Does This Video Prove the “Trump Assassination Attempt” Was a Hoax?
Usually stuff like this is easy to debunk, but…
The above video appears to show the first three shots being fired in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. According to the official story, the second of these three shots nicked Trump’s ear. The problem is that we can see that the Secret Service sniper, not Thomas Matthew Crooks, fires the shots. And we can see that the second shot cannot have nicked Trump’s ear, because the Secret Service sniper is aiming in a completely different direction (presumably at Crooks).
I looked through the comments on the video in search of a convincing rebuttal. There isn’t one. The only extant attempts to debunk the “sniper took the first three shots” thesis turns out to be smoke-blowing and misdirection, mostly involving claims that shots fired after these first three are relevant to the argument, which they obviously are not.
At this point in my admittedly cursory investigation of the above video, there are basically two possibilities: (1) the video is what it purports to be, proving the “Trump assassination attempt” was fake; (2) the videomaker is a hoaxer assisted by commenters who pretend to be debunkers but intentionally offer invalid debunkings to surreptitiously support the videomaker’s thesis.
Since I have so many sharp, savvy subscribers and readers—including you—I am asking for help. What am I missing? If this video is not slam-dunk proof that the “Trump shooting” was faked, can you explain why not?
As I have outlined in previous articles, I think it is overwhelmingly likely that the shooting is a hoax, based on probabilities of:
*A 20-year-old autistic rifle-club reject with no relevant skills whatsoever coming within inches of killing Trump, a man who is supposedly being hunted by the world’s top deep state and/or Iranian kill teams.
*The first-ever shooting at a Trump rally just happening to give the Trump campaign the best imaginable PR stunt, worth tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
*The alleged assault rifle bullet beating billion-to-one odds and somehow nicking Trump’s ear for a perfect PR stunt without ripping it off and causing a massive concussion.
*The photographer beating million-to-one odds by capturing “proof” that the second bullet was on a trajectory to hit Trump’s ear.
So it wouldn’t surprise me if this video provided even more proof. Nor would it surprise me if it were a misdirection attempt—“bait” for people like me to snap up and later be discredited if it turns out to be bogus.
So which is it? Please weigh in on the comments section, supporting your assertions with relevant links.
