A strange moment during Trump’s rally in Michigan has caught the attention of supporters and conspiracy theorists alike. A man in a red shirt, standing behind Trump, was seen making an odd gesture, which some have interpreted as a threat. The slowed-down footage appears to show the man making a neck-slashing motion—a gesture that immediately sparked concern.

Supporters pointed out a similar incident from April where another individual reportedly made the same neck-slashing gesture before what they claim was an assassination attempt. This fueled the idea that this could be a warning or threat aimed at Trump.

However, Collin Rugg stepped in to debunk the theory, suggesting it wasn’t as sinister as it looked. “I hate to let down the conspiracy theorists, but he’s doing the ‘Rizzler’ face,” Rugg explained.

The gesture is part of a Gen Z TikTok and Instagram meme called “mewing,” where participants exaggerate their facial expressions.
The man likely saw an opportunity to grab some attention during the rally, but the debate continues to rage among those concerned for Trump’s safety.
