DERANGED DEMOCRAT PARTY: 42% of Democrats Believe Trump Assassination Attempts Staged

These are the vile, dangerous lies the Democrat party is telling their people. The incite to murder, then claim its faked. America is under attack by the greatest domestic threat since 9/11.

Naturally, nearly half of all Democrats believe in the *least* plausible explanation of Butler—that the assassination attempt was somehow staged

There is not a scintilla of truth to that theory

And yet, like Marxism, Dems love it https://t.co/8EViIde06O

And: On the recent attack at the gala of the White House Correspondents Association, 34 percent of Democrats believe it was staged. To say we have a very fundamental truth crisis feels like an understatement. The survey comes from News Guard/YouTube: The contention that the three events may have been staged correlates strongly with party identification. Across all three events, Democrats were far more likely than Republicans to endorse the “staged” framing…. For the most recent event — at the April 25, 2026, White House Correspondents’ Dinner — 34 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of Republicans said it was staged, a 21-point gap…. The 2024 incidents show an even larger partisan divide. For the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting — when a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and a local firefighter attending the rally was killed — 42 percent of Democrats called it staged, compared to seven percent of Republicans — a 35-point spread, the largest partisan gap in the survey. For the Trump International Golf Club assassinaton attempt, 26 percent of Democrats and seven percent of Republicans said it was staged (Newsguard). Washington Post points out the obvious: No evidence has surfaced to support the conspiracy theories claiming that any of the three gun-related incidents at Trump’s public events was staged (Washington Post). Larry O’Connor: EVERY Democrat running for office should be asked by reporters if they believe the Butler assassination attempt was real or staged. EVERY ONE OF THEM (O’Connor).

34% of Democrats believe the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents dinner was staged. Even though most of the people there were Democratic Party journalists

Donald Trump has been the subject of three assassination attempts over the last two years, however, a NewsGuard/YouGov poll released Monday finds that 30% of Americans think at least one of those incidents was staged. pic.twitter.com/MqkfrqmghH
