I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

Who made millions off the Polymarket bet that Trump would have an assassination attempt again?
Knowing how Trump works, if there is no bet, I’d say that’s proof it wasn’t a conspiracy. But the opposite holds true, too.
There was a polymarket bet?
I don’t know, but it wouldn’t surprise me
I’m going to take that as a ‘no’ then
You’re as bad as a redcap, spreading disinformation because it “wouldn’t surprise you”
Sarcasm and frustration is not disinformation. People who read such comments as literal “disinformation” need to take some responsibility for vetting the information they’re consuming. Use some common sense to judge the quality and source of the comment before you decide it’s an intentional effort to deceive you.
I agree with you generally speaking but I don’t think the sarcasm was very obvious in the initial comment. And given the context (a post asking “Why do people think X?”) it does come off as a bit misleading.
There were bets on Trump saying certain words. Since it was canceled, he said none of them. https://polymarket.com/event/what-will-trump-say-during-whca-dinner-on-april-25
Allegedly there was also a bet for “Trump won’t speak at the dinner” but I can’t find seem to find it
There is going to be polymarket bets on anything trump does tho. Bets on him saying certain words seems pretty run of the mill to me
Sure, but a clear financial motive always creates suspicion.
Which polymarket bet? What is your source?
He’s not a journalist, he’s not “reporting facts” on lemmy. He’s saying it wouldn’t be surprised if someone DID place a bet, like the special forces guy who got arrested for a polymarket bet. Maybe try to chill for a second.
Then my eyes can only roll further into the back of my head as this platform degenerates into Q level conspiracies based feelings rather than facts.
it’s Lemmy, most sources are people’s ass.
