I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

    Who made millions off the Polymarket bet that Trump would have an assassination attempt again?

          You’re as bad as a redcap, spreading disinformation because it “wouldn’t surprise you”

            Look into prediction markets and how they evaluate the outcome of bets, it’s all entirely manipulated by 0.01% of its users because you can literally buy the outcome. This is not only possible, it is staggeringly more likely than not.

            Some more news just did an episode on this shit, everybody should watch it. Prediction markets are just another way for the 0.01% to fuck everyone yet again.

        He’s not a journalist, he’s not “reporting facts” on lemmy. He’s saying it wouldn’t be surprised if someone DID place a bet, like the special forces guy who got arrested for a polymarket bet. Maybe try to chill for a second.

          Then my eyes can only roll further into the back of my head as this platform degenerates into Q level conspiracies based feelings rather than facts.
