Is Donald Trump a Truther?
[info]Thread split from here[/info]
![]() Chemtrails are a rare occasion of a "conspiracy theory" that can be investigated by everybody under NATO skies. 9/11 "truth" has not "died out", in fact your president is "a truther", who knows like everybody who paid attention that this truth is just too hard to swallow for the average propaganda victim, i.e. "the masses". I think I got it in 2008 when Alex Jones was leading his brown shirts shouting about the "New World Order" into NYC memorial. Lost cause as a prime focus. But don't "worry", the insurance files are filled to the brinks and the game will "soon" come to a place where you will have to worry if justice will go grainual enough to reach you, "debunker". |

He likes Alex Jones, does CE like Alex Jones too?
What, he lies? Does that make CIC, the LIC? Paik was pointing to the Official Flight path, and CIT are idiots misleading morons who can't think for themselves. Who can translate this claptrap. Is it a case of wishful projection.

"a truther", doesn't that mean a big liar. |

Oh really?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.69b4ee7dc5d9 Please quote anything Trump has said about 9/11 to support this idea of yours. |

Was it a hoax when Trump signed something by AE911TRUTH?

Who cares? Do you think he even knew what he was signing?
Back in reality, Trump actually was heckled by fraudster Rick Shaddock during the campaign: https://www.infowars.com/911-truther...ampaign-event/

Trump was 4 miles away from the WTC, but he saw bombs. Too funny! ![]() |

Wow, someong who lied 2000 times in one year is your support for moronic fantasy of 9/11 truth. CIT were idiots, and Paik was pointing to the real flight path of 77. 9/11 truth is bogus, it does not mean anti-war and other BS is bogus.
9/11 truth is only lies. 16 years of moronic claptrap. Not a surprize Trump, the minority president, says idiotic things, he does it daily. More evidence why you fell for CIT lies. Or is this a parody on 9/11 truth nonsense. |

Basically trump is saying the buildings were so robust that a even a bomb couldn’t bring them down, so it had to be a bomb.
Yup, I’d say that’s stupid enough to qualify him as a 9/11 truther. |

On the day of the attacks? Granted, Trump knows the basics of office buildings better than laymen, but he is not a structural engineer. Remember, the tube-in-tube design of the Twin Towers was not common even in 2001.
ETA: As for Gage, color me unsurprised. The whole 9-11 Truth thing is about where Pearl Harbor Truth was around 1958. He knows he's going to spend the rest of his life competing with Bigfoot enthusiasts, reincarnation experts and psychic detectives. Might as well embrace it. |

Actually, what Trump said was that he found it hard to believe that only planes and jet fuel could cause that much damage, and he speculated that the planes were loaded with bombs. I'm not sure he said he saw bombs, at least I didn't see anything in that video where he said that.
CE, congratulations. You have linked to a video in which Trump states the WTC was brought down by plane impacts, possibly with the aid of bombs in the planes, by terrorists, with no CD involved at all. You have thus disproved your own claim that he is a truther. Well done. You may also have missed the video in MicahJava's link, in which Trump calls for the release of the infamous 28 pages, which he says would incriminate the Saudis. Another nice piece of self-debunking. ![]() |

Trump famously claimed that muslims cheered in New Jersey when the towers were destroyed. Obviously, he thinks muslims take the blame for 9/11.
Trump famously blamed Clinton for not taking out OBL before 9/11 - apparently, Trump believes OBL did 9/11. Trump famously accused Bush the Lesser for failing to heed the secret services' warnings that islamists planned a terror attack - it seems almost as if Trump believes islamist terrorists did 9/11! |

Too much cognitive dissonance at a time to be able to digest the facts.
Only time can make truthers realize their mistake, if anything. I guess we'll start to see them either call Trump a traitor at some point, or make up excuses to exculpate him for not taking action. |

For me, a "truther" has to be invested in the theory. Someone who's a true believer. If trump has any truther tendencies, he's more like the guy who saw a video on youtube and is all, "but there are still questions man!"

I could respect a real Truther, they don't exist Any more, haven't seen them in ages, I can't respect a Twoofer, and I certainly can't respect a liar Like the one currently in the Oval Office.
Conspiracy theorist not Truther, never Truther to dignified a name for Trump. |

Trump believes only whatever the last person who spoke to him told him. With the attention span and cerebral power and loyalty quotient of a goldfish, he is only in it for what benefit he can get right now. So if he was asked by a Twoofer if he was a twoofer and there's votes or money or publicity in it, then sure - Trump will be a twoofer...at least for the next few minutes until he has to tweet something.

With Trump in charge of 9/11 truth, the movement of idiotic lies, he would fire everyone. 9/11 truth would not exist, after the stable genius took over.
Trump and CIT, idiots for life. |

In Trump there is no truth. And truthers do nothing but trump (where trump has the meaning of fart).

The word "truth" and the name "Trump" are pretty much polar opposites - the question would be better framed as :
"Does Donald Trump believe stupid ******" That would be a yes. |

Regarding the nature of 'Truth', Ex New York Mayor/current Trump Attorney Rudy Giuliani floated a new meme on Sunday:

Obviously, we have to take a popular vote before we can classify something as "True" or "False". We are living in a Democracy, after all!

The video that CE linked contained a domain name at the end: http://trumpcommission.org/
They seem to be putting a lot of blind trust on a compulsive liar. (And spreading lies at the same time) Edit: As is often the case with Rick's domains, this one seems to be temporarily unavailable. Here's an alternative link: http://aneta.org/trumpcommission%5Forg/ Edit2: Archived for posterity: http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http%3A%2F%2Faneta.org%2Ftrumpcommission %255Forg%2F&date=2018-08-23 |
