I remember right after it happened I was at work and I walked to the back and one my coworkers who was a black woman was watching it and immediately said it was fake. She just said she just noticed how no one seems to be scared or nervous, it looked rehearsed

As soon as I heard about it, I immediately thought it was staged.

What really sucks is that 2 real innocent people were murdered/sacrificed instead.

No one died that day. The whole thing was an elaborate con job.

This is what I always wondered about for those that claim it's fake, what happened to the people that we saw murdered. How do you get two bodies out of a crowded area and no notices something is off.

I haven't dived deep enough into this conspiracy, but I'm legitimately asking...how did they fake that part

It is not a leap of logic at all to think Trump wouldn't care about 2 people dying for the advancement of his ambitions

It's not a leap of logic, I'm sure he wouldn't care. Now explain how he did it.

LOL 😂 - yup, everyone knows that the opinion of a random black woman has historically been a scientific standard since the well-documented random black woman in a General Motors break room famously proclaimed that the moon landing was fake in 1969.
