Washington (QNN)- Social media posts that belong to the suspected gunman at the Washington press dinner, who tried to assassinate Donald Trump, showed hostility toward pro-Palestine protesters, compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and encouraged others critical of his presidency to purchase guns, according to several reports reviewing two social media accounts that appear to belong to him.
According to CNN, the accounts linked to Cole Tomas Alle shifted in recent years from posts about video games to political views.
The postings also echo arguments in a message Allen sent family members before the attack that laid out a plan to target Trump administration officials and expressed anger at their actions.
These details, based on posts, as well as information taken from multiple electronic devices seized over the past few days, show Allen’s “animosity” towards Trump and his administration, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN.
A senior Justice Department official confirmed to CNN that Allen used the X account handle “CForce3000.” The account has been taken offline, but CNN reviewed more than 4,000 posts that are saved on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
CNN also reviewed more than 700 archived posts from the now-offline @coldforce.bsky.social account on the social media network Bluesky. That account also appears to belong to Allen based on biographical details it posted that matched Allen’s life, as well as the similar username and content posted on the X account. In the message Allen allegedly sent family members, he signed off with the nickname “coldForce.”
By 2024, archived tweets show him resharing political content from other users. Allen repeatedly retweeted posts on X comparing Trump to Hitler, as well as a post advocating for nullifying that year’s election results. In the wake of the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Allen retweeted posts speculating that the attack could have been staged.
Allen appears to have started posting on the Bluesky social media platform in February 2025, a few weeks into Trump’s second term. That account frequently criticized the Trump administration’s policies and lamented that more powerful figures weren’t taking action against the president.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a press conference with other Justice Department officials Monday that investigators are probing any connection Allen may have had to left wing groups.
Also, according to newly resurfaced tweets from Cole Allen circulating on social media reveal he hated Hasan Piker, the "Far Left", and pro-Palestine protestors.

He also slammed Arab voters in Dearborn, Michigan who didn't vote for Kamala Harris over the genocide in Gaza.
