Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer promoted baseless theories Sunday about the apparent attack on Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton — claims that collapsed almost immediately once details about the alleged attacker began to emerge.

Acton’s spokesperson claimed that the Democratic hopeful was “lunged at” by an armed attacker “injuring multiple people” while attending the Canfield Fair near Youngstown. Less than an hour after Acton’s campaign broke the news, Loomer suggested the incident was staged, later questioning whether Democrats were “trying to pull a fast one on Ohio voters.”

Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton was attacked by an “armed individual” Sunday while attending the Canfield Fair near Youngstown, her campaign spokesperson claimed in a statement published on social media.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to make a startling admission regarding the tens of thousands of stock trades he’s made during his second term, insisting that they were done for the "country," not himself.

“I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Very unfair, but what can you do!”
