In just three days, the American people will find out who the next president-elect will finally be. After a year and a half of endless campaigning, either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will make preparations to move into the White House.

Nevada chaos

After Trump made his offical campaign announcement, not too many people took him as a serious candidate for president. After months on the campaign trail, Trump proved himself as a legitimate contender, culminating by winning the Republican nomination at the GOP convention this past July. Trump has appealed to the majority of white conservatives, but has struggled to expand his support to minority voting blocs.

Despite his challenges, the billionaire real estate mogul is only within two points of Clinton's national lead, and made his way to Nevada on Saturday night. As CBS reported on November 5, Trump was rushed off stage by his Secret Service agents after a supporter accused a protester of having a gun.

Trump was mid-sentence when two Secret Service agents grabbed the billionaire real estate mogul and rushed him to the back. The protester was making his way near the stage before being apprehended by the authorities and taken out of the area.

Despite reports from right-wing news outlets like Info Wars claiming the protester was an "assassin," the authorities found no weapon. TIME magazine noted that the crowd simply "overreacted" to the chaos, after a Trump supporter falsely claimed she saw the man carrying a gun.

Social media backlash

As Trump supporters and other right-wing outlets accused Clinton and liberals of trying to "assassinate" Trump, others had a different theory.

Knowing Trump is behind in the polls, Twitter users were quick to accuse Trump of staging the incident in an attempt to gain sympathy from undecided voters. "Why do I feel that this was staged?," one Twitter user wrote, with another adding "you mean staged event!!"

Another staged event by Donald Trump if that was an assignation attempt I really don't think Secret Service would casually walk on like that — Nick Hanshaw (@nickhanshaw) November 6, 2016

"Another staged event by Donald Trump if that was an assignation attempt I really don't think Secret Service would casually walk on like that," a fellow Twitter user wrote.

The backlash continued, as even more allegations of a staged event were tweeted as the night went on.

WOW! DONALD TRUMP RUSHED OFF STAGE AT RALLY, LOOKS STAGED TO ME AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. DID HE GIVE THE SECRET SERVICE HIS QUE? STAGED!!! — Brenda Russell (@blaccaso) November 6, 2016

As of press time, there is no evidence to suggest that the event was staged, and all reports currently believe it was an unfortunate incident that got out of hand. This isn't the first time that Trump was forced off stage by Secret Service, as a similar incident occurred during the primary season, while some of his other rallies have been home to various forms of violence.
