Plies is sharing his skepticism following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. 

Numerous baseless conspiracy theories have swirled online, with some netizens claiming the entire incident was staged. In his post, Plies questioned why Trump’s physician hasn’t made a public statement about his injuries. Plies also questioned why Donald Trump is not courting media attention like the rapper expected him to do in the wake of the incident. In the chaos that followed the attempted assassination, reports surfaced that Trump was not grazed by a bullet but instead was cut by a piece of glass from his shattered teleprompter.  However, those reports went unconfirmed, and Trump later said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” 

The 20-year-old suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sniper at the scene. One bystander was killed by bullets that missed Trump, while two others were critically injured.
