I'm not going to hold your hand and walk you through this. If you don't see the left salivating over anyone unaliving Trump then you have been REALLY focused on your cross stitching....which BTW looks really great.
A perfect example of how to admit you can't establish the veracity of your ridiculous strawman claim without actually admitting it.
The age-old logical fallacy of self-evidence.
Followed by an ad hominem attack on the person requesting you prove your proposition.
You make a patently ridiculous claim.
You're asked to prove the truth of that patently ridiculous claim.
You expressly refuse to prove the truth of that patently ridiculous claim and attack the challenger for asking you to prove the truth of your patently ridiculous claim.
Kudos, my man.
Excellent work.

Anyways.....this is a pretty unique take on the shooting....
The assassination attempt was probably best summed by UFC CEO Dana White, the only man in America with exactly the right amount of head trauma to fully understand our current reality. “It was fucking awesome,” White told NBC News’ Ryan J. Reilly. “I literally took every minute of it in. It was a pretty crazy, unique experience.”

The general, “so what?” from the country is, of course, troubling. And Puck’s Dylan Byers wrote on X about the disquieting experience of watching America collectively shrug its shoulders on Saturday, describing an experience similar to my own. Like Byers, I was in a bar watching the Knicks game when the news hit that Trump had been evacuated from the WHCD. And, like Byers, none of the TVs changed to the news. No one seemed to even notice. Back in 2024, during the first assassination attempt, I watched dozens of phones around me ping with push alerts. I was on a plane, listening to passengers nervously whisper about the news. But there was no discussion this time. The uniquely American 21st-century callousness that has allowed us to ignore school shootings and COVID deaths and climate catastrophes and ICE occupations has reached its logical endpoint, where we just accept that this is simply just how things have to be.

Though, there was one difference this time. The Atlantic argued in a piece on Sunday that “the shooting at the Correspondents’ Dinner made clear who gets saved first.” Obviously, President Donald Trump was rushed out, as was Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. But Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, not so much. The violence of modern America will reach us all eventually. The 1% of the 1%, the richest and most powerful, will likely get out safely. Maybe their wives will too. But the rest of us will have to decide whether we run, hide, or clip it for social

This is weird. Seems it's not just the "radical left" having these thoughts/claims......
MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged
David Gilbert·6 min read·Apr 17, 2026In recent weeks, as criticism of President Donald Trump from his own supporters has reached a fever pitch, a new conspiracy theory has taken hold: Some of the president’s biggest supporters are now claiming, without evidence, that Trump staged the assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024 and is covering it up.
During an open-air campaign rally on July 13, 2024, Trump survived an attempted assassination when a bullet fired by a 20-year-old on a roof nearby clipped the top of his ear. Corey Comperatore, a Trump supporter sitting near the president, was shot and killed. The shooter was later killed by Secret Service agents. Conspiracy theories around the Butler assassination quickly permeated the internet, but for many Trump supporters, his survival was seen as a sign from God that he was the chosen one.
As Trump’s hold over MAGA has waned, though, an increasing number of his supporters have begun to push the narrative that the entire incident was staged.
"I think that maybe it was staged," Tim Dillon said on his show last weekend about the assassination attempt. Dillon, who was previously a staunch Trump supporter, went on to share that Trump should now come out and say, “Some people are going to be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it was to vote for me and how far I was willing to go for them.”
Some of these claims began months ago. In November, former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson promoted the idea that the FBI was somehow involved in covering up the shooting, writing on X that the “FBI lied” about the shooter's online footprint.
A day later, conservative pundit Emerald Robinson went further, posting on X that the FBI “did it.” (In the same post, Robinson claimed that the agency was responsible for everything from the January 6 attack on the Capitol to “Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail tapes” and the “Gov. Whitmer fake kidnap plot.”)
But the claims that Trump had staged the entire thing really picked up steam when former US National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent appeared on Carlson’s podcast last month, one day after he resigned from his position over the Iran war.

