Viral claims alleging Donald Trump was shot again in Washington D.C. are entirely false, stemming from unverified social media posts and misleading captions designed to generate panic and online engagement.
No official law enforcement agency, Secret Service statement, or major news organization has confirmed any new attack on the former U.S. president anywhere in the country today.
The widespread confusion incorrectly conflates these new baseless rumors with the verified 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump survived a genuine shooting incident.
