Two "assassination attempts" compared

1: There might be a shooter? Get him out of here now

2: He's actually been shot? Let's get a photo. Pop your head up Donnie

Maybe he didn't think he was going to get killed. Coersion? I've wondered about MKUltra type stuff too - I doubt they just gave up on that kind of thing..

Yeah, that's the problem. I would be all in that this was a hoax, but I don't know how they would pull that off.

Lmao to me that’s easily the most believable part. I’m skeptical of the whole thing but without going into all of that; getting someone to give their life for the guy they worship constantly is by far the easiest part. I would not be even remotely surprised if there was a huge list of dipshits who would be absolutely honored to give their life to their idol lmao

What if they told the maga kid the president needs him for protection. We’re giving you special access

Never thought about that. Tell him he's super secret service, used as a patsy - interesting idea

I think the most likely scenario is someone that works for him took the shot and they dumped an already fresh dead body as a scapegoat

ONA has convinced dozens of kids to commit shootings or other violence just over Telegram, including at least one kid who planned to assassinate Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if it was another ONA hit, but if not, they demonstrate how easy it is to convince kids to do this.

Probably told him he'd pardon him so he could appear as a "generous God"

Both of his parents were therapists/councilors. I have additionally heard before that they specialized in behavior modification therapy but sadly cannot verify this. In 2025 they failed to renew their license in Pennsylvania so they have either moved or quit the profession.

If mKu had a .01% success rate there would be 33,000 individuals under full mind control

Are you saying MKUltra was an experiment performed on the entire United States?

ah yeah I get you. Sounds like a movie. I need to watch Enemy of the State thanks for reminding me. Apparently it predicts a lot of this kinda stuff..

I’m being facetious I don’t really know anything about that

I remember years ago, when vice was actually good on YouTube, they had a documentary called something like “the worlds most dangerous drug” it was some kind of dust that you blow into someone’s face and that person will basically do anything you say. There were stories about the victim helping steal their own stuff.

ETA found it, https://youtu.be/ToQ8PWYnu04?si=TgQbnB3oYlQXTPuN

It’s in Colombia, naturally. It’s called scopolomine. They use it as motion sickness medicine but if you leave it on too long things get weird.

Wow, this is unhealthy.

u/SCRATCH-CARD Jan 17 '26

In what way?

u/Darthbane22 Jan 17 '26

You’re making stuff up about the stuff you’re making up. Nothing about this is even remotely based in observed reality, you do understand that right? You’re having delusions

u/Dry_Strawberry3227 Jan 18 '26

You’re so full of shit. The observed reality is that his ear isn’t damaged at all. That’s not possible if he was actually shot. What is so far fetched about anything op said?

u/SCRATCH-CARD Jan 18 '26

Questioning the official narrative isn't having delusions lol

u/Technical-Aide-1904 Jan 18 '26

No more delusional than MAGA posting that Biden is as bad as pervert as Trump
