FACT CHECK: Threads Post Does Not Show Authentic Medical Report From Butler Assassination Attempt

An image shared on Threads purports to show President Donald Trump’s medical report from the Pennsylvania Department of Health following the assassination attempt at his July 2024 campaign rally in Butler.

Verdict: False

The image originally stems from a satirical X account. A spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of Health denied the claim’s validity in an email to Check Your Fact.

Fact Check:

Trump referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “a dictator without elections” in a recent TRUTH Social post, according to USA Today. Trump also said Zelenskyy “was good at playing [former President] Joe Biden like a fiddle,” the outlet reported.

The Threads image, which has received over 300 likes as of writing, purports to show Trump’s medical report from the Pennsylvania Department of Health following the assassination attempt at his July 2024 campaign rally in Butler.

The purported form claims “no evidence of a bullet wound [existed]” on Trump’s body and that a medic allegedly administered Ketamine to “shut him up.” The purported form also claims Trump is on multiple medications, including Clozapine, which is used to treat schizophrenia.

“Turmp’s [sic] medical report from the Butler PA incident leaked. READ,” the image’s caption reads.

The claim is false. The image stems from X, where it was shared by user @GOPJesusUSA, which describes itself as sharing parody and satirical content. “A satirical account for the GOP’s interpretation of Jesus’s will and teachings. Half parody, half commentary, half theories,” the account’s bio reads. The image was originally shared by the account in July 2024 after the assassination attempt.

Likewise, Trump does not appear to have publicly commented on the purported medical form via his personal or government X accounts or his TRUTH Social account. The Pennsylvania Department of Health has not referenced the claim, either.

In addition, Check Your Fact did not find any credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Feb. 18, USA Today debunked the claim, tracing its origin to the same satirical X account.

Furthermore, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of Health denied the claim’s validity in an email to Check Your Fact.

“This form is a fake. The Department has not been involved with or released any report on the treatment of Mr. Trump,” the same spokesperson said.
