MSNBC host’s conspiracy theory: What if Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?
The Washington Post ^ | 4/8/2017 | Avi Selk

A volley of U.S. cruise missiles had barely been launched into Syria before the Internet filled up with fact-free theories about the real reason for an international crisis.

A popular one on the right-most fringes: The U.S. government actually carried out the chemical weapons massacre in Syria last week — a “false flag” to trick President Trump into retaliating, thus entangling himself in a foreign war.

A slightly more convoluted strain on the left: Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the chemical weapons massacre to help Trump — distracting Americans from an investigation into Trump's campaign ties to Russia by provoking the missile strike.

That theory — evidence-free — was laid out on a small anti-Trump website shortly after the missile strike.

But it went mainstream Friday night, when Lawrence O'Donnell advanced similar speculation on his MSNBC show, “The Last Word.”

The Liberal MSM all need to be in padded rooms where they can spend 24/7 playing with each other. That’s about all they’re good for, IMO.

What if Obama’s embeds in DC planned the Syrian chemical attack to set up Trump?

All of these conspiracy theories are utterly ridiculous. Have you heard the one being pushed on Twitter by Cernovich that the deep state or rebels did it? I looked into that on posted a piece on my web site, but this crappy web site knocked me off as a troll. My son had to explain to me what a troll is, that’s the kind of troll I am. Anyway, my web site is bogustimes.com and I have a couple of stories on the conspiracy theories you can check out. I’m not posting another story to be thrown off again.

Maddow needs to release more of Trumps tax returns to show he pays his taxes and paid more than Hitlery and Sanders.

And if frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their asses when they hopped. Your theory is just as stupid as the MSNBC one.

Putin’s going to have to strike back at us or face losing public support at home. The Russian public is quite pissed off.

What if Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachel Maddow conspired with Putin to plan the Syrian chemical attack so that they could claim that Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?

Well?

From reading Russian propaganda mouth pieces they think Trump designed the false flag attack event himself. If Russian leadership believes it, things will get very ugly.

These people are idiots. Per a previous UN agreement, the Russians were responsible for making sure Syria’s chemical weapons were gone. With the recent chemical attacks, regardless of how they come about, shows they failed in doing so. It makes no sense for the Russians to make themselves look bad in all this on purpose.

President Trump could be hammering the Russians right now for their failures in Syria but he is taking the high road and being a statesman, as he is trying to bring them to the table soon to work out our differences. True peace through strength policy.

"Why not just go fully crazy and ask "What if Trump and Putin planned the Syrian chemical attack to help Trump?""

That would be crazy. It's not about helping Trump. Putin and Trump gassed the children because they like to watch children suffer and die. Also Trump grabs girls' pussies, and they let him and stuff.

His UN Ambassador (who speaks for him at the UN) already called Russia out as either complicit or incompetent. The US has placed the blame squarely on Russia, and rightly so.
