Media Now Claiming That Maybe Iran was Behind Trump Shooting (Haha)

I came out and boldly said that the Trump “assassination attempt” was probably fake. I didn’t say I was sure, I said that’s what it looked like to me, regardless of the details. From 40,000 feet, it looked fake.

One of the responses was that if it was going to be fake, they would blame Palestine or Iran.

Well.

New York Post:

US officials received intel about a sinister Iranian plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump just weeks before a deranged gunman shot at the GOP nominee at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend.

The threat prompted the Secret Service to boost its protection around the 78-year-old, two US officials said — though the additional resources didn’t prevent Saturday’s shooting, which does not appear connected to the rogue nation’s plans.

Trump was grazed in the ear after Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire. Three rallygoers were hit by gunfire, including Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old hero firefighter who was killed as he protected his family.

The potential Iranian plot was shared with the lead agent on Trump’s protection detail and with the Trump campaign, the officials said.

Huh.

“As we have said many times, we have been tracking Iranian threats against former Trump administration officials for years, dating back to the last administration,” said National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson.

These threats arise from Iran’s desire to seek revenge for the killing of Qassem Soleimani. We consider this a national and homeland security matter of the highest priority.”

When Trump was president, he ordered the killing of Soleimani, the leader of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, in 2020.

“At this time, law enforcement has reported that their investigation has not identified ties between the shooter and any accomplice or co-conspirator, foreign or domestic,” Watson stressed.

We’ll see where they go with this. Maybe they’re just throwing it out there.

And again – I haven’t said “the shooting was fake.” I have said that my immediate response was “this is a fake thing to turn Trump into a superhero so he ‘wins’ the 2024 election and comes in as Caesar.”

(I later issued a sort of “soft retraction” and said that the details of the situation are so complicated no one is ever going to know what happened, but that the effect is exactly what I said – Trump is Caesar now.)

The Democrats are officially standing down, which certainly helps my theory. There is no reason for them to stand down. They say they’re not going to replace Biden because they’re sending condolences. Apparently, they’re going to send condolences for the next four months?

For the record, Iran has denied these allegations.
