Was the Paris attacks a false flag?

Created by Donald Trump to distract from his vicious remarks about the other candidates?

Or to ramp up support for his "Bomb the hell out of Syria and Iraq" statements?

Before anyone gets wound up, I know this is just crazy talk.
But we will hear shit like this, soon, from nutcases like Alex Jones and Faux "news" talking heads, blaming Obama.
Not to mention WND, Pam Geller and so many more.

Update: I used this as an example of how "crazy talk" has become mainstream, including talk radio and right-wing "news" sources.
We are going to see people on the right blame Obama for this Paris attack, I just used Trump to illustrate how absolutely stupid attacks like this are.

Update #2: Just like I thought.
"It's Obama's Hitlery's, da lib'ruls an' da Moose-lems! Alla dem!"

Update #3: More right-wingers are jumping on the hate Obama and all Muslims bandwagon, including Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter.

like they did with Charlie Hebdo, where they offered a half sentence of condemnation for the attacks and then 4 paragraphs of sociology postgrad psychobabble-laden bullshit to gripe at and blame the cartoonists, finally settling on the real enemy, namely "so-called free speech".

Those are usually the tell-tale sign that conspiracy theories will fire up (not commenting that they may be true or not, just that those are common elements).

If yes to two or more of those questions, I'd be healthily skeptical.
