People have crazy new conspiracy theory regarding mysterious woman who ‘acted strangely’ while present at Trump’s attempted assassination
The internet has been going wild over the new conspiracy theory
People have a bizarre conspiracy theory about a woman who was present during Donald Trump’s assassination attempt.
On Saturday, July 13, the former US president was speaking on stage at a rally in Pennsylvania when gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks – who was hiding on a roof 150 meters away – fired several shots in his direction.
Trump managed to tilt his head at just the right moment, meaning the bullet grazed his right ear.
Following the scary ordeal, Trump could be seen ducking down behind the lectern, before he was rushed off stage by his security team.
Tragically, two other people were critically injured during the incident and one man, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, died.
Since the incident, people across the world have been analysing footage which has been emerging online.

One clip shows a woman standing to Trump’s left as the shooting unfolded. But instead of ducking, panicking or even trying to flee the scene, people have noted how she appeared totally relaxed amidst the chaos.
It’s important to note that none of us truly know how we would have reacted in that situation.
But despite this, the internet has been going wild, with people even believing the woman to be FBI assistant director, Janeen DiGuiseppi.
Some even suggested she ‘nodded’ just moments before Crooks opened fire.
The outlandish theory has been debunked by both experts and the FBI.
“The allegations circulating on social media about an FBI executive and the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania are categorically false,” a FBI spokesman told the Mail Online.
“To be clear, the person depicted is not her and she did not attend the rally. The men and women of the FBI work tirelessly and selflessly to protect others every day, and false rumors and conspiracy theories targeting these dedicated public servants are reprehensible and irresponsible.
“They are also dangerous and often lead to threats against them and their families. The FBI will continue to work with our partners to hold accountable anyone who makes violent threats against them or any of our colleagues in law enforcement.”
Meanwhile, Shayan Sardarizadeh – a BBC misinformation specialist – has also rubbished the claims on social media.
“A new conspiracy theory, currently racking up millions of views, baselessly claims that a female supporter seen behind Trump when he got shot is assistant director of the FBI’s insider threat office Janeen DiGuiseppi, who was helping the shooted,” he said.
“Those are two different women.”
As the speculation unfolds, political commentator Candace Owens shared a podcast episode on Friday (19 July) evening, which debunked the theory.
Candace claimed she has verified the identity of the woman, explaining she is a private citizen and so will not be releasing her identity, but confirming it is not Janeen DiGuiseppi.
UNILAD has reached out to the FBI for comment.

Trump has now given his first major speech following last weekend’s assassination attempt.
Reflecting on the near-fatal day for the former president, Trump told crowds: “It was a warm, beautiful day in the early evening in Butler Township in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
He continued, as per Sky News: “Behind me and to the right was a large screen that was displaying a chart of border crossings under my leadership.
“In order to see the chart, I started to turn to my right, and was ready to begin a further turn, which I’m lucky I didn’t, when I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me, really hard, on my right ear.”
🚨BREAKING: @RealCandaceO confirms the identity of the woman sitting behind Donald Trump during his assassination attempt. It is a private citizen so she decided against releasing her name. It is NOT FBI Assistant Director Janeen Diguiseppi.
He continued: “I said to myself, ‘Wow, what was that – it can only be a bullet,’ and moved my right hand to my ear, brought it down, and my hand was covered with blood.
“I immediately knew it was very serious, that we were under attack, and in one movement, proceeded to drop to the ground.”
Trump further explained that there was ‘blood pouring everywhere’, but he still felt safe because he ‘has God on his side’.
“The amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if I had not moved my head at the very last instant, the assassin’s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark, and I would not be here tonight,” he continued.

Trump says ‘God alone’ saved him from death following attempted assassination
The former president of the United States says the ‘unthinkable’ was prevented from happening
Donald Trump has credited ‘God alone’ with saving him in a new statement after he survived an assassination attempt on July 13.
The former president of the United States was struck in the ear while giving a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday (13 July).
Two attendees were critically injured, and one, identified by authorities as Corey Comperatore, passed away
Shortly after the incident, Trump released an initial statement on Truth Social thanking the United States Secret Service and law enforcement present for their quick response on the scene. He also extended his condolences to all those affected by the shooting.
In a second statement released on Truth Social on 14 July, Trump shared that ‘it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening’.
The 45th President of the United States went on to say: “We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.
“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”
“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win.”
“I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”

Trump confirmed earlier that the bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear, describing that he ‘immediately’ knew that something was wrong after hearing the sound of shots and feeling the bullet ‘ripping’ through his skin.
His team has since clarified that he is doing ‘fine’ after the shooting.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have also both released statements condemning the attack.
Writing on Twitter on Saturday, President Biden shared that he’s ‘grateful to hear that [Trump’s] safe and doing well’.

“I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information,” he added.
“Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”
The FBI has since identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. He was shot dead by Secret Service counter-snipers within seconds of the attack.

New graphic of Trump assassination attempt shows how close he really was to dying
A staggering graphic has revealed Donald Trump was ‘inches’ from death, following his attempted assassination
A staggering graphic has been released showing just how close Donald Trump was to a catastrophic brain injury.
The former president Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt on Saturday (July 13), after he was shot in the upper part of his ear.
But a new graphic has been released which shows just how different the situation could have been, if he didn’t turn his head at just the right moment.
The 78-year-old was at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, fired multiple bullets at him from a nearby roof.
Crooks was quickly shot by the Secret Service after the incident.

