Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from Los Angeles, has been identified as the alleged shooter at the White House correspondents' dinner where President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were present.
As more information emerges on the suspect, several bizarre claims have begun to do the rounds as well.
One springs from a 2023 X post, which bizarrely just mentions 'Cole Allen'. The post, from one Henry Martinez, was made on December 22, three years back, and has now gained immense traction after the shooting incident.
This has put Martinez's profile under the scanner as well, which in turn has sparked 'time travel' theories.
Henry Martinez's post has over 33.2 million views now. It has sparked considerable interest in who the person is. Not much is known about Martinez from his profile, except that he has a Pepe frog as his cover photo.
Conspiracy theories have even linked the bowtie-wearing frog to President Trump's appearance at the dinner.
That said, it is the cover photo on Martinez's profile that has drawn all the attention. Many users on X have claimed that if they tinker with the image the form that appears resembles Trump's now-iconic photo with the pumped up fist after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The reference to Time Machine sparked time travel conspiracy theories, which indicated that Martinez knew back in 2023 that Allen would try the shooting incident.
However, there is nothing to back this bizarre claim. In fact, Time Machine has nothing to do with time travel and more to do with preserving history.
