On the 13th of July 2024, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former and future president Donald Trump was nicked in the ear by a shot fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks. The shooter was subsequently shot dead by police.

However, with such an incident recorded on the internet, especially in a Post-Musk Twitter, anything can happen. Soon, theories of all shapes and sizes across the political spectrum spread like wildfire. Some called the shooting a false flag, a fake assassination attempt of sorts. Some blame the Biden administration has having been responsible for the attempt.

The incident would raise many questions, the most notable being how the shooter was able to be openly standing on the roof of a building, with the Secret Service being alerted of it and their seemingly slow response to the incident.

Another incident occurred on the 15th of September at Trump’s golfing club. The shooter was apprehended and nobody was injured. Though this second attempt hasn’t been mentioned much since for the first, more questions had been raised than answered.

Identity of the shooter

The shooting

“Trump was never shot”

Among those opposed to Trump, there have been arguments that the shooting was staged for political gain, or to keep the masses distracted for whatever reason.

“No ear scar”

"The ammo type didn't have the range/was not accurate enough to hit Trump"

There are claims that Crooks's AR-15 rifle (with a 16-inch (41 cm) barrel, chambered .223 Remington ammo) would not have had the reach to hit Donald Trump from the vantage point Crooks fired from. Crooks fired from 430ft (130m) away from Trump. Supposedly the bullets hit wrong people due to bullet drop of the .223 cartridge. However, .223 Rem is well accurate up to 656ft (200m) with right ammo.

"Biden/The Deep State/The Democracts/BlackRock did it"

The Secret Service’s slow response to the clear danger has been criticized by many, seeing as how preventable it was.

Though this criticism has lead some to believe that the Secret Service was intentionally incompetent so as to let Crooks assassinate Trump, some point this as being Biden’s fault, or another Deep State entity. Marjorie Taylor Greene has said the assassination was Biden’s fault, highlight his "bullseye" comments. Representative Mike Collins has claimed that Biden "sent out the orders".

False flag

Some on the other side, have said that the Secret Service acted incompetent on purpose, knowing the attempt would fail to give Trump a better image for the election, seeing as how iconic the image after Trump was shot is.
