In light of recent discussions surrounding the assassination attempt of Donald Trump and the unfounded claims suggesting it was staged, it is crucial to approach such assertions with skepticism and rationality. Conspiracy type of theories undermine and can damage the integrity of our society and also have the potential to cause division and mistrust within society.

The attempted assassination of any public figure, regardless of their political beliefs or actions is never okay and should always be considered a condemnable act that strikes at our principles not only as Americans but as human beings. Political disagreements will always exist in any society but resorting to violence is never justified.