One person in the crowd wasn’t as lucky as the former president, however, as 50-year-old Corey Comperatore died after attempting to shield his wife and two daughters from the gunshots.
Two other men were critically injured in the ordeal, but are said to now be in a ‘stable condition’.
After seeing a graphic of how close the bullet was to going through Trump’s head, people are saying ‘God was on his side’ after a last minute head tilt likely saved his life.
The graphic shows a bird-eye-view of his head, showing exactly where the bullet was going until Trump tilted his head towards a screen to the side of him, consequently saving his life.
New video shows trajectory of bullet as Trump turned his head.
People on X couldn’t believe how miniscule the difference was, one said: “It’s actually really crazy to think that just by turning his head it actually saved his life.”
Another said: “We would be living in a whole new different timeline right now.”
Writing an emotional tribute on social media following the assassination attempt, the Republican presidential candidate said: “We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.
“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families.
“We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”

Trump has now been seen following the tragic attack at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, wearing a bandage on the ear that had been fired at.
He received a roar of applause from the crowd, who chanted ‘fight’ as the former president did following the shooting.
Republican senator Tim Scott of South Carolina said of the attack: “If you didn’t believe in miracles before Saturday, you better be believing right now.
“A devil came to Pennsylvania holding a rifle, but a lion got back on his feet and he roared.”

New images show where bullet could have hit if Trump didn’t move in assassination attempt
A diagram has revealed what could’ve happened had Donald Trump not ‘moved his head’ slightly at the Pennsylvanian rally
A diagram has revealed what could’ve happened if Donald Trump hadn’t turned his head slightly at the Pennsylvanian rally.
On Saturday (13 July), the former president of the US was rushed off stage mid-speech at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after gunshots rang out – one bullet hitting Trump in the ‘upper part’ of his right ear.
And an image has since revealed just how different the situation may’ve been for Trump had he not ‘moved his head’ slightly at that specific moment.
Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social shortly after the incident with his recollection of events.
He wrote: “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
However, Trump may’ve not been around to ‘bless’ America any longer had he not ‘moved his head’ at the very last minute before the shots were fired, a rally attendee named Vanessa told NBC News.
She recalled: “He was talking about his chart and he moved his head to the right to explain where they’re at in the chart. But as he moved his head to look at the chart up on the screen that’s when he got grazed in the ear.”
And a diagram has since revealed just how much of a near-miss it really was.

Shared to Twitter by a user called Sovereign Brah, the image shows two heads with their brains visible.
The lower image shows the pathway of a bullet whizzing past the head titled ‘With Trump’s head movement’ – the bullet grazing the top of the right ear.
The upper image shows what would’ve happened ‘Without Trump’s head movement’ and shows the bullet’s pathway going into the top right of the head and through the brain too.
It’s important to note the diagram isn’t a forensic reconstruction and so it’s unknown exactly what difference the movement made, however, Trump is still thanking ‘luck or God’ for him moving his head slightly at that exact moment.
It blows my mind how narrowly Trump escaped death. Watch the replay. He turned his head 0.3 seconds before impact.
Trump told conservative US media, as quoted by The Telegraph: “That reality is just setting in. The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn [my head] but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount.
“I’m supposed to be dead, I’m not supposed to be here.”

Twitter Reminisces On Trump’s ‘Greatest Hits’ As Musk Says He Will Undo Ban
Elon Musk says he’ll remove Donald Trump’s Twitter ban, so here’s some of the classics
After Elon Musk announced that he’ll reinstate Donald Trump to Twitter when he officially becomes the social media company’s owner, it seems as if some folks can’t wait to have The Donald back and have been reminiscing about some of his ‘greatest hits’ on the platform.
Trump was suspended after the events surrounding his supporters’ attack on the Capitol Building after his election loss to Joe Biden.
Twitter decided enough was enough, suspending Trump and therefore removing some of the weirdest and wackiest tweets in chequered history of the platform in the process.
Well, if he wants to come back, he’s now welcome once again, with Musk saying: “Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots or spam, scam accounts.
“I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump.
“I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”
He added: “I would reverse the permanent ban. I don’t own Twitter yet.
“So this is not like a thing that will definitely happen, because what if I don’t own Twitter?”
“I think permanent bans just fundamentally undermine trust in Twitter as a town square where everyone can voice their opinion.
“I think it was a morally bad decision [to ban him] and foolish in the extreme.”
Anyway, the news that Trump could be headed back has some on Twitter in mischievous mood, with many piping up with some of their favourite quotes from the former president’s time online.
For example, who could forget: “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest – and you all know it!
“Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault”
Or what about: “Every time I speak of the haters and losers I do so with great love and affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born f***ed up!”
That’s before we’ve even arrived at the whole ‘covfefe’ thing.
Others have shared The Donald’s unique take on Robert Pattinson’s relationship with Kristen Stewart, which for some reason he had a lot to say about, and his thoughts on the topless photographs taken of the Duchess of Cambridge that landed a magazine in some serious hot water.
Anyway, this is just a selection of Donald classics, and if Elon holds true to his word, we’ll soon have every single one of Trump’s toilet thoughts once again, beamed straight to us from the gilded throne at Mar a Lago.
