President Trump advanced an unfounded conspiracy theory about a 75-year-old protester in Buffalo, New York, who was pushed down by police officers, tweeting without evidence that the confrontation may have been a “set up.'

In this image from video provided by WBFO, a Buffalo police officer appears to shove a man who walked up to police Thursday, June 4, 2020, in Buffalo, N.Y. Video from WBFO shows the man appearing to hit his head on the pavement, with blood leaking out as officers walk past to clear Niagara Square. Buffalo police initially said in a statement that a person “was injured when he tripped & fell,” WIVB-TV reported, but Capt.

With his tweet, Trump attempted to cast doubt on video showing Buffalo police shoving the man, who fell backward and hit his head on the sidewalk. He was seen bleeding from his head as officers walk away.Two Buffalo police officers have been charged with second-degree assault for the incident and could face prison sentences of up to seven years if convicted. They have pleaded not guilty.

There is no evidence to suggest that anything of the sort took place. Trump was referencing a report on One America News Network, a far-right news channel that he often praises. Gugino, who is out of the intensive care unit but remains hospitalized, has been described by friends as a retiree and veteran peace activist driven by his faith and a desire for social justice. He is involved with the Western New York Peace Center and Latin American Solidarity Committee, said Vicki Ross, the center’s executive director.Gugino’s attorney, Kelly Zarcone, told The Associated Press that Trump’s accusations “are utterly baseless and ridiculous.

You don’t think this planned to proof that they are not against black only!!

Why do you say unfounded? Are we looking at a different video or you seem to be much more qualified to decide what happened? Don’t make decisions for the rest of us, I know what I saw in the video. I don’t know if it was provoked, but it’s definitely fishy and intentional.

He's been cheating and lying for so long...

Sure, all of us old people want to be pushed, lose our balance (easily done when you are old) fall and crack our skulls on the concrete, loud enough to be heard several feet away, and bleed from our ears. Trump spent waaaay too much time with Alex Jones.

The video is in internet 🤷‍♂️ why unfounded?

Are we surprised by this action? A few days ago, he was insinuating that Joe Scarborough played a role in murdering a young staffer earlier in his career. What kind of mind comes up with such devious and outrageous lies?

I can’t tell you how much I hate seeing the word president put in front of his name.

The 75 year old set himself up to be pushed to the ground and possibly break his skull and bleed.

It was a set-up. AntifaTerrorists

Researched it yourself, journalist. That's your job?!?! This man has been in trouble for instigating hundreds of times..

Conspiracy theories-chase down a few tweets from gen x on this whole issue, the govt is hiding and killing protesters...report that

I would like to know what happened 10 seconds before this photo? Police were rough with this man when he was pushed and should not have continued past.

75-year-old man could be as old as Trump but it’s not fat like Trump-So the guy can easily fall from a young police officer’s push

Trump is mentally deranged!

Have yaw done any investigative reporting or do you get your news from social media now?

_Politics looked like a democrat setup , you would lie and say it wasnt even if it was to make your daddy chuck and nancy happy.

Unbelievable

🤮

Ya know, I can see realDonaldTrump being a member of flatEarth. Has he ever denied this?

The fool speaks! Don't listen to his lies!

Idiot.

The only possible set up here would be “go peacefully walk up to those guys and see if they violently push you to the ground without provocation.” Even if that was the case, he was still pushed violently to the ground without provocation.

ScoPoliticsNews Martin Gugino should press charges against Trump for libel. I’m sure a crowdfunder would quickly back that up.

Just stop reacting to his bs tweets. You're giving them oxygen

Just remember that we judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable

He is Not for the American People. One term is enough. Time to Leave the White House in shame.

unfounded? please MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople

p_hannam He should have been an actor. In the boxing world That's called taking a dive.

Video of the incident proves this long-time criminal scumbag was using a scanner to block communications of police officers. He will get his, be assured.

Frequency jammer or cell phone? Frequency jammer votes? Anyone...anyone..Bueller..Bueller? Anyone?...

This originally was a story on a Russian conspiracy theory site?! How is it that Trump finds it and makes it his own!!

Hence he earned his top place in Banking history AmericanDouchebag realDonaldTrump 👈 DeutscheBank dw_europe DeutscheBankAG FoxNews 🤣 PressSec

And if it's verified he was part of antifa would you report that update? Doubt it. Not seeing a lot from the AP on the Durham report that is coming. Crickets..

How ridiculous Trump is the President of this country

JonLemire Trump lies. The base refuses to believe he is one corrupt disgrace to America

Sounds about right for Trump. He lives on his own planet of reality.

