The Trump assassination attempt in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania yesterday has spawned all sorts of gossip, theory, and opinions, mixed with a wee bit of fact.

Before we dive in, here is the footage of the attempt, caught live and streamed to the world.

President Trump was injured when the bullet grazed his ear. If he hadn’t turned his head at exactly the right moment, we’d be talking about his funeral. A person behind the former president was shot and died immediately. Two other rallygoers were wounded.

Trump was subsequently checked out at a local hospital and quickly released a statement on Truth Social saying he was fine.

Terrible MSM coverage

First of all, the MSM reliably downplayed the attempted and used it as a way to try to make former Pres. Trump look foolish. Behold some of the ridiculous headlines.

Pretty vile coverage, yes? It took hours before they admitted this was an assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, on social media

On social media, you could also rely on the liberal denizens of X to be nasty. The hashtags #onejob (reference to “you just had one job and you messed it up”) and #theymissed trended for hours.

There were many tweets (are they still called tweets? xeets? I have no idea) that bemoaned the shooter’s inaccurate aim, including a few that branched into outright hysteria at the “missed opportunity.”

Others claimed this was a false flag, created by the Republicans to buy voter sympathy and votes.

Watch, this whole thing will be found out to be a hoax. All orchestrated by Trump.
