THE CLAIM THAT there was a second gunman involved in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump has the former President’s supporters shouting conspiracy to the four corners of America.

Secret Service agents killed one man said to be involved in the murder attempt but witnesses are now saying there was another shooter who appears to have gotten away.

“This is the grassy knoll of this election,” according to Hercules Dakota, a former US Marine who once killed an Iraqi militant with a Barret sniper rifle at five miles distance. “I was able to down a coffee while my round traveled. We actually phoned the guy seconds before it struck and said adios.”

The internet is already alive with speculation about the second Trump shooter, with X owner Elon Musk endorsing Trump after the incident. Trump fans are furious at the introduction of violence into the election by Trump opponents.

“This is an outrage against Democracy,” said Priscilla Muskrat mother of fifteen, who says she is willing to provide herself as a human shield for Trump. “First they steal the election from him, now they try to kill him.”
