In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
#Trump #TrumpRally

Unsubstantiated claims about the #TrumpRally in Butler, PA, immediately flooded social media after #Trump was escorted off the stage.

Without proof, posts built on ideas circulated by Trump that the “deep state,” or a government cabal, blamed shadowy figures on the left targeted Trump to stop him from returning to office. The #disinformation surfaced on platforms favored by the #FarRight including Gab, Truth Social & Parler, as well as on X, Telegram, Facebook & Instagram.

Some said that a gunman w/ties to the so-called “deep state” had opened fire & shot #Trump. Without evidence, the posts also blamed govt agencies such as the FBI & the CDC.

Rep #MikeCollins, #Republican of #Georgia, quickly accused President #Biden of ordering an apparent shooting at the #TrumpRally, but provided no proof. “Joe Biden sent the orders,” he wrote on X.

The #HouseRepublicans judiciary committee is also spreading #disinformation #ConspiracyTheories accusing President Biden or targeting #Trump.

#Republicans are sick.

@Nonilex Makes one think that this really was an op. Biden pulling ads and the Fascist GOP are using it for propaganda and infowar

@lawyersgunsnmoney

The Biden campaign is pulling ads because you don't keep campaigning when your opponent has fallen foul of political violence. At least, not if you're a decent person.

If this was Biden's doing, with the resources he has to call on, Trump would be dead. Quietly, at night, in his bed, from "natural causes."

@PeterLG @lawyersgunsnmoney @Nonilex If this were Biden's doing, it also would have been legal, per SCOTUS ruling in Trump's favor.

@PeterLG @lawyersgunsnmoney @Nonilex
And the supreme Court just made it so that it would be legal.
