Steve Witkoff said the Russian leader had an artist paint a portrait of Trump and gave it to the American president as a gift. Witkoff called Putin “super smart” and not “a bad guy.”

    Faked assassination attempt.
    If it were real, he’d still be talking about it.

    Need proof?
    Without searching, what’s the shooter’s name…?

      Matthew Crooks.

      People in the crowd died. There’s pictures of Crooks’s head split open from rifle fire. It wasn’t fake. Just because it was very, very convenient for Trump doesn’t mean it was fake.

        My bad: Should have said “Staged”, not fake.
        Crooks is conveniently dead. Trump’s ear healed in days (literally impossible), Secret Service held him up for display, etc.

          This is just dumb conspiracy theory shit.

          Bullet trajectory showed Trump would be dead if he didn’t turn his head last minute. That slight turn allowed the bullet only to glance his ear. That same bullet then hit some in the crowd behind him. He then fliched a bit, and the other shots that were still aimed at the initial first spot all missed and hit the crowd behind him.

          There is such a slim chance that was all planned. Trump was directly in line of fire and could have easily been killed if this was just a stunt. They’d never risk that.

          Don’t spread shit rumors in a time when there is plenty of real shit in front of your eyes to be angry about.

              Or it’s proof that there is a god and he’s a massive piece of shit that gives the worst people the best luck. Seems to be the trend among the worst of us. :/

              Yup. Trump learned blading from wrestling. Crooks aimed and shot at the audience, gets killed as well. Trump cuts his own ear.

            trump’s SS recruited Crooks to “help out” with their security detail, then when trump gave the cue for everyone to look to the right, trump’s SS simultaneously murdered Crooks while another SS on the watertower behind Crooks shot into the crowd, killing Comperatore. Nobody fired at trump. This is unequivocally what really happened.

                One of the weirdest thing about the last 20 years or so has been how unfounded conspiracy theories and wild-ass guesses and feels get stated as fac, and people stop realizing there’s a difference. Which lead to really sloppy thinking (including Trump’s rise)

                  What about my narrative concerning what really happened at Butler PA sounds like a “wild-ass guess” to you? Nothing “unfounded” about what really happened at Butler PA. trump’s SS staged a fake assassination and murdered Crooks and Comperatore.

                    There is no proof of what you say. Therefore it is unfounded.

                    You can make your own false assumptions, but spreading conspiracy theories like this is dangerous.

                Okay. Why do you not believe the narrative I’ve shared, and what do you believe happened instead? (And third, why do you believe you know better than myself?)

                  I believe in facts, not assumed narratives.

                  I shared above how things played out.

                  Until any facts come out about SS or other groups plots to conspire to fake an attempt on Trump, I will believe that this person acted by themselves and actually tried to kill Trump for their own reasons. And failed, killing others on accident, and getting himself killed in the process.

                  Crazy to assume otherwise.

                    Nope. Your “contrived story” fails to explain why a lifelong trumpee with trumpee yard signs would have any motive to kill dotard.

      There is zero percent chance trump has the balls to stand and let someone shoot live ammo in his direction. People around him died.

      I can’t think of Reagan’s shooter’s name, either. That isn’t proof it was staged.

      Love that straight up QAnon level shit is getting the majority of upvotes here. Good sign, the future is bright
