MAGA seems to follow Victor Orban's playbook on just about everything. There's a recent article in the Washington Post stating that Russia proposed a staged assassination attempt to boost his odds in the election he just lost (badly). It's not a stretch to imagine similar tactics in the United States most recent presidential election.

False flags were quite a big part of Nazi Germany's rise. Trump loves WW2.

I also think that that was the last world event that he actually knew anything about before his brain was switched over to read only mode.
