The top political adviser to Democratic mega-donor Reid Hoffman suggested that the attack on Donald Trump could have been “staged,” even as Hoffman was criticized for joking before Saturday’s attack about Trump becoming a “martyr.”
Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, whose net worth is reportedly $2.5 billion, joked at last week’s billionaire confab in Sun Valley that he wished he had made Trump “an actual martyr.” Sunday, he said on X that he was referring to “accountability to the rule of law” and that he’s “horrified and saddened” by the attack.
The scale of Hoffman’s political donations isn’t public but the political adviser, Dmitri Mehlhorn, said on a recent private conference call that “Reed and I have invested nine figures of our own money to prevent Trump from getting back into office.” (The money appears to be largely Hoffman’s.)
In an email Saturday at 7:34 pm that appeared to be addressed to sympathetic journalists, and which was also sent to Semafor, Mehlhorn wrote that one “possibility -- which feels horrific and alien and absurd in America, but is quite common globally -- is that this ‘shooting’ was encouraged and maybe even staged so Trump could get the photos and benefit from the backlash. This is a classic Russian tactic, such as when Putin killed 300 civilians in 1999 and blamed it on terrorists to ride the backlash to winning power. Others who have embraced this tactic of committing raw evil and then benefitting from the backlash include Hamas on October 7. If any Trump officials encouraged or knew of this attack, that is morally horrific, and Republicans of decency must demand that Trump step down as unfit.”

Christian-hating atheist jews are the “brains” and “financiers” of today’s democrat party. White-hating racist blacks are the “muscle.”
Too late. It was linkedin was bought by Microsoft years ago.
The idea is laughable on its face.
Staged by an alphabet agency.
If it would fit I’d replace my tagline.
We Patriots need to unsubscribe to Linkedin. The owner is SCUM.
Smart enough to make billions. Dumb enough to embarrass himself publicly.
Just did! And I posted a segment from this article in my reason for leaving.
Same here.
Any person that says it staged should be investigated by the state police. Not feds
Revelation 3: 9.
Linkedin was always creepy data mining.
I refused to respond to anyone who tried to contact me using it.
Trump knows Biden tried to assassinate him. I’ll tell you that.
“I realized when LinkedIn first came out, that the people who were most enthusiastic about it were all people I considered to be arseholes.”
some years back i did some IT work for an attorney and he was enthusing about linkedin and how i should really, really, really join up ... when i asked him if he had gotten any new business as a consequence of being on linkedin, he said “No” ... end of story ...
“Any person that says it staged should be investigated by the state police. Not feds”
And here we apply the line from Carl Sagan (?).
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
If you’re going to claim a false flag, you better have some serious evidence.
[Get off LinkedIn]
And I know this guy, used to be awesome, he’s a truly sad alcoholic now. Used to be a terrific guy.
He was yelling at me to get on LinkedIn last night again - he has for years now, though it won’t help me at this point in my career (it wouldn’t help me in 2008 as the economy was crashing).
He’s O.K. on a few things then he goes off into ridiculous areas full of nonsense and cannot be convinced otherwise - often goes into 3-5-20 minute rants of pure craziness.
1) The Earth is flat.
2) The Sun revolves around the Earth.
3) NASA knows all about this and is purposely tricking us, always using fish-eye lens to make the Earth appear curved.
4) (and last night) The Devil’s Tower is actually a tree stump (no, I didn’t get the full story on that one).
5) The Devil knows that the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around the Earth and those of us who don’t know that will miss the Rapture because we rejected the notion that the Earth is flat and....I don’t know the twisted “logic” (good!).
6) The nation of Israel is going to get wiped out because there’s a difference between Israel and the Jew so when Iran was attacking and Israel hit back he was expecting Israel to be destroyed (20-minute rant on how Jews were going to be responsible for blowing up the world).
And on and on and on he goes. I used to think he was doing it to get a “certifiable” diagnosis to stay out of prison for the multiple DUI convictions (he’s only been in city / county lockups).
Now I’m starting to believe that decades of alcohol abuse have so damaged his brain that he’s incapable of rational truth. He’s only in his mid-50’s but I think he’s been a hard drinker for close to 40 years.
It’s all very bizarre.
