(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.
Another theory that is floating around is that a BB gun was used to shoot at Trump…
“Donald Trump continues to play in our faces!! This was SO staged!!! If someone REALLY wanted to take him out, they wouldn’t use a BB Gun!!” one person posted on X a little more than an hour after the shooting.
Seriously? Where does the left come up with this stuff?
Others are suggesting that Trump was never hit at all. In fact, some on the left are actually claiming that Trump used “a gel pack containing fake blood” to spread blood on his ear and face…
According to some fanciful social media interpretations of photos of the moment when shots were fired, Trump was holding a yellow object in the hand he used to touch his bloody ear.
They have even claimed it was a gel pack containing fake blood — routinely used in films and TV — that Trump burst the moment he grabbed his ear.
If this was true, where did the damage to Trump’s ear come from that we could clearly see in the footage after he was hit? Of course there are some on the left that believe that Trump’s ear was not even damaged.

A photo from a rally that was conducted on September 17th, 2022 is being used to “prove” that Trump’s right ear is perfectly fine…
CLAIM: A photo taken on Monday shows former President Donald Trump with no damage to his right ear, contrary to reports that it was injured in an attempted assassination on Saturday.
THE FACTS: The photo was taken on Sept. 17, 2022, at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, for then-U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance. Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention Monday night with a large, white bandage on his right ear. Myriad photos show his ear bloodied after a shooter opened fire at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend.
It is hard to believe that there are people out there that actually fall for this stuff.
As crazy as this may sound, right now there are people on social media that are discussing the “fact” that the entire incident was orchestrated by Trump, his team and the Secret Service in order to stage the iconic photographs which we have all seen by now…
Almost immediately after Trump was injured during a shooting at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally Saturday evening, a conspiracy theory emerged that the assassination attempt had been “staged” – that Trump and his campaign had set it up to orchestrate the iconic photos of a resolute Trump surviving an attempt on his life. The term “staged” began trending on X as soon as an hour after the shooting.
The mainstream media is not stupid enough to fall for such nonsense, but there is a push to get news outlets to stop using those photographs because they are helping Trump so much…
An editor at a major news outlet wants the press to stop using the iconic photo of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump because it represents ‘free PR’ for his campaign.
The unnamed editor told Axios that sharing the historic photo of the former president standing after he survived the attempt on his life is ‘dangerous despite how good it is.’
After everything that has happened, they are still out to get Trump.
The rest of this campaign season is going to be so intense, and if Trump actually wins there will be even more chaos.
Our country is about to go over the edge, and one of the big reasons for this is because people are so easily fooled.
The crazy conspiracy theories that I just discussed above are completely and utterly absurd, but many on the left really want to believe that they are true.
Conservative content creator James Klug recently interviewed random folks in the street, and he quickly encountered someone that truly thinks that the Trump shooting was staged…
James Klug: What is our evidence for suggesting that it was a staged, a fake assassination attempt?
Old Dem: I think that he walked away alive with perhaps a scratch on his ear at most… Of course, behind the scenes, that was fabricated… some noise. They put a little scratch on his ear, threw a little blood on his face.
James Klug: Now, so you think that they planned from 130 yards away to shoot off the corner of his ear?
Old Dem: They never shot off the corner of his ear. That was all done by the people hanging around him. Nobody ever shot off his ear.
Sadly, Klug also interviewed quite a few others that believe some very questionable things…
It can be very entertaining to watch interviews like this, but we should also be deeply saddened by what has happened to our country.
What would our founders think if they could see us today?

Thank heavens for the Biden-Harris administration and its steadfast determination to root out institutional racism wherever it may hide. And it hides in the strangest places, too.

The All-Too-Short List of Conservative, Anti-Globalist Leaders

As the world shifts leftward and increasingly embraces globalism, a handful of leaders remain as holdouts—conservative, anti-globalist figures who advocate for national sovereignty, economic protectionism, and opposition to globalist institutions such as the United Nations, the European Union, or multinational trade agreements. They frequently push for secure borders and immigration…
And the Right is saying it was planned and carried out by the CIA with the Secret Services help. Take your pick of loonies.
The FBI/CIA/Secret Service are all controlled by the Left.
And, if by now one can’t see how corrupt the Left is, there’s no hope for them.
From all the evidence that has come out it appears the assassination attempt was a government hit job. The scariest part is ifit was a government hit job they are not done yet.
Cite some of that evidence loonie!
The largest issue I see is we can’t believe the FBI or the CIA and lord knows Mayorkas has never told the truth about anything. He just as well be a brother of Adam Schiff. If he said the sun was out a person better go look.
The Secret Service is DEI/CRT/ESG/BLM/Fa@@ot/Lesbo compliant!
Untouchable!
To say this was staged is one of the most irresponsible, asinine comments I’ve ever heard in my life. You people are all nuts.
We have a country full of those Stephen
