Trump offers batshit insane conspiracy theory on 75-year-old protester (he was ANTIFA trying to jam police radio equipment)

From this article:
Basically, Republican social circles are Republican politicians' entire world. It's not just their job they'd lose. It also means no more invitations to parties or fundraisers or any other events with access to influential people or sources of wingnut wellfare. The "friends" they had before (see the friendship between McCain and Graham) would feel they can't afford to be seen with them anymore. Basically, they'd be considered "unclean" and few Republicans are willing to risk permanent harm to their social life for a temporary scandal-of-the-week that'll be forgotten by most folks a month later.
Trust me, each and every one of those senators has a staffer who keeps a very close eye on Trump's Twitter feed and gives them a quick "guess what, boss, it's "avoid reporters and run for the elevators"-day again. Or in other words, tuesday." call whenever Trump shits the bed. Believing they're truly unaware is naïve.
didn't cuomo say just 5 days ago that nypd weren't actually brutalizing any protesters
Of course they will. It's the biggest and the most dangerous cult in US history.
He did. Fuck Cuomo.
I'm already seeing braindead morons trumpet this conspiracy theory as fact on social media. And their source of proof? Well it's Trump's tweet obviously.
I hate this fucking country and most of the assholes in it so God damn much at this point. It's a fucking cartoon of a country ran by morons who were elected by idiots.

Is this the first time fuckface's tweets have gotten ratioed? Seems like his cult always give it more than enough likes to avoid it.
Jonathan Swan @jonathanvswanPOTUS aides and campaign constructed this week around getting him into the conversation around rebuilding / recovering, listening to ideas about police reform, etc. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1270333484528214018 …

even before Trump tweets Facebook was full of conspiracy theories about the poor elder, from fake blood to beyond. Fuck those people, fuck Trump and fuck Zuckerberg.
Good! No New York Time coverage ?considering this happened in New York.This is starting to gain traction in the actual real news media.

To the best of my knowledge they are not an actual replacement. But I would not be surprised if there was a connection of some sort. They both work in conspiracies and wear a lot of the same hats.
I mean to be fair yes, but he also essentially doxed this guy at the same time.
I really hope Trump goes ahead with plans to address the nation about the riots and race relations.
I can almost picture his aides pushing him and him saying "fine, fine" and then their faces the next morning when he goes on another rampage.
Let his bunker bitch ass keep on doubling down. Call your Republican reps and senators, ask them if they approve of this messaging, and if they believe assaulting senior citizens and people of color is acceptable. Get them on record.
More than anything, don't let up on the protests, and VOTE.

These assholes really can't help themselves, can they? A week after gassing protestors for a photo op CNN's back on board with tOdAY hE becAMe PrEsIdeNt
It's sure working for moderate suburban Republican; speaking anecdotally, my dad is all in how the old guy was sparking confrontation, can't know how a high-stress situation will go with cops so he should have just listened, etc. The "he was probably an Antifa agitator, these people are just doing it for lawsuits" will quell any doubts in base-adjacent moderates
They won't take shit down, but this would be a good tweet for Twitter to put a comment on.
If there's one thing I've learned, "Trump's team" doesn't mean jack shit. Trump is Trump. He does what he wants regardless of what his aides tell him is best.
Romney just said "shocking". How tame.
Shocking. Is that it? Its obvious, specially these last few months Trump can't/won't do his job. He likes to divide us and get rich off the tax payers.

There is some methods to counter it:
But it's kind of hard when that would violate "free speech" and Zuckerberg is fully intending to let BS be posted on Facebook.
People need to be aware that this is a propaganda technique, pure and simple.
Such a delusional bunch of morons. Not just that they still think they can "tone down" this wart and he won't massively contradict them five minutes later, but that they think they can just paper over years of built up hatred and rejection of him with a couple of scripted remarks about unity or whatever. Those suburban voters who have turned away from the GOP out of sheer revulsion towards Trump aren't going to magically return because you artificially tweaked his rhetoric in year four of his term, dumbasses.
Your dad is not a moderate.
