Melania Trump Pushing Conspiracy Theories To Help Promote Her New Book

Melania Trump is trying everything she can to promote her new book, including spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the attack at her husband’s rally this past summer. In a video clip that she released, Melania claimed that there is “more to the story” and that a full investigation needs to be conducted. An investigation IS being conducted, and so far it just seems like a lot of incompetence rather than a true conspiracy. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why Melania is pushing lies.

Melania Trump has a new book coming out at the beginning of October. So she's been releasing several, you know, 30, 45 second videos on social media to hype it up. And in one of those videos this week again, where she's trying to hype up the book that she's hawking, which I'm willing to bet she didn't write, but that's neither here nor there. She decided to, uh, dive into the realm of conspiracy theories in order to entice some more people to come and buy her garbage. Here is what she said in one of those, I believe this one was like a 37 second video. The attempt on my husband's life was a horrible, distressing experience. Now the silence around it feels heavy. I can't help but wonder why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely more to the story, and we need to uncover the truth.

Now, several things wrong with this statement. Of course, she is implying that somehow the police may have been involved. The police let it happen. Either way. A very irresponsible thing to suggest, even if you're not outright suggesting it, only implying it still very irresponsible and definitely a conspiracy theory. Secondly, um, there are investigations into this. Uh, you know, we got a bipartisan panel in the House of Representatives, like people are looking into this. So don't sit there and act like we need answers. Why are things are happening? Okay? Like, chill out. I mean, the, the director of the Secret Service resigned, so they're working on it. It is not something that just happens overnight. And third, do you honestly expect any of us to give a what you think about a man you clearly don't give a about? Because that's what gets me about this. You are not saying these things because, oh, I was so worried about this poor man, you recoil when he touches you. You don't sleep in the same bedroom as him and haven't for years. You don't like him.

You expect us to believe you when you say, oh, it's terrible. Oh God almighty, I don't know what to do. Nobody's buying this crap. Except of course, the die hard Trump supporters. And that's who you're playing to. You're trying to entice these people to come and buy your stupid book. That's where this is. I don't think that she thinks there's a conspiracy. I don't think she even cares that it happened. And I also definitely don't think that she cares about the fact that nobody seems to care that it happened. She cares about selling books, and that's what she's doing. So she knows if I go out there and appeal to the crazy people, the crazy people will buy my book. So that's

What she's doing. But she does hit on a point that I'm sorry, but I gotta talk a little bit about this right now. The silence around it feels heavy. Donald Trump was almost murdered on live TV in high definition. That would've been a shocking and gruesome thing to see because there were cameras. This was being broadcast live. And by an inch and a half he survived. Good. I'm glad he survived, by the way. But it was still a harrowing experience, right? It's still a horrible thing. And nobody cares. I mean, this was two months ago, not even. And everybody's just like, whatever. It's to the point where Donald Trump has had to repost the picture on social media and be like, don't forget this happened. It's actually what they said, because nobody gives a. Can you imagine being such a horrible human being that you almost get killed on live television?