Trump reigns as Number One as the Most Fact Free President EVER

A provocateur is a troublemaker. Confronting police who are telling you to move is creating trouble. Being pushed by the cop was severe. NYT: Martin Gugino is an activist, a peacenik who protested military drones, climate change, nuclear weapons and police brutality.

Even an idiot like me was easily able to watch other videos and see that this is obviously staged. Why do you want us divided? Why?

As I think about this, you realize that POTUS is either a racist, the POTUS is stupid or the POTUS never watches or reads anything and gets cliff notes about daily events from White Nationalists BlackLivesMatter

I am prepared to have any of my tweets without accuracy of evidence and logic removed. One can't push theories pulled by wild fantasy into forums of expression, unless one is hell bent on creating disruption & confusion.

The act itself is evidence enough of crime. If cops send in underage girls to stand outside your window, take photos in hopes that you'll speak to them in an inappropriate way, then we can test their criminal tendencies Most arrests stem from 'set ups'. They should fall like any.

There's plenty of evidence, you're just not interested in reporting facts. The media is a clown show, and have no desire to investigate anything that doesn't fit their narrative or help a democrat.

The president continues to demonstrate that he is certifiably nuts and should be removed from office.

'Ok after they push me I'll fall over and let my brains leak out.' sounds possible.🤔

realDonaldTrump/POTUS only cares about the truth that benefits himself and himself only. The news article he saw was from OANN literally the worse news source in the USA. They have lie more than FoxNews. They are so right wing crazy that they've forgotten on how to go left.

Red is the colour of the abused old man's blood. Brown would have been the President's.

A theory that was imported from RUSSA !

Is anyone surprised?

No Russian collusion delusion. I can see your point. President Trump.

probably his worst tweet and thats saying something

An obvious pattern & M.O.of blame shifting when he finds himself in deep shit,which is now a daily occurrence!No blame is too small to shift to others but himself which begs the question why in the first place is he the president of the United States?He’s obviously not qualified!

The only 'set up' is what happened to America. We were set up and now we have to deal with it.

ffranklin2

Conspiracy when it suits you. WAS UKRAINE A CONSPIRACY. FUCK RIGHT OFFF

Sure. And the blood on the ground from the guy's head hitting the pavement is also a setup. Brilliant scheme!!!

😯😮😕🙁👎👎👎👎👎

Nothing like writing your own history like it was a bad Star Trek novel realDonaldTrump

😤😡👊⚡Trump 💀we hate U

President Trump does not base anything on facts but instead will peddle in conspiracy theories to support his agenda. It's very unfortunate for the American people that he has single handedly made America the laughingstock of the world.

Except it's TRUE lol. Damn AP what's next orangemanbad

Thats what you get when you try to scan a police frequency. Btw. Why the fuck would you do that? To say hello?

Did he delete the tweet, can’t find it.

Jurnelizem

What? Trump tweeted without evidence No. Fucking. Way.

Anyone can download nationwide police scanner apps to their phones for free from iTunes or play store. No need to get close or scan anything. That's the dumbest part of that conspiracy theory.

Calling things fake is the easy way out... 2moths late on pandemic=112,000 dead U S blaming Democrats

Except we’re finding out now, that he was correct

The media is this country’s worst enemy. Stop trying to continuously divide America. What was he doing approaching the officers like that to begin with.

There is no evidence. But if Trump said the Earth was flat, his base would go along.

Was Mr Gugino using his phone as a scanner? You be the judge.

Trump 20. Media 0. Ex. Spying on campaign- Yes No collusion with Russia - Yes Mueller will find no collusion - Yes NO actual intel for FISA - Yes Obstruction trap - Yes Comey, Mc Cabe, Stroczk, lied - Yes Gen. Flynn set-up - Yes FBI 7th Flr corrupt- Yes

Patriotic America says NO to realDonaldTrump and ALL of his followers. trump’s attempts to destroy our great nation IS OVER!

GOP senators and Maga supporters has ZERO BALLS... remember that people when you go to the voting booths

Is anyone in the media interested in investigating Gugino’s background? There seems to be some questions. And he seems to have had the sense to take down his Twitter account.

The AP make crap up and tell half truths all the time! 😂 It’s no surprise you’d think everyone else was doing that too!

Trump's advanced a whole bunch of 'conspiracy theories' that have ultimately proved to not be conspiracy theories at all.......they turned out to be rooted in fact, soooo....will wait and see before I pass judgement. Besides nothing MSM says anymore is rooted in anything but hate

Why does anyon pay any attention to what the Turd in Chief 💩Blathers? HOW WOULD HE KNOW?

JonLemire Trump continues to demonstrate that he has disqualified himself from holding the highest office in our nation. What other Democrat, Republican, liberal, or conservative has behaved as Trump has behaved as president?

