Minutes after Trump was shot, Hundreds of self-serving hoaxes filled social media. Most of them are absurd. The journalists at Newtral.es have been debunking the vast majority of fake news that revolved around the assassination attempt. Neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton orchestrated the attack. Nor was the shooter an anti-fascist activist.

Hoaxes and a lot of fantasy to tell a false story about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Social media was a hotbed of lies. The main one was the sniper’s details. On X, users claimed that his name was Marco and that he was an anti-fascist. Shortly afterwards, the authorities confirmed the identity of the shooter.

Although it was not the only hoax. One tweet claimed that Donald Trump was wearing a bulletproof vest because one of the images shows what looks like a hole in his jacket. And no, it is not a bullet hole.a, in fact no projectile has been reported to have hit on the former president’s torso.

You only need to open the map to realize the manipulation. In reality It is the wrinkle of one of the security members who later evacuated Trump with blood on his face and ear.

Another conspiracy theory is that attempts have been made to accuse Democratic figures such as former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and even Joe Biden of the assassination attempt. The case was so serious that the head of security for the Democratic candidate for the US elections had to intervene to stop one of the hoaxes that pointed directly at him: “It is absolutely false”.
