Loomer walked into the WH with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character & loyalty of numerous #NSC ofcls. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz, who was also in the meeting.

Loomer’s rhetoric & actions have been so #extreme that she has alienated others even on the #FarRight. She has shared a #ConspiracyTheory on social media calling the Sept 11th 2001, terrorist attacks an “inside job.”

“They’ve got some very bad things going on in South Africa,” #Trump goes on a #ConspiracyTheory based tangent when he outlines the reciprocal tariff against that nation. Trump & #Musk have repeatedly amplified false claims about the persecution of #white Afrikaners in #SouthAfrica, & made an exception to his refugee ban to screen Afrikaners for #refugee status. Trump included in his tangent a typical criticism of the #media for how it covers South Africa.

The tensions make explicit the obstacles facing #courts as they seek to get a grip on #truth & underscore the extent to which #Trump’s brazen manipulation of #facts has paved the way for him to aggressively bolster his authority…
Accused of defying a court order by deporting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants…,the admin claimed the judge had no right to issue the order—in part bc, it says, the men are *terrorists* who have *invaded* the US on behalf of #Venezuela’s govt.[#ConspiracyTheory nonsense]

#Trump, who specifically took aim at the #pardons granted to members of the bipartisan House cmte that investigated the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection, offered no evidence for his claim, & there is no power in the #Constitution or case #law to undo a #pardon. But Trump’s assertion, which embraced a baseless #FarRight #ConspiracyTheory about #Biden, was a new escalation of his antidemocratic rhetoric.

In a full-on #antivax #ConspiracyTheory moment, #Trump vowed again to figure out “what is going on” with high rates of #autism, by tasking his #health secy, #RFKJr, w/the responsibility. This question has been a focus for Trump since his first term — & is a source of concern for Democrats & in the #PublicHealth community.

During questioning after #Trump’s #cabinet meeting, #Health Secy #RFKJr, a #vaccine critic, said the government was closely watching the #measles outbreak across #Texas. He said measles outbreaks occur every year.

[not at this scale & rate in the US, not before the outbreak of the #ConspiracyTheory #propaganda from idiots like Kennedy]

RE
#Trump goes to #FortKnox

A very old #conspiracytheories #conspiracytheory (key word being 'CON')

Like the one the CIA found (in 1990s) Japanese military GOLD that was hiddent in the Philippines during WW2. Disproven by researchers, but apparently still in, #MAGA minds, #Foxnews, #Newsmax I imagine

Find out who is still pushing this decades old thing and we find out who Trump is currently _attentively_ listening to
