I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    How many attempts are you aware of where the secret service keeps the president elect on the stage during an active shooting?

    He wasn’t president elect at that time. He would have been “former president, and likely (but as of the day of shooting unconfirmed) 2024 republican presidental nominee”.

    The attack happened in the summer of 2024. Election in November 2024.
