Trump: "people in the dark shadows" are controlling Biden

Trump jumps into the deep end of conspiratorial waters, claims “people in the dark shadows” are controlling Biden






He is either losing his mind totally or stoking up chaos on purpose....

eta: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/31/trump-biden-conspiracy-theory-406729

President Donald Trump alleged unnamed people in “dark shadows” are controlling Democratic nominee Joe Biden in an interview with Laura Ingraham that aired Monday night on Fox News.

In discussing what he characterized as anarchists and thugs terrorizing American cities, Trump said, “People that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows” are pulling the strings of the Democratic nominee.

Ingraham asked the president to elaborate, saying, “That sounds like a conspiracy theory.“


Trump specified: “There are people that are on the streets, there are people that are controlling the streets.”


Just such crazy shite and people believe it.

REALLY BELIEVE I'm some liberal violence lover?" (If I've missed a word or so, I'm sorry, but I know it's close to accurate.) I think that's true. Only really RW idiots will believe any of that trash.

explicitly directed not to continue that investigation. That is directly from the soon to be published book - Trump v US Government by NYT Mike Schmidt.

She's 81 now, so I don't know if she still does any acting.

> Trump specified: “There are people that are on the streets, there are people that are controlling the streets.”

when someone specifies, i expect to see specifics. how is his quoted statement specific in any way? break it down, everything is generalization.

ok, here's me specifying: politico's editor either sucks or seeks to promote Trump even in the face of such idiocy, maybe both.