You wanna bet? I would place $100 on it being setup.

What was the old fool doing approaching a moving police line. Too bad he fell but he is as much to blame as the police.

In America Lying works better than truth!!!😡😂✝️🤮Christian Theocracy same as NAZISM

The ole liberal agenda lie is a little tired. Ask any hcp how eazy the elderly can fall.

More FAKE NEWS from the AP. Totally unreliable but great liberal propaganda. Sad that the AP was once a trusted source.

This is one of the top 5 worst moments in almost 4 years.

News people deep in their own bubble. They just can't see how Trump crazy tweets & comments creates a compulsive addiction behavior by news people. It's low hanging fruit that FILLS UP the news cycle SO THAT WHEN YOU FINALLY GET TO REAL STORIES, IT'S TOO LATE.

You advance all unfounded allegations against Trump, what is the difference?

Say it with me, “He LIED”.

Could be true

realDonaldTrump instead of sending out incendiary tweets that are based in bullshit why don’t you just start packing?

Yes if Don is the Director of the movie..too bad he didn't holler 'cut' on time!

Unfounded ? No that was collusion.

Batsh*t crazy...

Trump isn't leading the county; day and night he’s tweeting fantasies, gossip and bragging like a conceited little teenage girl!

Ridiculous

POTUS blames (Catholic) Christian Brother MartinGugino graduated from Jesuit HighSchool &retired computer scientist & No violence records. Heretic BunkerBoyTrump & WhiteHouse gang of infidels crossed redlines. Failed on covid19 pandemic: DontStay HolyWar looms

Trump expects all 70 year olds to be in a bunker.

How much money does AP get from China?

Too many unfounded theories and still the president. Isn’t he wise

Crap journalism from you. The baseless malicious conspiracy theory came from a right wing nut and the story was reported on by an actual Russian who also does propaganda for Putin. If you don't say that, you're complicit in the propaganda.

Does anyone think he did this on purpose ? Is it possible he wants to distract everyone from the fact that Georgia and the GOP are, in plain sight , blatantly suppressing voter turn out ?

Trump lied?!! Oh perish the thought...

chenweihua You’re too late to the party. That dude is an actor 😂 Please learn how to troll more.

“Unfounded conspiracy”? You mean “straight up dangerous lie”. Call him the liar he is, the scumbag he is.

Of course it was!! The media will not tell you that he was an 'agitator'...wake up and listen to what the 'media' is bombarding you with and what is being suppressed!!!

This

john_wawrow Watch this video and you determine if it was a setup!

Distraction from what

Mr. Gugino, speedy recovery. realDonaldTrump don’t judge Mr. Gugino till you have all evidence. You need to heal the country not divided it.

It’s not unfounded. There’s a video of him telling a peaceful black protester that he wants to ‘start some shit’

Trumps's theory came from this guy:

Press today: assumes no evidence, but don't ask: how do you know this?

Trump loves conspiracy theories.

chenweihua No. Wrong and biased. There is internal evidence in the videos that he was trying to provoke confrontation by compromising their communications. You are writing the opposite of the truth.

What is new?! realDonaldTrump is nothing but a hoax. Always making things up. It would be funny if he were a 1st grader.

The old guy went up to the police and confronted them, smells like a set-up to me!

Reminds me of that time a certain media outlet kept pushing an unfounded conspiracy theory about Russia. potkettle

You hear that seniors? Trump and his supporters don’t care if you get roughed up by police. You probably deserved it. Trump and his supporters are actually degenerates.

He sure fell over easily. Although that doesn't mean he didn't get hurt.

Just remember, 2 weeks ago Trump and his supporters were vehemently against the state and stay at home orders. Yet, today they lick the boots of those who are trampling the 1st Amendment right in front of their eyes. They fit right in with the DPRK and China.

ToddQuinones Funny if Trump says it it's a lie but if the Democrats say it it must be the truth. Brain washed unintelligent sheep. If media and Democrats stop pointing fingers at Trump people would ignore him. Not root for him more.

He got so many tricks up his sleeve a damned joker from Batman

Trump is right.

AP= Rothschilds... NOT a conspiracy theory... ThePeople are now doing the investigative work the FakeNews CorporateMedia refuses to do due to their complicity with the coup to overthrow a duly elected POTUS...

And I guess George Floyd was just holding his breath.

His history matters not. Unarmed and unaggressive. The video is very clear.

This one will leave a shit stain!!! realDonaldTrump

He IS a known ANTIFA antagonist. You guys look like fools by not doing your own research.

This tops it ! Enough now! The universe will not forgive this without total surrender

Old enough to remember FakeNews going after JoeThePlumber's past because he challenged their hero BO.

