Survey Finds 1 in 3 Democrats Believe Trump Staged His Own Shooting

Beatriz Madan | July 19, 2024

According to a recent and disturbing poll, one in three Democrats do not believe the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was authentic.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that 34% of surveyed Democratic voters think it’s either  “definitely” or “probably credible” that Trump campaign staged the July 13 shooting at his own rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which left Trump with a minor wound to his ear, two others critically injured, and one man dead. 

Only 45% said they definitely do not believe the incident was staged.

Many prominent liberals, including athletes and celebrities, have spoken out promoting this unfounded conspiracy theory, while providing no evidence or actual arguments for how Trump would have pulled off a fake attempt on his own life.

However, the eyewitness accounts, documented evidence, and loss of life more than proves the assassination attempt was very much real, and that Trump is fortunate to have survived. Moreover, it is insulting to Donald Trump, those who were critically injured, and the man who was shot and killed in the incident to claim it was all fabricated.
