DISINFO: The Deep State and desperate globalists organised the Trump assassination attempt
SUMMARY
On the attempted assassination of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The US Deep State, which is currently considered desperate and willing to do anything, [is] responsible for this attempt. The actual president of the USA was shot and survived. But the deep state is desperate. They are in trouble. They will try to expand wars. Ladies and gentlemen, the deep state has done this; make no mistake about it. Take this deadly seriously, similar to the war with Russia. They will try to kill Trump again.
RESPONSE
A wild conspiracy theory, devoid of any empirical evidence, seeks to capitalise on the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The claim is paired with disinformation narratives about global elites and the US Deep State.
The perpetrator of the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. There is no evidence to suggest that he is connected to any broader conspiracy.
Promoting conspiracy theories is a frequent pro-Kremlin technique to sow mistrust in institutions in democratic countries. See other examples in our database, such as claims that the West is behind the attempt on Slovak PM Robert Fico's life, that JFK was assassinated by Israel, which controls US deep-state, that globalists aim to destroy Russia because Russia supports the transition to a multipolar world order, or that there was electoral fraud in the US because the Deep State didn’t want Trump reelected.
