Trump demands Obama arrest in frantic QAnon-fueled posting spree

Source: raw story




Matthew Chapman May 19, 2025 8:49AM ET

President Donald Trump went on a reposting spree over the weekend on his Truth Social platform, endorsing a series of AI-generated QAnon conspiracy theory propaganda images — as well as a call to arrest former President Barack Obama for a military trial.

It began on Sunday morning, reported the Daily Beast, when Trump "retruthed" an image of himself standing next to Obama, with the caption, “All roads lead to Obama. Retruth if you want public military tribunals.”

QAnon is a Nazism-inspired conspiracy theory dating back to anonymous online message board posts from a person claiming to hold "Q" level security clearance, that alleges that public figures, usually Democrats like Obama and Hillary Clinton, are running a satanic child-trafficking cannibal ring with world-spanning power and influence over the U.S. government specifically.

There are several variants of the theory, including some that hold either former President John F. Kennedy or his son are secretly alive and leading a resistance, but a key part of the ideology is the belief that Trump is the vanguard of the fight against this shadowy group and that he will bring the perpetrators to justice with mass arrests and military tribunals......................

The Harry Golden Rule (coined by New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin, attributed to Harry Golden, a journalist known for insightful observations about American life) states that in present-day America it's nearly impossible to dream up an event so bizarre or improbable that it wouldn't actually come to pass while you're still writing about it.

Mon May 19, 2025, 11:22 AM

he is doing.

Part of the problem and one of the reasons he is in power doing whatever he wants is our lack of understanding that the guy DOES know what he is doing, and we continually think of it as insanity and thus think that other insane people will eventually wake up to reject him, but they are all evil, and those who are not are afraid.

We have seen movies about cults where the victims understand they are in a very bad situation, they don't want to be there, they don't want to carry out evil actions commanded by the "leaders" of the cult, but they also know that if they don't comply, they will be dead soon. In the case of those republicans who remain quiet and like lemmings follow the orders, their fear is they will be dead politically if they don't follow and comply with the evil mandates, and because they lack any principles or morals, they adjust, keep their mouth shut and vote with the rest.

If our Democrat leaders are waiting for those people to wake up, pretend they will remember they may have had principles, morals and love for their country once? They are wrong, its not going to happen, so lets stop pretending the guy is insane, he is just evil, the same with the people he hires, Democrats need to attack evil not incompetence because incompetent they are not.

And one last thing...They know they are being called insane, incompetent, etc., and does anyone really think they care? They don't because it doesn't stop them from carrying on with their agenda while our leaders watch from the sidelines and all they do is attack with words, and those words are not even poignant.

I hate it when I read things like "'So-and-so' person shames trump and the GOP"...BS, they have no shame, and words really do not hurt them, real action is what is needed.

It all seems to be conspiracy fever dreams and grievances against Springsteen and Swift. I can't understand how anyone--much less the POTUS--lives this way.

It is a truly sad time for our country.

I think it's great that you unplugged this weekend. We all should do that weekly if possible. Yesterday I did a quiet Sunday. No radio, no tv news, just fluff stuff or home improvement tasks. Living alone while your spouse travels makes it easy to forget these important moments in our life to actually live and not just react. IQ45 doesn't care that people die. People die everyday and since it's not him, he doesn't care. You're so correct, it's a truly sad time for our country. Indeed.

Deranged Trump Boosts Bonkers Clinton Kill List Conspiracy (The Daily Beast)

President Donald Trump boosted a wild conspiracy theory that accuses the Clinton family of murdering seven people.

Trump posted the clip—with the title “THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE”—to Truth Social on Saturday. The president offered no commentary of his own on the video.

The video attempts to link two of Trump’s most bitter political rivals, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, former White House lawyer Vince Foster, and others.

from Google:

AI Overview

While a precise number is difficult to define, studies suggest that approximately 3.5% of a population participating in nonviolent protests can significantly increase the likelihood of successfully challenging a dictatorship. This percentage represents a substantial, but not necessarily majority, level of participation.


Does Fox/Newsmax/OANN report his rants, like this one & the one saying entertainers should be investigated? I think a huge number of people don't have a clue what this administration is up to.

in a horror movie, where the idiot kicks the killer, mutated bee hive, and then trips when he tries to run away.

Man, he has no idea what would happen if he tried that. The Obamas are protected icons. But, I suspect this is just misdirection from the $400 million dollar jet he is determined to take. He's going to be impeached, at some point. And, that will be on the list. Also, Joe is getting lots of love and respect right now. He can't stand that. And since he can't threaten Joe or tear him down right now, he's pivoting to Obama.

I'm tired of being threatened by Trump. Trump is the worst President the world has EVER seen, except perhaps for Hitler, but he doesn't have the nerve yet to do what Hitler did.

I hope those who voted for this POS are owning him. Hope they're happy. You know, immigrants were never the enemy.

Don't forget, he just made a deal for cartel families to cross our borders! I wonder what he got from them?? He's a hypocritical liar. DON'T FORGET THIS DEAL! Don't let anyone forget what just happened! Is he planning to deport them? Are they that stupid? Americans want to know! I think ole DJT just became a drug dealer...
