Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracy Theories

[The Great Zaganza]

I think we can all agree that it was a Time Traveler.

 

[bruto]

Whatever he was, according to AP News he has now been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, not the person Ranb's site claims.

I've seen claims to the effect that he was a Registered Republican. Which would be odd, to say the least.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

I don't understand what people are upset about:

Clearly, Biden only did what the Supreme Court said was part of his Core Presidential Powers : order a hit on his political rival.
NOT doing so would have been against the Constitution!

Here's something from a more public forum than here: Trump got hit by a round from an assault rifle. Those rounds are notorious for chewing up flesh. But first pics of Trump's ear show no obvious impact damage whatever. It would be expected he would at least have some chunks taken out if he was genuinely hit. But the pics show just a normal apparently undamaged ear with a few drops of blood running from the tip. So was he REALLY shot? If not, where did the blood come from?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if Biden ordered it, the job wouldn't have gone to a 20 year-old kid who couldn't get a head shot at "a few hundred feet".

I'm curious about the crazy talk about his shoes. My guess is, since he had those 3-inch (or whatever) lifts, when he went down he popped out of them. He wasn't going to be seen leaving the stage three inches shorter than when he got up there.

He was lucky not to be leaving twelve inches shorter than when he got up there.

I'm guessing it just grazed him. He is a very lucky man.

New York Post

ETA: And since this is Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories:
Thomas Matthew Crooks was upset by all the bad jokes his friends made about his family name after Trump's recent conviction.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

My theory is that Alex Baldwin was filming in the audience.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

The perp being a Republican gives me hope it'll be a disgruntled Dump supporter. Like when July 22nd turned out to be a Norwegian fascist and not an islamist. That might douse some of the anger towards the left, although of course some will call it fake news or blame Biden and the media anyway.

If it's any help, I read on Twitter that Trump wasn't hit by a bullet, but by a shard of glass from an autocue that was right next to him and was shattered by the bullet.

Interesting. I assume that's another word for a teleprompter. Is any of this visible in the video? Trump's kind of famous for ad-libbing, for better or worse, more than reading from a teleprompter.

This article has a photo that appears to show the bullet passing his head at ear height. It's circled.

Proof that he is the anointed one or he sold his soul to the devil.

 

[Dr.Sid]

Hm .. the reaction of the security detail was OK. But how did the shooter got there ? Quite visible ? There's also this MAGA hat guy who said he saw him and warned security, but they did nothing.
Well of course they didn't. He was supposed to be there ! Makes sense !

Dunno really. I don't think the bullet in the photo touched him. I don't think there's any photographic evidence of the autocue shattering, but people were saying that if a bullet from that sort of gun had even grazed his ear, the ear would be pulp.

 

[Dr.Sid]

Well .. he was also wearing MAGA hat. He only removed it after he ducked down. The bullet could graze the cap which could cut his ear. It's not really that important.
Could it be faked ? Yes. But USSS would have to be on it.

Link?
If it's the guy from this MeidasTouch video, it isn't quite clear what he did, or how it was interpreted:

0:58: I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, 2 3 minutes. Secret Service is
looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.

Did security see him? Did they just see a man pointing at something? Did they know that he was trying to send a signal to them? Or did they think he was trying to communicate with friends?

I wouldn't put much stock in the speculations of people on Twitter. I rewatched the video and didn't see any sort of autocue anywhere near him, so this seems like a contrived speculation to me.

Now there may have been more than one bullet, so it's certainly possible that that one isn't actually the one that hit him.

How much luck can one single person have, over and over and over...?
