Many supporters of President Joe Biden believe the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump was staged and there was no intent to kill the president.
“Roughly one in five voters said they believe the shooting was staged and that there was no intent to kill Trump. This includes a third of Biden supporters and 12% of Trump supporters.” Morning Consult Poll reveal.
So, left-wing conspiracy theorists genuinely believe that Trump shot himself… but only shot him within earshot to make it completely believable.
Almost any poll is likely to find a significant percentage of people who will believe anything, but 33 percent is a surprisingly high number.

To believe the “Blue Anon” conspiracy theory, you have to believe that Donald Trump offered to be shot himself, that the 20-year-old shooter was skilled enough to shoot him in the ear, and that the other rally attendees, one of whom died, were not actually shot but were collateral damage in a Trump conspiracy.
Making the situation worse is that top MSNBC talent has openly questioned the legitimacy of the assassination attempt on President Trump.
Host Joy Reid has requested medical records, claiming Trump was bleeding from broken glass rather than being shot, even though there was no broken glass around him.
“I have so many questions! For example, where are the medical reports? What caused Mr. Trump’s injuries and what were his injuries? Mr. Shapenel?” [sic] “Glass? Bullets?” she asked. wrote on social media.
Reid’s colleague, MSNBC host Michael Steele, who was once the current chairman of the Republican Party, made a similar suggestion.
“Reports from people at the scene and other reporters say it wasn’t a bullet but glass from the teleprompter itself that caused the incident, but I wonder if it was a bullet,” he said.
“There are a lot of questions about that ear, but we don’t have any answers to them. Instead, we just see footage of a man with an injured ear walking into the hall.”
I’m just asking a question, not implying anything.

The Trump assassination attempt was not staged
Of course, the Steele and Reid conspiracy theory Proved wrongWhy would something as trivial as the truth hinder MSNBC’s reporting?
But you can also understand why the network’s dumb viewers would nod in agreement and say the assassination attempt was staged.
Reid followed up this absurd theory with other outrageous statements, including telling viewers of the network’s coverage of the Republican National Convention that Donald Trump was using the survivor of the assassination attempt as a photo opportunity.
And she argued that President Biden recovering from COVID-19 would be just as remarkable as President Trump surviving a bullet to the head.
It will be interesting to watch as big tech companies stand by and allow these conspiracy theories to thrive on their social media networks. How many QAnon conspiracy enthusiasts, COVID vaccine skeptics, and people who knew the Hunter Biden laptop story was real were banned from the platforms?
Do you think the reaction to BlueAnon will be proportionate?
In addition to those who believe the assassination attempt on President Trump was staged, the Morning Consult poll revealed some other startling figures.
For example, about 20% of Biden supporters said they felt “happy” when they heard the news that Trump had been shot. We would like to suggest that the Secret Service investigate these people, but they would probably hide under a slightly sloping roof to avoid being seen by them.
