Following two recent incidents—an alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and an attacker detained at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25—baseless conspiracy theories claiming these events were staged have proliferated across social media platforms. Influencers from both MAGA and left-wing circles have promoted these claims, citing perceived anomalies such as Trump's raised-fist reaction, the appearance of his injured ear, photographers being strategically positioned, and a perceived lack of information regarding the shooters' motives. Experts and investigative reporting, including analysis of photographic and video evidence and official statements, indicate that these theories are not supported by facts. The FBI confirmed Trump was hit by a bullet fragment in Butler, and the attacker at the Correspondents' Dinner was indicted on federal charges, yet skepticism persists, fueled by an "outrage- and rumor-filled online economy."
