No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

"I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating" - I think we're well past insinuating. Straight out declaring would be more accurate now. The man has no credibility left. No one trusts him with the truth, their money or their daughters. If I was a betting man I'd say his foreign handlers are already lining up the next candidate for the world stage. You can also tell, by the way, that none of the big media channels are buying it either. All you need to do is compare their coverage now with at the coverage of the assassination attempts of previous presidents. When Reagan got shot the whole world stopped to look. It was literally everywhere. This, so called, "attempt" was a small front page story that will be gone in a couple of days. The mid terms are coming. I expect more and more panicked moves between now and November.
I agree he has no credibility. But is there any other reason besides that to think it was faked?
I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but there was a leak a few days ago that said Trump was staging a fake PR blow up at the event. Like he'd discussed with his team that he was going to go on an unhinged rant and storm off like it was everyone else's fault, because somehow he thinks that that makes him look like the adult in the room.
At the time I read speculation that this had been leaked by his own team in order to prevent it from happening, because it's obviously such a stupid idea to everyone but him.
He skipped every other White House correspondents' dinner, and he was only going to attend this one in order to stage a fake PR moment.
Obviously that's not proof, but add it to the pile of circumstantial evidence.
The thing is people aren't looking for reasons to believe it was faked, that's the default with trump now. The question is what makes anyone think it's real? He's the one who coined fake news so can't really blame anyone for not believing the "news" 😅
Just a bunch of suspicious actions lining up. obviously no one has come out and said "We are planning a false flag operation to fake an attempt on trumps life"
But you have right wing reporters being cut off mid sentence on right wing news programs when talking about the weird heads up they were given before it happened..
and when you have attendees discussing how weirdly light the security was compared to previous years when trump didnt attend (You'd think the president attending would have heavier security, not lighter than ever)
and a source in the white house leaking that it was planning a big mic drop event for the dinner about a week before hand
and you have trump, a known coward, who typically panics and looks for cover, sitting there smirking while its happening (No flag to drop down from a crane to make a big posed picture for this time, sadly)
and the inevitable question is.. what would he gain from it if it is true? And the answer is, a lot.. especially when you consider what he faces after the midterms.. which is impeachment and possible 25th amendment invocation... not to mention the rest..
Like His poll numbers are at historic lows. His cult is disintegrating around him, he failed in his attempt to rig the midterm elections with the SAVE act not getting passed, and as a whole popular opinion is turning against him and the republicans, to the point that even Republicans are expecting major across the board losses come the midterms.
What better way to try to reclaim some of his popularity, his polling, and his cult, and try to rally republican voters for the midterms than with another assassination attempt? Especially since the last big one (the one that supposedly shot him in the ear, that was magically healed with no scars/trauma/etc a week and a half later) did so much to boost his polling and popularity.
like I said in the very first sentence, no ones gonna come out and straight up admit that this is what factually happened, but a skeptical look at the facts at hand, and what we know about Trump and his personality.. It seems like a plausible scenario to assemble from the pieces we have.
Where can I find more info on this stuff in particular?

Thank you
No prob man, and my links arent the only ones that exist. Try to find some on your own after lookin at them. Its good to get several perspectives.
He faked the last one
