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.

>Trump could have staged it. Sure. When you put 'could have' in front of something you can describe any situation that isn't explicitly ruled out. Including absolutely crazy and wildly improbable scenarios that are impossible to disprove. This guy 'could have' been a clone dropped off by aliens a few days before the attack. We haven't seen anything that rules it out. This incident 'could have' not happened at all. [Maybe the devices and social media feeds of you and all of the people you socialize with are being modified as you read them creating the illusion that an event took place while the rest of the world goes on oblivious](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality). [You 'could have' not existed until this very moment when you suddenly popped into existence with your brain built in such a way as to have memories of your life that never actually happened](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain). When you use 'could have' you open the door to fantasy scenarios. So yes, it could have been staged... by extradiminsional beings for which Trump is only their 3-diminsional form.
