The cast of characters being promoted by the president is quite something.

By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow March 18 at 10:05 AM 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.

— Donald J. Trump March 17, 2019 The tweet: “So it was indeed ‘last in his class’ John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed . Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox .....

Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country.

Instead of calling it a conspiracy theory, why not ask POTUS about QAnon? The fact of the matter is that there is a conspiracy, McCain was a part of it and oh so much more, and the media is complicit!WakeUpAmerica Why was McCainInSyria2013? maybe he was ‘just chillin?’

He's a bit late with his Airing Of Grievances, Festivus was months ago. 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow 25thAmendmentNow

I don't know ? Seams like they are coming true

Is he tweeting about Russian collusion again?

The man literally has nothing productive to do. His “executive” time is the laughing stock-in-trade of his vacation in the White House.

I’m so glad to hear that his supporters are boycotting FOX news. They will get to hear the truth from the other stations

I’m wondering if he wanders around the White House wearing his tin foil hat.

WHYYYYY(?) are MSM outlets giving ODIOUS OCCUPANT OF OVAL OFFICE such HUGE platform for INFANTILE Twitter rants? Anyone interested in his bullsh*t propaganda can easily hop on Twtr &view for themselves. Seems blasting all over CNN MSNBC just excuse 2b journalistically LAZY!!

Bezos blog was a main purveyor of the Trump Putin collusion conspiracy theory

Why was Luke Perry the one who had to have a massive stroke and die quickly? WorstPresidentEver

This is not a well person. He should not be in charge of anything.

He’s so so afraid now, I’m practicing Frank Sinatra’s hit song. That orange jumpsuit looks very good on him though.😸

It's only a conspiracy theory to those who are blind or stupid🤷‍♀️ he's telling you all what he believes in and no one is stopping him from promoting his nasty sneaky ways☹ impeach him for his hate towards our country🌹 he believes we're all to stupid to get rid of the scum bag

These headlines....🤦‍♀️. He didn't 'elevate' anything' He sunk us lower.

I get mad at myself when I realize how much time and energy I sometimes put into tweeting, and I’m a stay at home Dad. This guy is the leader of the free world... That makes me feel better and far worse at the same time.

Look at this clown's face. I ask, Is this a face of an American president. 🤡

WaPo is a mouth piece for CIA. The ensuing FISA declass, tribunals going public and videos of interrogations at gitmo will prove the conspiracies do exist.

Misery loves company.

angry_gram Dangerous and irresponsible

His lies and rhetoric keeps getting called out. He can't afford to have his base start learning the TRUTH!! Truth is Trumps real enemy.

Well, Pompeo IS his SoS and started Q so...

Oh no!!, dont look here, look over there.

just a normal Sunday

And on the same day he goes to church...I might b uncharitable but in does seem a bit hypocritical....then again, he is the Anti-Christ

Trump is not a well educated man, but what he knows, he knows well. What he knows best is how to protect & expand his brand. Doesn't matter if he believes that bullshit or not - he's put out a mating call to those who do, and they'll flock to him. lemmings ITMFA

What happened to the Dutch Muslim shooter story? Bury it?

Wow just like what WaPo does all the time

Aye, but you have to balance that with him being a complete imbecile and all that...

realDonaldTrump man child having another temper tantrum! Kicking and screaming like a child. I agree with gtconway3d, unfit to be president, and is just getting worse.

We cannot let this be the new normal. Keep calling out the lies and deception..both on him and his internet troll followers.

WorstPresidentEver

Analysis: This is not normal.

You mean “racist theories and racists.”

We're just not used to seeing her without her stripper shoes. That's why she seemed to move differently.
