Theories are flying fast and loose after the recent Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. People on both sides are speculating wildly about what really happened during the event.
Some leftists believe the whole thing was staged. They suggest former President Trump used a fake blood packet as he slapped his ear. They haven’t decided if they think slain firefighter Corey Comperatore and others were crisis actors or just unfortunate collateral damage. Trump’s critics seem too wrapped up in their own narratives to process the details.
Meanwhile, some on the right suspect a setup. They point out that Trump’s Secret Service detail seemed woefully unprepared, and local law enforcement didn’t exactly make it hard for a 20-year-old with YouTube shooting lessons to position himself for a nearly perfect kill shot, which was thwarted only by divine intervention, they believe.
Calls for Investigation and Suspicions of Foul Play
Despite varying opinions, there’s a consensus that the facts don’t add up. Efforts by government officials to stonewall those seeking answers only fuel skepticism. Representative Cory Mills, a Florida Republican and former Army paratrooper, told CNN’s Kate Bolduan that the bizarre irregularities warranted a thorough investigation, including the possibility of a government-linked plot to kill the leading candidate for the 2024 presidential race.
If we entertain that premise, the next questions are who did it, why, and how? While the Biden administration seems a likely suspect, some theorists propose an alternative: the Bush family. Notably absent from the recent GOP convention, the Bushes and their allies may have had their reasons.
One intriguing detail involves Austin Private Wealth. The day before the assassination attempt, this firm was the only one to short Trump Media and Technology Group stock, suggesting they knew something the rest of us didn’t. Similar short sales happened with airlines before 9/11, which conspiracy theorists have long claimed was an inside job to justify the Iraq war and other nefarious goals.
Financial Ties and Historical Echoes
Interestingly, photographer Doug Mills was present for both Trump’s near-assassination and the iconic moment President George W. Bush was informed of the 9/11 attacks. Austin Private Wealth, connected to former Secretary of State James A. Baker—a close Bush ally—raises more eyebrows. Baker, a significant figure in both Bush administrations, might have influenced the “new world order” ideology that George H.W. Bush famously endorsed.

This ideology possibly inspired figures like George Soros to fund progressive candidates, leveraging financial resources to influence law enforcement and judicial systems. The Bush and Soros families, though seemingly adversaries, might find common ground in opposing Trump’s isolationist policies.
Twitter detectives linked Austin Private Wealth not only to the Bushes but also to Soros and woke investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard. While connections may seem tenuous, the real question is whether these players had the means and motives for such a conspiracy.
Adding to the intrigue, the shooter, Thomas Crooks, had ties to BlackRock. Crooks, who died at 20, appeared in a high school commercial for the investment giant. This prompted Senator Josh Hawley to question BlackRock’s CEO about any connections. Simultaneously, George Soros’s son, Alex, made social media posts that some interpreted as calls to assassinate Trump.
It’s worth noting that Trump’s situation echoes a historical incident. In 1912, former President Teddy Roosevelt survived an assassination attempt while running for a nonconsecutive term. Roosevelt famously continued his speech despite being shot, showing resilience that Trump’s supporters liken to their candidate’s.
Our Take
The idea that Bush allies and financial giants like BlackRock and Soros might conspire to take out Trump is alarming. This kind of deep-seated corruption, if true, undermines the very fabric of our democracy. Transparency and accountability are crucial to maintain public trust. The American people deserve answers, and the reluctance to provide them only raises more suspicions.
