Donald Trump posted or reposted 89 messages between 5:49 am and 8:04 am on Sunday, embracing conspiracy theories the coronavirus death toll has been exaggerated and that street protests are actually an organised coup against him.
US 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 organised coup d’état against him.
One of the most incendiary messages was a retweet of a program from the One America News Network, a pro-Trump channel that advances extreme theories and that the president has turned to when he feels that Fox News has not been supportive enough. “According to the mainstream media, the riots & extreme violence are completely unorganised,” the tweet said.
