DISINFO: Zelenskyy and his Biden administration sponsors might be behind Trump shooting
SUMMARY
US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s repeated calls for peace in Ukraine have made him a target. Peace means a loss of power for Zelenskyy’s Nazi regime and its American sponsors from the Biden administration. That is why Trump has become an enemy for neo-Nazi Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy will stop at nothing to keep Trump from winning the presidential race. There might be a Ukrainian trace in the assassination attempt.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory. No evidence has been provided to support the claim of a “Ukrainian trace” in the assassination attempt on Trump on 14 July 2024.
The perpetrator of the attempted assassination of Trump has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. There is no evidence or link to suggest that he is connected to any broader conspiracy. His former classmates described him as conservative-leaning and as a “misfit” and a “loner”. There is no information to corroborate Crooks’ potential relation with Ukraine. The FBI said it believes that Crooks acted alone and was not involved in a larger plot.
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 transition to a multipolar world order, or that there was electoral fraud in the US because the Deep State didn’t want Trump reelected.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that Trump shot because he wants talks with Putin on Ukraine, that Ukrainian trace found in assassination attempt on Trump, and that Ukraine is involved in the assassination attempt on Trump.