He would.

realDonaldTrump is not only a racist he is an ignorant human being. One who cannot decipher fact from fiction and seeks out racist ideas to support his position. Ignorance and racism are kin folk.

Sounds like he had Vince McMahon in his ear

You are FakeNews.

1)video - saying he was there -thought he was looking to get hit (same day as injury) 2)'professional agitator & Antifa provocateur-brags on blog abt of times-get arrested & escape prosecution-attempting to capture radio coms signature of officers'

I hope this man recovers fully and quickly--and that he finds a very good lawyer.

The guy was defying a lawful order to disperse and went forward towards Officers. He was looking for trouble and a lawsuit.

funny how his twitter page got deactivated.. I saw it before he got it done...nice try but .... Next.....

When libtards say 'Conspiracy theory' they are actually saying, 'My head is so far up my ass that I let MSM and the democratic party spoon feed me horseshit information to further my defunct worldview'. Trump2020LandslideVictory

The act itself is evidence enough of crime. If cops send in underage girls to stand outside your window and then charge you for talking to them- isn't that a 'setup'? Cops set people up all the time. It's time to set up cops everyday in every way. It's the only way to save the US

And it will stay “unfounded” if we leave it to “journalists” to look into it.

Get a grip AP....the guy was busted as a plant. Deserved exactly what he got.

Who controls the AP? Do your own research and you will see the agenda and the people behind it....

“Without evidence” you say?

He is 100% a long time protester and agitator. He knew exactly what he was doing and the whole incident was ridiculous and staged.

Gugino is a member of two nonprofits and part of the Catholic Worker Movement.

I noticed past 3 years pouts never says something until there is truth about it .

He's right. And, you are Fake News.

Watch the video it’s obvious what he is doing.

How's that Russian collusion you pushed for 3 years ? How about doing a tiny bit of investigative reporting as to the radio bodycam frequently he was trying to capture on his phone he scanned then held on to. Ask a LEO.

once again for all you bible thumpers: thou shalt not bear false witness

How about the UNFOUNDED narrative of “SYSTEMIC RACISM”?

It’s a set up just saw photo footage of the man talking with a news reporter camera man!!! They r always at the right place at the right time, weird how that works!!

Try this AP, Hire an Investigate Journalist to report your story’s and you wont be FakeNews DuckDuckGo Journalisms and learn something today! Never to late to pull your heads out of Soros Ass!

You apparently didn't take the time to read through the protesters social media before he deleted his accounts. I did. It's no conspiracy. He was a cop hating, communist sympathizer. Thankfully, the internet is forever.

WHAT IS THAT IN HIS HAND YOU SAY a RADIO FREQUENCY SCANNER IS WHAT

Imposible! Es que, en EEUU y el Mundo los racistas sean única y exclusivamente 'policías y hombres blancos'... Imposible es que, las movilizaciones de masas actuales! Sean exclusivamente 'por la muerte de un Negro' ... IntlCrimCourt ONU_es RELE_CIDH CIDH Pontifex_es

Try again...

Watch the video closely. Why does he wave his phone by their radios? Picking up the RF to potentially block/hijack is 100% legitimate. AntifaTerrorist

Trump is right. From the video, it is obvious the OLD man was keeping the FAKE BLOOD in his head. Waiting for the right time to covfefe!!!! 100% ANTIFA!

Pretty low for POTUS, but hey he has to go home and see his family, right?.....down there!

Are you going to investigate this gentleman’s background and history and if he has participated in any protest or supported other protesters? I assume as a fact finding organization you will. Waiting.....

POTUS doesn’t say it if he doesn’t have proof. TimesUp all the corruption is going to be revealed InItTogetherWorldWide TheGreatAwakeningWorldwide OUTOFSHADOWS

MikeBalsamo1 This has got to be a 'tell' on trump's part. He projects onto others, the cheating/lies that he is/has done. The Barr 'antifa' stories are all turning out to be maga/white-supremist provocateurs, breaking windows, starting fires. Barr & Trump are itching to start a 'race war'

If you view the video in slow motion you can see he is waving is cell phone over the officers communication equipment. If you care to investigate you’d find that is a common tactic used to steal communication signature and monitor police activity../

I’d just like to know the full story leading up to this

Look at that dirty Antifa terrorist old timer, terrorising those dozens of poor policemen. To covfefe with him!

We know that Trumps presidency was a Russian setup

Voting out Trump will eliminate 98% of Conspiracy Theories plaguing USA today

'...he could be' a member of Antifa. 'could be'? interesting choice of words. 'could be' allows tRUMP to make all manner of statements, lacking any truth.

he will recant later claiming he was 'joking', I'm sure (lol)

Have you no decency!!!

