President Donald Trump has been confronted by online claims that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was “staged.”
Trump, 79, hit the floor and crawled out of Saturday night’s event surrounded by Secret Service agents. A manifesto by suspected gunman Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was sent to his family moments before shots were fired.
However, shortly after the security breach, social media erupted with conspiracy theories that the shooting was part of a plot to distract from Trump’s disastrous war in Iran, his falling popularity, or to justify his contentious vanity ballroom after court appeals.
