According to Rolling Stone, Trump suggested that the attack on the FBI office was staged.
Ricky Shiffer was killed trying to break into the office.
There are false claims on social media that Shiffer's attack was a hoax.
According to Rolling Stone, Donald Trump thinks that one of his supporters who was shot dead trying to break into an FBI building was part of a fake flag operation.
The man who tried to enter the FBI office in Ohio was shot and killed by police.
According to The New York Times, Ricky Shiffer had been on the agency's radar for a long time.
After the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, he wrote on his Truth Social account that he was going to attack them.
According to two people cited by Rolling Stone, Trump was concerned about the man's mental health.
According to the sources, he has been telling people close to him that someone may have been trying to hurt Trump's reputation. This is a false-flag theory, according to the sources.
The idea is reminiscent of false flag claims made by Trump's online supporters.
The news spread across the far right corners of the internet. There is no evidence that Trump's conversations were affected by this.
The idea of a gathering place for people who used to frequent the banned subreddit r/The_Donald gained traction after Shiffer's attack.
Insider reported that similar claims were made across the two social media sites.
Business Insider has an article on it.
