‘Staged’: Conspiracy theories surge after shooting at White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Social media was flooded with conspiracy theories after a gunman’s thwarted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, with internet users claiming – without evidence – that the attack was “staged.” Users claimed Trump had fabricated the shooting to divert from his poor approval ratings or the Iran war, others theorised it was to promote his White House ballroom plans. Vedika Bahl goes through the theories, and the clips that added fuel to the fire, in Truth or Fake.

Trump is “Staging” a war in Iran. How difficult would it be to stage a questionable performance?
Conspiracy theory is not believing it was staged..
You retards in media lied to us about WMD in Iraq 2003.
Out of 100s of millions of users on social media, its not hard to believe that there would be more than 300k people who are delusional or mentally ill. However it was surprising that a "News Network" decided to run this useless story… Tells me how credible this network really is!!
Of course it was. Who are they kidding….
Continuously lie get called a liar.
I think it was staged simply because the alleged gunman was not full of holes
the pedophile already kills Corey Comperatore and Thomas Crooks in the previous staged chapter
Let’s not talk about the inner violence of capitalism. Let’s forget that political violence is basically a mantra of the MAGA movement. And more importantly, let’s forget that we’re all affected by a poor economy driven by disastrous policies from a lunatic who’s still learning how to be president at the pace of a slug…
Your conspiracy theory really sucks. I have nothing against fun, but we’re all drowning. Maybe it’s time to face reality?
He lies with every breath.He will probably deny the Holocaust next week if it suits him😂
i knew it was staged as soon as i saw Erika Kirk cried.
The Trump administration has totally ruined their credibility.
Just another staged distraction !!!! Now everyone will talk about this nonsense and forget about the real issues, Palestine, Gaza, Iran etc etc
One thing is clear, the Americans need to practice more, need better accuracy and training for their snipers, and assassins.
People getting along with their shadows.😅
So, looking at Cole Tomas' background, he's clearly opposed to all Trump stands for. So, if this was staged, how would that work? "Hey Cole, DJT office here! Can you do us a favour and stage a hit on Trump? It'll help build his ballroom and boost his midterms." "Err… so what do *I* get?" "Oh, you'll die in jail." "Well, as a Caltech engineering graduate, let me think critically. Ok yeah sure I'll do it!"
Y'all are clowns.
Check out American 60 minutes! Seems a bit strange his reaction to the gunman's manifesto of him being a pedophile!
Ask yourself would a person that was not guilty be so sensitive?
Every show in the circus was staged. Just so you know!
very few comments on Trump falling to his knees during his quick walk….took 3 Secret Service agents to pick him up again & guide him out. You see it from a camera view behind him. He's not even physically fit to be a leader….we all know about his cognitive failures.
They forgot the tomato ketchup this time.
Donald trump one hundred percent staged this
The WH wants the taxpayers money flow to them with this security issue 😂
Let's see … how many times has it been already that his lies have been proved to be lies.
For him truth is a word in the dictionary.
trolls
Oh the irony
The last time people were shocked and it created support. Now, staged or not, there is only disappointment by many…
He’s going to try to boast that he’s immortal after this
