Trump compares saying last night's shooting was "staged" to saying WWII and the Holocaust didn't happen

Trump Confronted on WHCD Shooting Being ‘Staged’

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-confronted-on-whcd-shooting-being-staged/

The president said he had not heard any of the theories until O’Donnell asked him.

“I think they’re more sick than they are con people,” Trump said of conspiracy theorists. “But there’s a lot of con in there too.”

O’Donnell also mentioned previous Trump-related conspiracy theories, including that the attempt on his life during a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, “didn’t happen.”

Trump added more conspiracies to the list, suggesting some believe Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel “didn’t happen” and that “World War II didn’t happen and the Holocaust didn’t happen, and many things didn’t happen.”

were all filmed on a Hollywood soundstage.

Every attack on Hair Furor, however, were real, actual attacks on a con artist.

That was him.

It's like saying Russia was a hoax... oh, wait that was him.

It's like saying Ukraine quid pro quo was perfect phone call... oh, wait that was him.

It's like saying Iran will never close the Strait again... oh, wait that was him.

It's like saying there has been regime change in Venezuela... oh, wait that was him.

It's like saying his 3000 sqr ft apartment is 10000 sqr ft... oh, wait that was him.

One could go on forever on why no one believes in Trumpland anymore. What is real and what is fake? Who knows.
