President Trump has long been a conspiracy theorist, and he has long been prone to angry tweetstorms. On Sunday, those two things collided in a major way.
In a lengthy string of tweets and retweets before and after a Sunday morning church visit, Trump promoted conspiracy theorists and theories while airing grievances about a Fox News host who was suspended for offering a conspiracy theory about Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). He also elevated a series of sources with dubious and questionable track records
The users avatar is a Q apparently a reference to the wild QAnon conspiracy theory with a MAGA hat on top. The user has promoted both the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories. The user was also apparently happy about Trumps retweet, sharing a tweet that alleged the retweet was a St Patricks Day wink to Anons without being too obvious.

Somebody has to pull Trump aside and explain to him that he has to stop accidentally retweeting things that give credibility to these conspiracies.
He has to slow down and know who or what he is retweeting.
Washington Compost is basically accusing him of doing this deliberately!
I don’t even know where to start.
The article is so distorted and biased, it’s even beyond the pale of an opinion piece.
What conspiracies is Trump giving credibility too??
Because he re-tweeted a post from a user with a Q avatar, when the post had nothing to do with Q/Qanon??
Should he just sit on his hands and wave a white flag??
Poor WaPo. Trump talks directly to us and doesn’t call WaPo to get his message out.
Maybe they're talking about his happy st Patricks day tweet.
But he did do it deliberately, MN.
“What conspiracies is Trump giving credibility too??”
Good question. I’ve never heard of any unlike the washington’s stools ‘russia conspiracy theory’ they’ve been pumping for years now.
My money is on deliberately. Why not, when it tweaks those wankers at WaPo so acutely? Send ‘em right to the padded room making conspiracy theories of their own.
“Washington Compost is basically accusing him of doing this deliberately!

Of course it’s not deliberate! This makes Trump look like he believes and advocates crazy things. They make fun of this.
Remember back in December when Pence accidentally shared that photo of that cop with the conspiracy symbol on the button he was wearing? The media called the Trump admin and supporters crazies for a week because of that one!
STUPID PEOPLE ARE INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.
“This makes Trump look like he believes and advocates crazy things.”
Specify crazy things you refer to.

Crazy things like Hillary trafficks children. Maybe she is corrupt, but she would never hurt a child.
Crazy things like Comey and other former FBI will be arrested. They would have been arrested a long time ago by Sleepy Sessions if it ever were to happen.
There is a reason why things are called conspiracies...because they simply are not true!
HRC ??? “MAYBE she is corrupt” ??? Seriously, Dude... just MAYBE? “Would never hurt a child?” What the Hey is full term abortion? Does dismemberment hurt? Does she not support that?
??? “Crazy things like Comey and other former FBI will be arrested.” ??? Oh Not even a possibility, not ever? The statute is still open yah?

“Calling something a conspiracy theory (or someone a conspiracy theorist) is seen as an act of rhetorical violence, a way of dismissing reasonable suspicion as irrational paranoia. For deHaven-Smith(2013), the conspiracy-theory label comes with such negative baggage that applying it has the effect of dismissing conspiratorial suspicions out of hand with no discussion whatsoever
F.R. has been looking into and trying to expose Clinton and Democrat corruption since the late 1990s. From the standpoint of the left F.R. has been nothing but one long running big assed conspiracy theory!
“This makes Trump look like he believes and advocates crazy things”
Or maybe “Craaazy” Trump is acting on information he has and has a reason for doing it. (I’ll go with that!)
(Grumble) Off to do chores.
:)
“Crazy things like Hillary trafficks children.”
Ok, let’s start with this.
Show where Trump indicated he believes this happened and advocates people believe it.
“Show where Trump indicated he believes this happened and advocates people believe it.”
It’s no fair asking for evidence ‘n stuff.
Lol
That’s what the WP is implying Trump is advocating by giving winks and legitimacy to these conspiracies.