And you are giving him exactly what he wants by tweeting about it.

I mean I think things... I don’t say them out loud 🙄. Somebody has no filter... but he who has not sinned.... I can ignore this. Though good point about the scanner but can you let the FBI or whoever do their job?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now is perpetuating his bullshit. You know sometimes (a lot of the time) Trump says and does things that just are not worth reporting. Quit your clickbait ad revenue addiction, it's bad for you.

More than disgusting

Maybe investigate it then.

This entire tweet stream is proof of the failure of the American education system.

if it was a set up then they fell for it and made the protester fall for it

How a PEACE activist became James Bond. According to the propagandist, paranoid lying president he was using his cell phone 2 'scan & black out police communication systems'. Only dt's OANN state'news'can tell us HOW he can SCAN police com. systems after it has been'blacked out'

Disgusting.

You mean the long time social activist.

He’s correct! You people are 🐑

Someone found a tube on his back that spilled blood out when he lied down on the floor

AP is FakeNews. He was attempting to use an NFC style attack to capture police frequencies. Yes, it's a real thing and if you were actual journalists you'd do some actual journalism. It's amazing how many media labeled 'conspiracy theories' have actually been proven true.

If it is a conspiracy theory... What was in his right hand?

Actually reading President Trump’s tweet I realize it just asks some questions a good journalist should be asking

articles like this will guarantee a Trump landslide come november.

3 years ago the AP ran a tweet that went something like this, 'without evidence President Trump tweets that Obama wiretapped his campaign.' Following track record, I'm going to presume Trump is right and the AP is wrong again.

Just like Trump being wiretapped was an unfounded conspiracy theory

FAKE NEWS

It amazes me you asshats can’t consider the OBVIOUS FACT that the President has more information than you. And since y’all gave up on actual journalism years ago, he always will. Remember zinc + HCQ? The fake study YALL promoted that stopped trials & KILLED people? GFY

Umm, y'all shouldn't be throwing stones.

I remember when covid not being that bad was a conspiracy theory. Cucks.

So AP, a mix of news feeds from the MSM, which stopped at nothing to discredit & twist any shred of info and opinion counter to the preconceived narrative, is supposed to be unbiased in this opinion about an opinion? Give it a rest. All uncovered conspiracies were once theories.

That's just what 45 does. He doesn't care if it's true or false.

“Pushes”

Yeah he’s just like every other news media in America right now!!!!

I don’t think he has to give you any evidence.

They are protecting this yellow circle 🟡 with all they got. It’s a toxic cult based on immunity protections. This ends this year

did you prove it wasn't a theory? Or are you just going to report it's a theory.

Have you have you seen the guys Facebook page?

Because were too lazy to investigate ourselves says AP

🤔

What you should be reported is that MSM missed the fact that this man provoked the incident by trying to scan the officer’s belt and it was fake blood run through a tube in his mask. Assholes.

Just another day in the Trump presidency.

. constantly advances stories about realDonaldTrump without evidence. See how this works. America sees the MSM bias. Perhaps POTUS has knowledge of things that you don't. If he turns out to be right, I'm sure an apology and retraction will be right up!

Know what was an unfounded conspiracy theory? Russian Collusion.

Just because he’s 75 doesn’t mean he can’t act like an agitator. Having lived in progressive Madison I know first hand the aged ones can be pretty angry and mean when it comes to causes

Investigate the incident

Anyone is entitled to a opinion. Even a President.

The guy was a plant. There was no doubt he knew exactly what he was doing to get the reaction he got. And on film... ! If he didn’t want trouble he shouldn’t have been there. End of..!!

You got caught lying last week about Trump's comment about George Floyd. Are you really so far gone as to not understand the meaning of 'may have been a set up'? Do you effing JOB and investigate. If you can prove him wrong, do it. Otherwise, shut the H up with your propaganda.

You could, you know, do some research and review the footage. You are FakeNews

The guy is an agitator..Deliberately got in the cops’ faces & tried to scan their comm devices. The guy is also an a$$hole.

That could be YOUR Grand Father 🧐

Usually unfounded reports come from AP first. Jealous?

Unfounded only because you couldn't be bothered to look into it. Just because you don't 'report' it doesn't mean it didn't happen. There's a whole 'unfounded' world out there, all you have to do is imagine, then think for a change.

Have you investigated this mans history to prove the claim is unfounded or is your statement unfounded of facts?

Weird anything to save the narrative. You can see him running something over police radio/gun if you slow down video.

Why was he waving his cell phone around the officers' belt?

