Ever since the July 13 assassination attempt against #Trump, he & his allies have promoted unfounded #ConspiracyTheories & blamed #Democrats directly for the violence. The effort appears highly coordinated: From #JDVance to Trump’s sons & #MAGA #Republicans in #Congress, many have used the same rhetoric to declare that Trump’s political opponents sought to have him murdered at his campaign rally in Butler, PA.

NO ONE has furnished ANY #evidence to support that claim. And while #Trump himself was relatively quiet in this regard during the initial aftermath, he has since been POURING FUEL on the fire, starting w/a campaign speech on Aug 5 in Atlanta, where #JDVance introduced him by emphasizing that Trump’s opponents had “even tried to kill him.”

#Trump took the narrative to the next level in a softball interview w/TV host Dr. Phil that aired this week. The first quarter of the hour-long conversation focused on Trump’s brush w/death as a divine miracle, which was a major theme of the #RNC in Milwaukee just days after the attack. “It has to be God,” Trump said…about surviving the shooting. He went on to claim that…[it] could’ve ended up like the 2017 massacre in Las Vegas, where hundreds of people were gunned down.

Later in the interview, #Trump returned to the shooting unprompted, focusing blame on President #Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris.

“I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault & Harris’ fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing govt against me, they brought in the whole DOJ to try & get me. They weren’t too interested in my health & safety,” he claimed w/o evidence.

@Nonilex

So was he shot by the DOJ or a demented MAGA with an automatic rifle?

Was he shot or was he hit by teleprompter glass?

Why did his ear look perfectly fine after being hit by a high-power auto round a week later?

We'll never know because the only person that did an exam was serial liar and alcoholic, Ronny Jackson.

Thanks, I will!
