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?

(1,604 posts)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.

1: Putin just loves to poison people.
2: It's as likely as any of the other theories out there.

JJ MacNab, a fellow at George Washington Universitys 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.