75 year old Antifa? Trump is despicable! The victim was a believer in human rights, and he had opinions, just like all of us. Trump is just an opportunist stirring hate. Get him out in November, and all his racist swamp.

How in the hell can you set someone up to push you down and bust your head open and leave you there to bleed to death... AT THE AGE OF 75.... the mess that comes out of Trump’s mouth is pathetically ridiculous and foolish.

JonLemire 'Pushed conspiracy theory' - I see what you did there.

The president doe need to quit tweeting about ongoing criminal cases.. trump2020

LOL. Trump is an asshole and so is anyone who supports him. Pretend his idea is true. The police could have easily dodged the 'set up' by not shoving an unthreatening elderly man ro the pavement.

I don't even like Trump and I know its true

😡😡😡😡

trump just makes things up👎

Not sure if I should be sad because the world is watching what a moronic jack of trade Trump is or that some idiots/no brain are repeating the same crap.

Oh sure, it was a stunt so he could crack his head open. Trump, you are beyond hope!

Of course he did to drive the media CRAZY.

I think they need a doctor down there at 1600 Impeached pPresident Lane something seriously is wrong with the Donald maybe he fell and cracked his head going down into the bunker something is not right

Theory. 1.2An idea used to account for a situation or justify a course of action.

Report it for targeted harassment.

It was there is video of him wanting to attack police a few hours before trying to incite others to do the same. Do some freaking research . Busch league organization.

It’s predictable that he would tow the line of pretending to be for the black community and desperately wanting their votes one day then flip to “I better not lose all the MAGAts in the police/military.” He is literally clueless. There’s only 1 effing way he wins. Putin/stealing.

You keep saying this stuff and 75% of the time he ends up correct. Don’t think we don’t notice that...

NEWS MEDIA. STOP PROMOTING/REPORTING TRUMP'S CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!!!!! THIS. IS. DANGEROUS.

Trust me this guy would be giving interviews all over liberal media if he was innocent. Plain and simple.

Give it until Thursday. But it won't matter.... Your narrative has already been written

Trump loves to get his hateful base riled up. A set up? I guess the doctors at the Erie County Medical Center must be in on the 'set up' too. They kept Mr. Gugino in the ICU for a week.

This dude governs in smoke & mirrors. He’s unfit. He can take his small brain and even smaller hands home—we’ve had enough.

So the police were in on the “setup”? Something that makes them look like assholes?

The President is off the rails

One of many Hollywood stunt people working for the democrats

a better theory: Trump is a Russian Agent/Spy who is here to Make America Great for Russia.

Hmmm, if it was truly unfounded why have twitters 'fact check Nazis' mark it as false ?..... Because even THEY are not for sure. No, I don't think that it was a set up, but I DO think that it is a strong possibility that it was a 'IN YOUR FACE' moment.

_Politics Here's your evidence. FakeNews

A lot of disinfo going around right now and it’s important to be critically vigilant. On one hand, the old man has a history and it looks like he’s skimming with his phone. On the other hand, no old man deserves his head cracked open for that. It could be staged but not faked.

Unfounded?! Bull crap! I live near Buffalo & even the black Mayor of Buffalo said publicly that guy is an activist! He has been arrested 300 times, his social media proves he is a wack job AND he was trying to get the police comma channel for who knows what reason! YOU lie!

_Politics This is Martin Gugino martingugino before the incident. Is that the Buffalo N.Y. WBFO Radio/NPR reporter Mr. Mike Desmond MikeDesmondWBFO that filmed the incident and just happened to be 'In the right place at the right time'? Yeah it is.

Cold at hearts

If the police force was not prone to excessive use if force and primed to exercise it then they couldn't be set up. No one could seriously claim that man was a danger. No one need set the police up. All they need do is show up. Unless your armed right wingers.

?

BIDEN is so PRESIDENTIAL at the funeral of George Floyd! ! And unfortunately..we got that ORANGE DUDE...and I’m still trying to understand since Nov 2016....HOW the hell did that piece of SH (orange dude 45 ) get that office ? It’s GOT to be RUSSIA, et al !

Jesus the media is liberal propagandists or as dumb as a bag of dogshit or both.

JonLemire Of course he did! He wants to believe the police weren't wrong!

When the police line is walking north 5 minutes after curfew set in and you have been warned 3 times by bullhorn, PLEASE do not walk south! Logic 101.

JonLemire So, the conspiracy theory goes he had a helmet...so, if he 'planned' his fall that literally cracked open his skull, why was he not wearing it? His cell phone is now some sort of super technology to disrupt police scanners? Sad to remember who is tweeting this out? Yep, POTUS

Can you Picture Trump, Kayleigh & Stephen watching video. Oh look he’s trying to grab his scanner. Yes, yes. Oh that cop barely pushed him, he totally threw himself on the ground. That guy is a retired pro wrestler

Any POTUS who spreads conspiracy theories should not to be in office. Period.

