Yes, it must be staged. As we all know, our President typically never tries to exploit situations for his own benefit and often observes a period of quiet contemplation before addressing issues in a calm, selfless, and reasonable manner. The fact that he's out here shamelessly trying to use this situation to push agenda items while relentlessly posting on social media is strong evidence! /s This conspiracy nonsense is getting old, live in reality not in a fact-free world of made up stories which confirm your own biases. If you want that there's plenty of room in MAGA/QANON/AntiVaxxer/Contrails/FlatEart land.

A conspiracy is just a group of people deciding to do something in secret. They do, in fact, happen all the time.

More than one thing can be true. Trump could have staged it. He could be taking advantage of the situation to push an agenda. Both can be true at the same time. The reason so many people are quick to believe is because Trump has a history of projection where he accuses other people of doing things that he himself would or has done. And Trump and his followers have accused so many others of false flag or staged events. *CONSTANTLY* So when you have a history of a guy who's face shows up under "psychological projection" in the dictionary, constantly accusing others of things, you can credibly believe that he would do those things himself. I'm not saying this was a staged event, and I have no idea of the reality. But I 100% believe this is a thing he would do.
