Would-be shooter accused Trump of being "awful," a "traitor" and retweeted Trump was able to fake assassination attempt

Trump is “quite capable of having staged a fake assassination attempt on himself to trick the American public,” argued one user in a message that Allen retweeted.

Allen appears to have started posting on the Bluesky social media platform in February 2025, a few weeks into Trump’s second term. That account frequently criticized the Trump administration’s policies and lamented that more powerful figures weren’t taking action against the president.

“Everyone already knows trump is a f**king awful person in multiple dimensions and no one has done sh*t,” the “coldforce” account wrote in April 2025.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a press conference with other Justice Department officials Monday that investigators are probing any connection Allen may have had to left wing groups, though Blanche was not asked about the posts specifically.

Last month, the account posted to accuse Trump of being a “traitor” to the United States.

“Put a traitor BACK in office, get treason like, I don’t understand why people are surprised by the US ripping itself apart,” the user wrote in March. “I’m pretty sure that’s the expected outcome of having a traitor at the helm.”