Dude just says anything 🤣

So even the push was a setup

Another lie. Please call it for what it is.

Wow way to play down a monstrous and divisive tweet,..

Theory... Formerly known as fairytale...

FOOLISH MINDSET. We are not distracted.

Media advanced Russia conspiracy with zero evidence for over 3 years...

Don't Trump supporters have eyes to see? The Nazis called everybody they didn't like a terrorist too. The difference is Germans, didn't have smartphones and videos.

I think Trump has lost what few Marbles he had left. Invoke the 25th amendment remove the mentality I'll person from the oval office. Any executive in the country acted like that they d be fired already

Messing on active case... isn't this obstruction of justice?

AP... now Trump is picking on the Elderly! GIVE ME A BREAK! How much longer must we deal with Trump and his Racistican Party... how much lower can trump get in his own Party’s Swamp!

jack Twitter thought this was being monitored ?

FOOLISH Trump is a bad soul with a bad mind and a bad intent. He is only for Trimp.

Fits Trumps behavior

Turns out in the universe of conservative “news” outlets, Fox was actually the semi-responsible one. That’s insane.

Yeah, those old dudes are causing all sorts o'trouble

Trump knows something you don't..love it

W lights out and in bunker realDonaldTrump comes up w conspiracy theories SO THE PEOPLE CAN FORGET HE IS HIDING FROM THEM. BunkerDon

“Do you agree with president that this was a setup?” would be a great question to ask today of LindseyGrahamSC, marcorubio, senatemajldr, SenatorCollins, JohnCornyn, senrobportman, SenCoryGardner, SenRonJohnson. Sure they “didn’t see it” or “are late for a phone call.”

Hey if Trump ever falls, I hope no one helps him and we all call it fake. That sob is a wretched hog.

A conspiracy theory published by fakest of news OANN and written by a RUSSIAN who also writes for Kremlin owned Sputnik. Trump is a TRAITOR and RUSSIAN asset!

Even if it was set up the cop shouldn't have done it. Was the cop part of the setup. Was the 50 somewhat people that resigned part of the setup.

The old bastard shouldn’t have screwed with the police

Not unfounded. If you have to ask, you won’t believe it when you find the facts.

👎

How about showing the video of him talking to blm and anifa before all this? How about the fact his phone remained in his hand after he was suppose to be knocked out? This was a set up!

TrumpIsASetup

He did the classic “fall so hard that blood starts coming out of your ears and you almost die” routine to own the police

Right. And the blood flowing from his ear & pooling on the sidewalk was fake. He must have had a flashback to the Maralago club member who bled all over his marble floors. The orange faced baboon was ‘disgusted’ by the sight of blood staining his precious floor.

'Guy didn't tuck the chin when he fell, must have been a plant.'

Just like his wiretaps tweet. It’s going to end up being true. He loves playing the media to look like fools.

All is fake, the man, blood everything is fake.

Damaged child

JonLemire Another Trump horseshit conspiracy theory

JonLemire Why do they want us to sacrifice the elderly all the time? Let them get the virus for the economy, now let's put 75-year-olds in front of rioting police officers.

What is he doing with that device in his right hand

JonLemire This is the GOP & his base going along with whatever this man says. A devout Catholic, who took the teachings of Jesus Christ to heart & action is now being disparaged by the President of the US? This is what the Republican Party has devolved into. Hate, divisiveness, lies...

JonLemire He is inhumane. Say it!

In the same context we may also say that, on the other hand, by pushing the white man it is a set up by the white supremacists to prove that the white policemen did not target George Floyd because he was black and downsize the ongoing demonstrations against racism.

Ah yes, the cops were *tricked* into being oafish and hostile, and then *conned* into ignoring his limp body. He's literally a a nonviolence advocate, but the president would rather double down and tweet bizarre accusations than say that maybe, just once, police could do better.

_Politics 'Unfounded'

Ok we all know now trump is bat shit crazy.

That same standard should be applied to Russian treason theories.

So he somehow knew that police would knock him to the ground and callously walk by as he bled. Wow! What foresight. Excusing away brutality is why we are where we are.

Can the media stop repeating his craziness tweets. It's exhausting.

Amazing he is the best at dividing a country. What a DINK....

The people filming him before the incident were worried he might instigate something 🤔

It is a set up. Even if it wasn't, we don't care. You jump into traffic, you get hit by a vehicle. Period.

Utter bonkers. But hopefully he is out on his backside in November

If trump can't think of anything to say to unify the country he should just shut up.

