Dayum...
This... I don’t even know what to say...
Nearly one third of Americans (30 percent) believe that at least one of the three attempts on President Donald Trump’s life over the last two years was staged, according to a new NewsGuard/YouGov poll. For each attempted assassination, a majority of Americans said either that it was staged or that they were not sure — averaging 54 percent across all three.
Only 38 percent of Americans believe that all three assassination attempts were authentic.
A national survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by YouGov on behalf of NewsGuard asked respondents from April 28 to May 4 whether they believed any of the three attempts on Trump’s life — at a July 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024, and at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April 2026 — “was staged.” Respondents indicated whether they thought the statement that the assassination attempt was staged was “true,” “false,” or that they were “not sure.”

I’m amazed that anyone, regardless of party affiliation would believe the Butler, PA or any other assassination attempt was faked! Two people died there! But for 42% of Dems think the Butler attempt was fake??? What the hell?
Are these people really that delusional? Or is this a reflection of the media’s ‘messaging’ these days???
I’ll be damned if I know... Sigh...
it's what comes of emoting rather than reasoning. When your beliefs are centered around, and established by your feelings, as Americans have been encouraged to do for the last thrity years or so, facts that don't match your feelings are thrown out. It must be faked because if it wasn't, then everything that you believe, must be wrong, and that just can't be.
The fact that people died is irrelevant to them. (In fact, the majority of leftists think that ANY Trump supporters dying is a good thing.) As for why so many believe that the attempts were staged, it is because they know that their side would (and has) stage attacks against themselves to drum up support, so they can't comprehend why our side wouldn't do the same thing.
