Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested that the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, might not be as it seems and could be a hoax.
In her post, Greene remarked that the original inquiry posed the question of why Trump didn’t take the lead in revealing the truth about the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. On July 13, 2024, Trump was hit by a bullet that struck the top of his right ear when gunmen fired from a rooftop.
“This is a crucial post and certainly worth considering,” Greene stated. “Corey Comperatore’s family deserves clarity regarding Matthew Crooks and the events in Butler.”
“Trump should be leading this effort more than anyone else,” she added. “It raises the question, why wouldn’t he?”
The post that Greene shared originated from someone identifying as a longtime Trump supporter and national representative. Trisha Hope recalled hearing Trump speak at the Republican National Convention, where he mentioned people were imploring him to disclose “what happened.” Trump expressed then that discussing it was painful, suggesting he would not ask again.
“There was considerable concern at the convention about Trump’s well-being, and we felt it was divine intervention that he was saved,” Hope wrote. “During his speech, he wore earmuffs, and many in the audience did too. He began his talk by saying, ‘So many people want to know what happened. I will tell you exactly, but it’s too painful to repeat, so this is it.’”
Hope later reflected, “Initially, I thought it was odd for him to open with this,” noting it was her “first red flag.” She found Trump’s remarks “completely out of line.”
“When there are lies, they tend to be substantial, yet details are tricky to keep consistent,” she continued. “In my view, Trump’s statement was meant to halt any further discussions. He shared the official narrative, but only once, and then it was over.”
The post contains additional details.
After he took office, I found it strange that Trump did not vigorously pursue those responsible for the incident. It felt like he brushed it off.
His Secret Service team failed him, allowing the shooting to occur while facilitating a perfectly timed photo opportunity.
Rather than holding the team accountable, Trump appointed a certain individual to lead the Secret Service on January 22, 2025, providing him with a significant promotion despite the failure.
Look at the photo critically. Trump was allowed to stand as the flag was lowered, highlighting a potential for multiple tragedies. Notably, other agents bowed their heads at the precise moment the iconic photo was taken. It’s almost too scripted to be real.
Corey Comperatore, a former Pennsylvania Fire Chief, was shot and killed that day while attempting to shield his wife and child.
Following the assassination attempt, former Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle was questioned about security issues during a rally. Cheatle ultimately resigned in July 2024.