How is this newsworthy?

That’s my BUFFALO protestor and 🖕🏿Trump.. crazy narcissist.. yeah he’s in ICU cuz he set it all up..us folks here in Buffalo,yeah big ole senior citizen conspiracy organization 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The White House says Donald Trump’s tweets are official statements from the president of the United States. This tweet is not responsible behavior from POTUS senatemajldr why are you not concerned?

I would say rather then push it, he's just acknowledging

Who are we as a nation when we have children in cages and literally push down the elderly?

JonLemire Hope his tweet has been flagged by twitter as such.

Half of the news stories coming from the AP is wrote without evidence hahaha

He’s probably right

strange way to say LIED

Thank you, Associated Press, for reporting this accurately.

Hmm

trump = retardado. então esse velho deve ser doido para nesse idade se meter com uma polícia que é praticamente uma quadrilha ou uma SS.

Stay focused everyone. Trump is trying to distract you from the unprecedented voter suppression happening in GA right now.

VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020

People in glass houses...didn’t you guys cover unproven and partisan stories about Russian collusion and Ukraine phone calls for like three years?

So? Maybe is was 🤷‍♀️

The cyberNazi censors of LockheedMartin, who run a covert censorship regime for rogue elements of the U.S. govt, will not let me post a cartoon rendering of Trump's demented brain-read:

This is what most bothers me about the whole Trump/MAGA thing. Blatant unfounded lies that are repeated without any proof of veracity! If you found your policy platform on lies and deceit, you can never be trusted.

Silly country

Can we impeach this bitch again?

He must know something

Trump is a spreader of hate and divisiveness

Quick look at his twitter page confirms - “ACAB” hashtags and “f —- cops” comments

Trump is evil.. has always been evil.. and people who support his and his evil agenda are evil too!

Unreal

Let me re-address this topic. (Trump speaks facts about Buffalo protesters )that is real journalism. You’re welcome

What's new. The President is pushing lies to justify what he is doing/about to do. What a time we're living in, where on some days, the difference between the president and a conspiracy theorist is non-existent.

Where is the GOP? What a bunch of fools.

TrumpOut2020 VoteTrumpOut

There is no bottom....

If this is true, then all those police who quit must have also known it was a setup. Probably stepped down because they were pissed.

The Bunkerbaby is cracking under the strain of bad polls

He was skimming police radios to jam police communications.

When are you going to firgured it out white peoples trump and white supremacist is a danger to everyone

First and foremost, is the poor old man alive?

If it looks like a duck...

Is it a problem that the President is commenting an active legal case?

Our President is so so dangerous

Stop denying the founded truth.

Are we surprised at this point? Trump’s politics are built on conspiracy theories.

He’s letting us know that no stone goes unturned.

JonMurray JonMurray Delusional

Of course he did. Anything to defend the police.

I'm sure this sounds bat shit crazy to our allies.

' May have been '. That doesn't need evidence.

Correction: President Bunker Bitch

The FACT remains that it is NOT prudent to try to block an oncoming formation of uniformed riot police who have lawfully ordered protesters to disperse. 75-year-olds are supposed to become 'wiser' NOT 'wise asses'! Police could not 'see' his age...

RealDonaldTrump just loves dominating a news cycle..and he'll perform any trick to keep his name in the news. Marketing, marketing, marketing...

realDonaldTrump BunkerBoy that 75 year old protester is 10 of trump

More UNFOUNDED bs from the Liar in Chief's pie hole.

A source familiar with the man’s thinking said he was ANTIFA. Isn’t that how it works for you journalists?

Trump, Citing ‘Conservative Treehouse,’ Says Injured Man Set Up Buffalo CopsLast week, a Buffalo cop shoved a 75-year-old man to the ground. President Trump is pushing a wild theory about what happened without any evidence He got it watching OANN. Doesn’t that say enough? The police were defended by the mayor. The man was an instigator and would not follow orders. Had he followed orders and not aggressively approached the cops, he would not have been shoved. NYmag have you heard the news? When 45 went down the basement bunker he was inspecting for agitators...

Trump floats baseless conspiracy about 75-year-old Buffalo protester pushed to ground by policeThe president on Tuesday suggested without evidence that a 75-year-old man who was knocked to the ground by police in Buffalo, N.Y., last week during a protest over George Floyd’s death was a member of antifa and that the incident was “a set up.” There is a video from the day before of the guy trying to start trouble. Trump might be right again. 80 million of the 81.9 million follow Trump just to keep current on the lies he tells, such as a 75 year old man wielding a police communications black-out scanner, who fell down (backwards) harder than he was pushed, as though some part of the lie was somehow rooted in reality.
