‘Biggest Scam Ever’—Donald Trump Sparks Fresh Conspiracy Theories After Internet Sleuths Claim to Spot ‘Clue’ About Assassination Attempt

People online are spreading another Donald Trump conspiracy theory. Some are saying Trump has a body double. Others claim Melania Trump has been secretly replaced by someone else.
Now, a new theory is gaining attention. Online users are comparing old photos of Trump with recent ones taken after the shooting incident where a bullet grazed his ear. They believe something isn’t right.
Recently, Trump was seen wearing one of his red MAGA hats, and his ear looked completely healed. The shooting happened last July during a rally in Pennsylvania. A gunman got onto a nearby rooftop and started firing. One of Trump’s supporters sitting behind him was killed, and two others were badly hurt.
The shooter was a 20-year-old named Thomas Matthew Crooks. He used a rifle similar to an AR-15. A Secret Service agent quickly acted and shot Crooks dead while protecting Trump.
Now, some people on the internet think the attack was fake. They’re sharing pictures of Trump’s ear before and after the shooting, claiming there’s no visible injury. They say this proves it was all staged. One person said ear cartilage doesn’t grow back and used photos to try and prove it. Another person called it the biggest scam ever.
But others pushed back. One user replied that the wound was just a graze and didn’t go deep. They also pointed out that Trump is a billionaire, so it’s possible he got the best plastic surgeons to fix his ear.
Another person said they don’t even support Trump, but they still don’t believe the wild theories. They explained that the FBI, which was under President Biden at the time, confirmed Trump was injured. Doctors also said fixing an ear like that isn’t hard and can look normal again after surgery.
That same person said the ear has many blood vessels, which explains why there was so much blood. The blood on Trump’s face didn’t come from the bullet directly, but from him bending down, which caused it to run down his face.
Some people also believe there’s still a slight difference in his ear now. They pointed out a small gap in the curved part of the ear. Someone else added that surgeons have been doing ear reconstruction for a long time, and it’s even possible today to grow a new ear in a lab.
