You know the conspiracy theories are going to start popping up

who are they going to blame for infecting Trump a month before the election? Bill and Hillary, George Soros, Bill Gates? All of them in a diabolical plot?

I've often had my suspicion that if George Soros had done even a tenth of what he's alleged to have done by conspiracy theorists, he'd be a pauper several times over.

The irony is that there are actually a number of billionaires that do support the Democrats on a regular basis, yet the CTs seldom if ever bring them up with the possible exception of Bill Gates. They need their Satans.

A few of these self-unaware idiots are even wondering why it's just these Repukes that are getting it (without connecting the dots showing that we are wearing masks, but they have decided that masks are some type of infringement on some imagined rights they have to infect everyone else).

Some are pretty bizarre - including one that postulates that a worker at the debate must have had a spray bottle with the virus in it and they sprayed the tRump area.

The Infowars morons are suspecting that Trump's mic got pre-infected at the debate. That's just one of the batshit insane theories floating around right now.

he knows tRump is going to lose the election and is worried that he might squeal on him! Two reasons for this CT:
1: Putin just loves to poison people.
2: It's as likely as any of the other theories out there.

9. White supremacists: Trump tested positive for COVID-19 because he's too close to Jews

Some white supremacists are saying Trump’s willingness to cater to Jews and be close to them is the reason he tested positive for COVID-19 diagnosis, according to extremist social media posts and the experts who track such sentiment on the internet.

JJ MacNab, a fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, tweeted summaries of how each far-right group is responding to the news:




Some users claimed the illness was “karma for choosing the Jews over the goyim” and “a deliberate effort by the kikes.”

On 4chan, users wrote that Jews told Trump to announce his illness a month before the election in order to sabotage him.
