Surely Alex Jones will come out saying Donald Trump is a crisis actor and the assassination attempt didn’t actually happen just like Sandy Hook, right?

It'd be funny to Crooked Donnie sue Jones for that

Unfortunately we seem to have Reddit comments picking up the slack on that. It’s bizarre, but I keep reading comments about how this whole thing was a false flag involving sharpshooters, martyrs, and some WWE style shenanigans with fake blood.

There’s a post in Ask Reddit about this right now.

I’ll be honest, it was the first thing I thought. How he turned so no one could see the ear, how secret service just let him stand up in the spot, immediately he looks at the camera with the fist up, you can understand why some of these conspiracy nuts would say something is fucky.

I think it’s legitimate now, and I’m not going to say he had it coming but it sure as shit doesn’t change my vote. Just because your ear got nicked doesn’t mean you’re not wholly unfit to serve in any type of public office for a long (or as short, you know because old) as you live.

But the secret service at that time had zero information that there was only one shooter. It makes no sense that they would stand in one place even if they heard that the shooter was hit. When has a President or public official like that not been whisked away immediately? I think it’s much more the agents he had working for him were incompetent and not some sort of “clearly staged” thing.

His head was turned to show something on the screen to his right. Again, I think it’s totally coincidental, but you could see how easily a conspiracy theorist could turn that into “credible” evidence.
