The Left Has Been Trying to Come Up With Wild Conspiracy Theories About the Trump Shooting, but They Are Failing Badly

(End of the American Dream)—Ever since the moment that Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the left has been pushing wild conspiracy theories all over the Internet.  Unfortunately for the left, their conspiracy theories are so ridiculous that most rational people immediately see right through them.  Yes, there are legitimate questions that need to be asked about what really happened at that rally, and I have been writing about many of those questions.  But to suggest that the assassination attempt was staged or that Trump was never hit by a bullet is just nuts.

As you will see below, the stuff that the left has been coming up with is straight out of crazy town.

It has been less than a week since Trump was shot, and already “false assassination narratives” have been viewed more than 100 million times on X, and many of those false narratives are being classified as “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories…

So-called ‘BlueAnon’ conspiracy theories — levelled by Left-­wingers — have clearly been thick on the ground this time, compounding the confusion spread by similarly paranoid or just ­trouble-making Trumpites.­

According to research group Institute for Strategic Dialogue, references to false assassination narratives amassed more than 100 million views on X in just 24 hours.

So what are some of the most common “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories that the left has been pushing?

Well, one of the most popular theories is that the shooting was staged, and an Associated Press photo that was digitally altered is being offered as “proof” of that theory.  The following comes from CNN…

To bolster the “staged” conspiracy theory, an image began to circulate that had been altered to make it look like one of the Secret Service agents who rushed to Trump’s aid was smiling during the incident. An influential anti-Trump X user who has almost 250,000 followers on the platform shared the image with the message, “Everyone here seems to be having a good time, laughing and smiling for the cameras.”

The image was soon debunked by the fact-checking organization Lead Stories, which said it was a digitally manipulated version of an Associated Press image.

“The officers cannot be seen smiling with their teeth as seen in the original, nor in any other news outlets photos of the event,” Lead Stories explained in a blog post.

CNN has often been fooled in the past, but even they were able to see right through this one.
