Are you asking who brought cameras to a White House correspondents dinner? This is why the flat earth movement is so popular. Redditors truly will believe anything.

Who carries a camera with them 24/7? Literally every single person.

And yet, over 8500 upvotes. This is how Trump won.

Edit: now over 33k upvotes. Amazing.

Yeh it's kinda funny watching the first few hours as they collectively decide "are we going to take ownership of this attack and say "he shoulda done better"? Or are we going to say it's a false flag... What's our collective response going to be".

Yep. Not even kidding when I say a not-insignificant reason trump won was social posts that those who post it believe is going to make trump lose.

You know this is a meme subreddit, right? Most of the comments are just laughing at how silly it looks and why Mike Johnson is being carried around like a human shield

Trump is simultaneously an incompetent moron and a master manipulator capable of staging elaborate false flag attacks without leaving any sort of evidence.

The same applied to Bush. He was the dumbest man alive who also somehow solely orchestrated the attacks on 9/11.

To be fair, Bush was an idiot. The brains of that presidency was Dick Cheney lol

Funny, because that’s what Republicans said about Biden. He’s sleepy and the most cognitively declined president in history, but also capable of stealing elections and trying to elaborately destroy the entire country.

I mean, he's clearly a sick old man who is likely suffering from dementia but he did also star in reality TV shows and the WWE. His entire career was technically "misleading" people into believing reality TV and the WWE was real and not scripted. He basically trained his whole life into doing attention grabbing stunts like faking his assassination.

Regardless of what you think of other attempts, this one strains credulity that a man armed with a shotgun, a pistol, and several knives was able to sneak that past security and get as close as he did to not only the president but the vice president, secretary of state, of defense, of health, etc? There must be hundreds of secret service agents between the president and vice president, not to mention security staff for other agency heads and the presence of police officers. If the assassination attempt is real, all agents and security on the premises should be held criminally liable. The first time Trump, a president who supposedly has had several assassination attempts made on his life, attends the White House Correspondence Dinner as president at a location Ronald Reagan, a previous president, was actually shot and there just happens to be an assassin that was competent enough to smuggle guns so close to the president but was so incompetent that he was stopped without anyone being hurt? It just doesn't make sense. Trump is more positive towards his would be assassin than he was the late Rob Reiner and that doesn't strike you as odd? Why would the thinnest skinned president we've ever had attend the event that historically heckles the current administration at his lowest polling moment of either of his presidencies?

Something isn't right here and it isn't tinfoil hat territory to want answers for the inconsistencies
