Conspiracy theorists are working overtime after shooting around Donald Trump: “Everything staged”

Less than an hour after the shooting incident during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with Donald Trump, the most bizarre conspiracy theories flooded social media. The most shared theory on X, Facebook and TikTok was that it was all staged by Trump himself. This would have been done to divert attention from bad polls or the war with Iran. More than 300,000 posts containing the term ‘staged’ were made on X alone.
