Melania Goes Full Truther on Trump Assassination Bid

Melania Trump’s promotional activities for her new book took a turn for the wackadoodle Tuesday with a video in which she raised the possibility that the attempt to assassinate her husband was actually some kind of conspiracy.

“The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience,” the former first lady says in the clip. “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 this story and we need to uncover the truth.”

The brief clip released on Melania’s X ends with a message encouraging viewers to pre-order her forthcoming book, Melania. The post also contained a link to her website, where a “Collector’s Edition” of the memoir is available to buy for $250.
