WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump unleashed an especially intense barrage of Twitter messages over the weekend, embracing fringe conspiracy theories claiming that the coronavirus death toll has been exaggerated and that street protests are actually an organized coup d’état against him.
“According to the mainstream media, the riots & extreme violence are completely unorganized,” the tweet said. “However, it appears this coup attempt is led by a well funded network of anarchists trying to take down the President.” Accompanying it was an image of a promo for a segment titled: “America Under Siege: The Attempt to Overthrow President Trump.”
Twitter deleted one of the tweets that Trump reposted advancing this claim, replacing it with a message: “This Tweet is no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules.” For his part, Biden issued a statement condemning the violence in Portland as “unacceptable” regardless of one’s political views and criticizing Trump for trying to raise the temperature rather than lower it.
A post-convention bounce is typical in presidential years but it does not always last, and an ABC News-Ipsos poll showed that Trump did nothing to improve his own standing with voters, only 31% of whom reported a favorable view, roughly the same as before the Republican convention.
Trump&his enablers can only survive on conspiracy theories and lies just like their demagogue leader Trump himself. In Trump's world, if you repeat a lie enough times, the lie becomes the truth. Likewise, if the truth is not to the demagogue's liking, the truth becomes fake news.
I’m shocked 🙄
