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.”
