in the room at all times.

emperorpupprtine.bsky.social6

I mean we aren’t the ones who bombed a school and killed over a hundred kids but I guess that doesn’t count

darlamae.bsky.social5

I swear, Karoline Leavitt must be tRumps daughter. She is as vile as him.

mh424.bsky.social5

The Hortmans, Rene Good, Alex Pretti, almost Paul Pelosi… oh wait.

nuckles13.bsky.social4

But, hey! All you naughty people calling this assassination attempt "fake" need to turn down the political rhetoric! 😆

She needs to leave and never return. She is such a disgrace.

She is the queen of the cult of hatred

And the right wing hatred and divisiveness has resulted in murders too.

Has she heard what the convict says?

She read her lines perfectly. Barbie Butch

Magnus G. Singleton2

I wished that I believed in Hell… Leavitt is almost making Huckabee look like….someone who’s honest??? Honesty, as somehow related to government, in any capacity, is an oxymoron. But Levitt is beyond the textbook pathological liar.

Left Derangement Syndrome LDS or when they are on drugs LSD. 😁😁

Sarcastic Beeotch2

When it happens to democrats it’s funny though. Don’t forget how they treated Paul Pelosi.

peony2025.bsky.social2

😡 Not one other time has there been a gunman who came into this event shooting…. the person wasn’t shooting at Dems; the hatred was aimed at POTUS and his cronies! This was the 3rd attempt and they still haven’t learned just how many people are feeling the pain of his actions & extent of their hate.
