American actress Amanda Seales has claimed that the assassination attempt on former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump was “staged.”
According to the Associated Press, two people died after gunshots were fired at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, prompting security staff to rush the injured former president off stage.
The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks as the “subject involved” in the attempt on Trump’s life.
Despite security agencies’ confirmation of the incident, Seales expressed scepticism about its authenticity. In a video message shared on social media, she insisted the attempt was “staged,” arguing that gunshots don’t sound like “making popcorn on the stove.”

She said: “That sh*t was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of Madea Runs for President
“I lived in Harlem long enough to know gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove. Where did the bullet come from? In theatre/movies, there is something called blood pallet. You place it in your mouth, you crush it and then blood comes out.
“To be frank, Trump would not respond by raising his hand in the air where an actual attempt was made on his life.”
