16. Wikipedia has a very thorough accounting of Jim Jones and his cult but doesn't mention this.

I couldn't find any mention of a faked assassination attempt in Wikipedia's very lengthy and thorough accounting of Jim Jones and his cult. By itself this doesn't invalidate any conspiracy theories about Trump's assassination attempts, but it does cast some suspicion on this supposed "Jim Jones Strategy".

I really doubt the assassination attempt against Trump was staged. If the Secret Service had done their job correctly, Martin68 Oct 6 #15

Fair enough, but it's curious that they let him expose his head and torso before clearing the scene Orrex Oct 6 #19

Trump is a total idiot, and the SS constantly had to struggle to protect him because he is unaware of anything other Martin68 Oct 6 #20
