Trump does this act because there are millions of people who believe in some conspiracy and he wants their vote.

That's why. That simple. So when he retweeted the Seal team conspiracy he just says "I just put it out there".
He, if any of what is being posted is true which I doubt, declined because he didn’t have time to give for ridiculous stories

It's 11:28 PM, Central.
Has Trump disavowed White supremacy at any time during the last 30 minutes? ..... If not, why not!?

I heard Hunter Biden has COVID and is in a coma...

Trump retweeted Qanon who said that they (the Seals) didn't really kill Bin Laden and that Obama/Biden had Seal Team 6 killed to keep it quiet. His retweet was addressed in his town hall meeting where he said he retweeted it so people could "make up their own minds".

Roll your eyes all you want but the fact is that your leader is passing along crazy conspiracy tripe.

The problem is, we cannot trust ONE SINGLE word that comes from EITHER side of this!


Was the Bin Laden killing 'staged' to increase Obamas popularity? Who knows, its certainly possible...Would Trump lie about whether it was true or not? YES sir!

They are not crazy. They are mainstream. In this country it's socially acceptable to say "god spoke to me". As long as it's the Jesus type god. Even if you don't believe in god it's ok to conform. Trump has no monopoly on crazy. You should hear some of the nonsense I hear from apathetic Leftists who magically think that the rights they enjoy now didn't come at a hefty price ..

This is a real question for all of you.

Billions are spent every year researching how to influence the American consumer. This also includes ideas and politics. The human mind is easily influenced . We all think we are smart and saavy but we make decisions every day that are influenced by people far smarter than we are.

Do you think you are smarter than the social scientists and think tanks that have figured out that conspiracy stuff works on the American voter?

For example. I can know a tactic works but make a moral choice not to employ that tactic on you. I give credit to the right. They will use whatever tactic they can to win. And winning is all that matters.

There are many Trump supporters in all parts of the country and many walks of life. It is sad that Far Leftists whom are now mainstream Democrats have to try to make silly generalizations and demonize good people. Sad and pathetic. It's the same posters, over and over again. It just shows their pathology.

"Conspiracy stuff" works on right wing voters because they want to believe anything bad that can be conjured up by the people who are "smarter then we are" regarding their political opponents.

And any news that is bad or unflattering about their team is "fake news" or a "nothing burger" regardless of the veracity of the claim.
