Rob Reiner Crams 9 Conspiracy Theories About Trump into Single Tweet

Hollywood director Rob Reiner, a consistent and vehement opponent of President Donald Trump, decided Friday to see how many conspiracy theories about Trump he could fit into Twitter’s 280-character limit.

Reiner tweeted:

In one tweet, Reiner alleged that Trump

• is mentally deranged – There is literally no evidence whatsoever to support this claim, which forms the basis of Democrats’ demands that Trump be removed from office under the 25th Amendment for incapacitation.
• is a con man – Democrats cling to this claim, though Trump has never been prosecuted for any fraud or “con.”
• colluded with an enemy – 100% false, as proven by the report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
• stole the 2016 election – False. And even witnesses like former Director of Intelligence James Clapper, who thought evidence of “collusion” might emerge, testified under oath that Russia did not tamper with voting.
• abused women – Trump has faced (and denied) accusations of sexual impropriety, but never of “abuse.”
• praised Nazis – In fact, he condemned them “totally.” Reiner is repeating what is called the “fine people hoax.”
• took babies from mothers – This refers to the policy of holding children separately from adults when they are arrested crossing the border illegally. It was begun under the Obama administration and ended by Trump.
• decimated rule of law – In fact, Trump has restored the rule of law, obeying the courts, respecting the separation of powers, and preserving the prerogatives of the states. Barack Obama was practically a law unto himself.
• allowed tens of thousands of Americans to die – On the contrary, Trump shut down the U.S. economy rather than allowing millions to die of coronavirus. His early travel ban on China helped slow the spread of the virus.
