In reply to the discussion: Brent Molnar: With a few opinions about Trump's alleged assassination attempts [View all]RockRaven
(18,631 posts)52. There is a word for this, and it is not flattering:
BlueAnon
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueAnon
BlueAnon (a portmanteau of blue and QAnon) is a term used to describe conspiracy theories which posit Donald Trump's engagement in elaborate schemes to unlawfully seize or maintain control of the United States Government, independently or as the object of manipulation by foreign governments. The term comes from the blue political color of the Democratic Party, which is the major opposition to the Republican Party of Trump.
Assassination false flag conspiracy theory
Some BlueAnon theorists have alleged that the attempted assassination of Donald Trump was a false flag staged by Trump himself.[7][8] Snopes has examined and discredited viral photos alleging to show Trump plotting with gunman Thomas Crooks, as well as claims that Trump was injured by glass instead of shrapnel.[9][10] PolitiFact has debunked claims that blood which appeared to be coming from Trump's ear following the assassination attempt was faked with a blood pill.[11] Reuters has analyzed viral photos from the 2024 Republican National Convention that purport to show Trump wearing a bandage on the ear opposite the one that was shot in the attack and determined the images were doctored.[12]

I like that the Secret Service stood around for 5 hours afterward so he could grab his shoes.
