Caroline Levitt’s big claim
According to media reports, Caroline Levitt recently said in a statement, “Trump is fully prepared. His speech will be fun and entertaining. Some shots will also be fired tonight, so everyone should watch.” Here "shots fired" It was meant as a political jibe or sharp attack.
When asked if he wrote the speech, Levitt responded that Trump wrote most of it himself. But shortly after the statement, news of firing outside the hall came. After this people started looking at his words from a different perspective.
People raised questions on social media
As soon as Levitt’s video went viral, a lot of speculation started on social media. Some users raised questions about whether Levitt had prior knowledge of the incident. An ex-user wrote, “How come he talked about the shooting in advance?”
In some posts it was even called a “false flag”. That is, the user asked whether Trump himself got himself attacked. Another user wrote, “Caroline Levitt asked everyone to watch tonight because Donald Trump will heat up the atmosphere, and there will be bullets. Was this planned in advance to gain political advantage?”
There was firing during dinner
It is noteworthy that during President Trump’s Correspondents’ Dinner, a person was trying to enter inside with a gun and a knife. He was heading towards the ballroom when the US Secret Service stopped him. According to American media agencies, Donald Trump is completely safe.
After this incident, Vice President JD Vance was taken out first. Agents surrounded Trump and Melania Trump and took them to a safe place. At present the investigating agencies are investigating the entire matter. Levitt’s statement is being considered a metaphor, but the controversy has increased due to the timing.
