I guess either:
- Trump feels the odds of winning are sufficiently low that he has nothing to lose by sharing such nonsense.
- His mental health is not strong.

I think it's possible for more than one person to have poor mental health.

Don't worry, less than a month and Trump will be back making reality TV programmes and we'll wonder if it was all a bad dream.

Anyone who uses twitter should probably get their mental health checked anyway.

Quote:
Robert O'Neill, who says he killed bin Laden in the 2011 raid, has rebuffed Trump and others in several tweets for promoting the conspiracy theory that bin Laden's body double was instead killed.

The response from the former Navy SEAL came after the president on Tuesday retweeted a QAnon-linked account that promoted a baseless conspiracy theory alleging that bin Laden is still alive and his body double was instead killed. The account has since been suspended. Trump retweeted another video on Wednesday promoting conspiracy theories about bin Laden's death.

A White House spokesperson did not immediately comment.

O'Neill, a Trump supporter who was banned from all Delta flights in August after he published a photo of himself not wearing a mask in the cabin, pushed back against the conspiracy theory in several tweets.
*who’s a Trump supporter.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Trump has just tweeted this...



This is the story from the Babylon Bee website
Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In a last-ditch effort to stop negative stories about Joe Biden and his family from spreading, Twitter shut down its entire social network Thursday.

After seeing account after account tweet out one particularly bad story, CEO Jack Dorsey realized he had to take action. Dorsey smashed a glass box in his office reading "Break In Case Of Bad Publicity For Democrats." Inside the case was a sledgehammer for smashing Twitter's servers.

"Red alert -- shut the servers down! Shut them all down!"

Dorsey ran downstairs and started smashing as many computers as he could, but he did need to ask for some help, as the hammer was pretty heavy. None of the programmers could lift the hammer, either. Eventually, they managed to program a robot to pick up the sledgehammer and smash the servers.

After hearing the Twitter employees talk about critical theory, the robot got woke and began attacking all the cis white males.
Only three small problems with his statement -
1) Twitter hasn't closed anything down
2) He just posted something on Twitter, so how could the "entire network" be shut down
3) the Babylon Bee is a comedy/satire website, like "The Onion" or "NewsBiscuit"...

About Us

What is The Babylon Bee?
The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.

The Babylon Bee was created ex nihilo on the eighth day of the creation week, exactly 6,000 years ago. We have been the premier news source through every major world event, from the Tower of Babel and the Exodus to the Reformation and the War of 1812. We focus on just the facts, leaving spin and bias to other news sites like CNN and Fox News.

If you would like to complain about something on our site, take it up with God.

Unlike other satire sites, everything we post is 100% verified by Snopes.com.

You must be quite the Trump fan to follow his twitter feed so closely.

1) People have told me it was shut down
2) Obviously it isn't now
3) He is linking to the babylon bee because twitter is blocking links to the new york post.

They’re blocking links to a specific story in the NY Post, not to the NY Post.

Here is a screenshot of the Post’s Twitter feed, taken a couple of seconds ago...
