New Delhi: After it became known in the early hours of October 2 that US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19, social media was quickly flooded with conspiracy theories from users of right and left. Throughout October 2, ‘hoax’ was trending on US Twitter. Most of the claims, of course, are as misleading as the statements Trump himself has made about the coronavirus over the past eight months. .
The fact that the president is clearly symptomatic, having been hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, is unlikely to calm scammers, given the secrecy surrounding Trump’s latest medical check-up at the same hospital. military. In fact, this was’foretold‘even before Trump got sick. And if you think that only ‘losers’ and’ fools’ make this type of publication, distrust goes a long way ‘higher‘. Here, follow some of the ‘highlights’.
1. Donald Trump is faking his coronavirus diagnosis
There are thousands of posts on this, but the foremost among those claiming that Trump was faking his coronavirus-positive diagnosis is left-wing activist and documentarian Michael Moore. On his October 2 Facebook page, Moore stated: “There is an absolute truth about Trump: he is a constant, outright, relentless, fearless and professional liar … Trump has a history of lying about his health … He may be. have it. But it is also possible that he is lying. That’s just a fact. “
Moore went on to claim that Trump urgently needed to change the conversation after a string of bad press, particularly about the president’s tax returns, and may use his illness to “push to delay / postpone the election,” something that even according to the admission Moore’s is not possible under the United States constitution, or to use his illness as an excuse to lose.
Others on Twitter variously claimed that the president is faking his diagnosis of “quarantined milk for all it’s worth” to improve his preference ratings, or avoid facing Joe Biden in another presidential election debate.
2. Donald Trump wants to promote hydroxychloroquine
An American citizen who ‘woke up in 2016’ reclaimed “… I think he didn’t test positive and he just said so. Then it will show a miraculous “recovery” to say, “See? Nothing of that! “Or take hydroxyloquine [sic] to boost sales … “
But the IgNobel science award must go to John Cammo, who foretold two weeks before Trump tested positive that “Trump’s October surprise will be the announcement of” his infection. “False, but quite dramatic …. Then, 14 days later, Trump will emerge, 100% cured with hydroxychloroquine.”
The blame for these claims should probably fall on Trump, who has regularly promoted the drug and said he had used it himself.
3. Trump wants Vice President Mike Pence to become president so the latter can pardon Trump
In fairness to the following great folks, this conspiracy theory was first pushed forward by Trump’s own former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, who claimed in early September that Trump would “arrange to be federally charged” and then pardon himself. if you lose the presidential election. . This, of course, lit many fires online after the president fell ill.
-
Under the succession rules, if Trump is incapacitated, Pence takes control and vows to assume the presidential office. I would anticipate, per his preconceived plan, that Pence would award a presidential pardon to Trump. Helluva welcome gift for Trump ‘
-
‘WHAT if Trump’s strategy is to use COVID disease as an excuse to stop running for a second term, hoping that Pence can win instead, having negotiated a Presidential pardon of Pence in exchange for dropping out of the race, which will be awarded right after Pence takes office … And maybe, just maybe, Trump decided to roll the dice and deliberately hire COVID to pull off this ruse. After all, his other option ends up in prison eventually. ‘
-
‘I would not rule out: 1. Trump uses COVID as a way for Pence sorry he, and after the miraculous recovery of POTUS, resumes the Presidency. 2. Trump lying about the diagnosis for the same goal ‘
Except there are no convictions yet for which an alleged President Pence can pardon Trump. Do you remember what Cohen said?
4. Trump was intentionally infected so he could grandly announce a new coronavirus vaccine just before the election.
-
Wait. She’s going to get it, get sick, get well, and then BAM !! Just before the elections… ..a vaccine!!! On another note, did I just become a conspiracy theorist? Only in 2020 ‘
-
The weather is suspect. Mike Pence announced a vaccine in a few weeks. Now Trump and Melania are positive for Covid-19. Will they get the vaccine? October surprise?
-
‘OCTOBER SURPRISE = Trump’s promised Covid vaccine “miraculously cures him.” (Translation:…. False positive result of the Covid test) ‘
6. Trump deliberately infected Biden during the presidential debate
This theory has gained much more excitement after presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace revealed that President Trump was too late for the Sept. 29 debate to get tested and co-hosts from the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University decided to use “the honor system”. meaning they allowed people who were late from both campaigns to claim that they had already tested negative. While it’s really fascinating that they decided to believe a man who has repeatedly spread misinformation about the coronavirus, there is a huge difference between reckless behavior and intentionally endangering someone.
-
‘[Donald Trump] he is a very stable genius. He knew he had Covid and went to the debate anyway. He infected Biden And now Biden is going to die. Ultimate Power Move ‘
-
Obviously this is an assassination attempt on Biden by team trump. They consciously flocked to that germ-filled debate to Deliberately infecting Biden, knowing that at Biden’s age the covid could be fatal. Arrest them for attempted murder ‘
-
‘We educated Americans know that it is Biden’s mask that stopped Trump trying to infect him in the debate ‘
7. Joe Biden deliberately infected Trump during the presidential debate on September 29.
-
We all knew that Biden would find a way out of the debates. I guess now we know how. They infected Trump. In all the time he was without a mask he was fine. Now she was carefully wearing masks … and got sick. shows that masks do not help at all ‘
-
“We know that he worked with China on this virus and that they gave him an antidote. You probably infected Trump and his girlfriend in the debate. He will win because Trump was sent from heaven ‘
-
‘Biden has tested positive for a long time, but he keeps it a secret. In that debate, Biden infected Trump. Ask Biden to try! This is why Biden never hosts rallies and always wears a mask. We should punish China for the China virus. Arrest ANTIFA ‘
8. The last word is for …
@mets_therapy: ‘Conspiracy theory: Maybe there was a radical new outlet that was trying to infect both Trump and Biden in the debate. ‘
