Actor sparks outrage after sharing theory to why she believes Trump's attempted assassination was 'fake'

An actor has sparked outrage after sharing a theory as to why she believes Donald Trump's attempted assassination was 'fake'.

Unless you've been living under a rock over the weekend, then you'll know Trump survived an assassination attempt.

The suspected shooter, who has since been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Footage of the incident has been widespread on social media as the sound of gunshots rang out.

Before he was escorted to a waiting SUV, the man who hopes to be back in the White House next year raised his fist in the air and appeared to repeatedly mouth the word 'fight' to the crowd. Admittedly, this is pretty strange reaction to being shot at but this is Donald Trump, after all.

Reports from investigators have claimed to Associated Press that eyewitnesses saw an officer climbing a ladder to confront a man on a roof believed to be Crooks.

Officials added that when the gunman pointed a rifle at the officer, they retreated back down a ladder.

Shots rang out just moments later, some of which grazed Trump's ears, leaving him bleeding but not seriously injured.

One member of the audience was killed in the attack, while two others were critically injured.

HBO's Insecure actor Amanda Seales has posted a theory about the attack on social media, claiming it was all staged.

In a video posted on X, Seales said: "That s**t was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of Madea Runs for President.

"I lived in Harlem long enough to know that gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove."

The actor added: "Where did the blood come from? So in theater, in movies they have what's called blood pellets. People use them for Halloween.

"It's basically a pellet of fake blood that's in your mouth and when you crush it the blood comes out.

"To be frank, small hands Trump would not respond by raising his fist in the air triumphantly were an actual attempt made on his life.

"This was, I believe done to try to show his strength counter to Biden's fragility."

UNILAD has reached out to Seales for comment.

Trump's aides later confirmed he was 'fine'.

Part of the statement from his team reads: "I want to thank the United States Secret Service and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured."