During the interview, Carlson and Kent discussed the failure of the Trump administration to provide more details about the Pennsylvania shooter. Kent claimed, without providing any evidence, that investigations into the shooting had been shut down before they finished.
Kent also claimed that this vacuum of information about the incident would lead to more conspiracy theories. “If you don't want to address that question, then you just go silent and say you can't ask that question,” he said. “Which then creates people who come out of nowhere and they start drawing their own conclusions.” (This is, experts say, one basic dynamic behind conspiracy theorizing.)
“If you cannot look at this story and use critical thinking skills and have at least some questions, you are the problem and we need you to snap out of it,” Trisha Hope, a GOP national delegate from Texas and former Trump supporter, posted on X about Butler this week.
On Telegram, prominent QAnon promoter MJ Truth asked his 100,000 followers: “How does everyone feel about the narrative surrounding the Butler Assassination Attempt on Trump?”
The overwhelming majority of the hundreds of replies, almost all of whom remain Trump supporters, said they believed the incident had been staged and that the truth may never come out. “The truth will come out 60+ years from now when we're all dead and nobody really cares anymore … just like JFK!!!!,” one follower wrote.
Many claims about the Butler conspiracy theory have also involved discussion of the Israeli government's purported control over the US government that strongly echo classical antisemitism. In a monologue posted on his channel last week, Carlson questioned why Israel had “so much control over our government” and claimed that “one of the clues is the Butler shooting” and that the Trump’s administration’s failure to investigate the incident indicated the level of Israel’s control.
This allegation was then echoed by Candace Owens, another prominent MAGA figure, who claimed in a recent podcast that Israeli-American political donor Miriam Adelson was actually behind the attempted assassination. Owens claimed that Trump had taken $100 million from her in donations, but had not followed through on his promise to then support Israel’s annexation of the West Bank, and that this was the reason for the attempted assassination. Owens further suggested that this was also the reason Trump never really investigated the assassination properly when he became president.
Ali Alexander, the far-right activist who organized the Stop the Steal campaign in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, has a slightly different take on the assassination, claiming instead that it was further evidence that Trump is the Antichrist, something many MAGA figures have also been considering this week.
“To be clear: if Donald Trump didn’t receive a miracle, then it was deception or a dark sign,” Alexander wrote in a five-page PDF he posted to his Telegram channel on Tuesday evening. “There is biblical prophecy in Revelation 13:3 apparently about the Antichrist being struck on the head.”
The passage in question actually reads: “I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.”
While the vast majority of people discussing conspiracy theories about the shooting today are Trump supporters or former Trump supporters, in the hours and days after the shooting, it was left wing so-called Blue Anon accounts pushing the claims that the shooting was staged, suggesting it was all orchestrated by the Secret Service and that Trump had used blood gel packs in an attempt to draw sympathy and votes.
Lmao you posted this, then commenced to posting exactly what I was referring to. Like I said, no need to hold your hand through it.
And I was serious about the gifts to your office mates it was in no way an attack. Excellent work.

Why do you dismiss the filth that comes from the president as "Trump just being Trump" but not give the same consideration to someone like Jeffries. Do you expect them to back down and apologize when he never has?
Show me where I've ever "dismissed" Trump's filth. Or ever said that's Trump just being Trump.
Don't you find it odd that Jeffries started that diatribe mere days before the WHCD?
Goes hand in hand with proliferation of the insanity.
Go peruse social media, if you can't find the saliva you aren't looking...at all.That’s your proof that the left is salivating for Trump to be killed?
Really?
You sure as hell haven’t been here condemning Trump’s and other MAGAstanis’ filth like you are “the left” right now.
When you talk about “proliferation of insanity”…..is that proliferation coming ONLY from “the left” in your mind?
Or maybe you should spend less time perusing social media and attributing the posts of the crazies to an entire side of the political aisle.
I know doing so has done wonders for my mental health and peace of mind.
Yes because he should be bowing down to Robs lord and Savior Donald Trump.
You do realized what I “commenced to posting” was in no way related to “lefties salivating over Trump being unalived, right?
One was about a general indifference to acts of violence being exhibited by both sides.
The other was explicitly about MAGA purveyors of conspiracy theories around the Trump assassination attempt.

This is also the type of thing that feeds the conspiracies.

OK. Sorry. I'm not gonna search posts so let me ask in a different way.
This proliferation of horrible behavior by politicians to each other and the media and the political violence that is likely generated by it, what percentage of fault would you give to Trump for how things are right now?
