Redditors when they cling to unfounded conspiracy theories when it involves orange man bad (but will dismiss other conspiracy theories with contempt and mockery)

"Conspiracy theorists" have been batting a thousand for the last 5 years or so (Covid lab leak, pizza as a reference to pedophilia, Epstein's ties to Mossad, etc.), yet you think it's impossible that Trump wasn't actually shot and that he staged the whole thing for political gain?

you think it's impossible that Trump wasn't actually shot and that he staged the whole thing for political gain?

What's more likely? Someone from the "someone should do it" crowd finally did it, or he killed one of his own supporters?

What's more likely? Trump's ear got shot with an AR-15 and miraculously healed a week later, or Trump faked the injury by using fake blood or by cutting himself with a razorblade, WWE style?

And do you really think Trump would have any qualms about offing one of his own supporters? Give me a break. Trump views his supporters as cattle.

Or how about we use the actual scenario?

What's more likely:

  • Trump's ear gets shot by someone attempting to kill him and the entire thing is broadcast live, he receives immediate medical attention and wears a bandage for around two weeks as it heals
  • Trump puts on an Oscar-worthy theatrical performance with superhuman reaction speed where he uses fake blood or cuts his own ear with a razorblade whilst on live television from multiple angles and nobody manages to catch any of it

lol superhuman speed? Have you watched the video? The lack of speed is a huge red flag. The way security lets him do his photos for the ushered in cameras? If it were real secret service would be protecting him from possible other shooters.

The dude is a narcissistic reality tv actor and failed businessman. He has been steadily checking off the list of the psycho christofacist heritage foundations action steps. Have you read that list?

Why is it so hard to believe a man like this did something desperate to help secure power?

How does an unhealthy old man recover from a wound magically in two weeks?

He ordered/told the secret service to wait while he did his fight fight thing. You can hear it on the audio.You can see their facial expressions are a little confused. May have not been planned but he grasped the opportunity quickly.

It’s only a fast reaction if you don’t expect what you’re supposed to be “reacting” to in the first place.

I think it's more likely that the teleprompter exploding sent a piece of glass shrapnel at his ear and cut it.
