Trump Jr. reveals conspiracy theory during nuclear meltdown

Donald Trump Jr., former first son and son of former President Donald Trump, has recently faced backlash over the spread of conspiracy theories related to his father’s hush money lawsuit. In a viral video shared on X, Trump Jr. suggested that his father may not get a fair trial in the lawsuit against him in Manhattan.

During an episode of his podcast, Triggered, Trump Jr. speculated that Democrats might try to manipulate the trial by sending people on the jury wearing MAGA hats to pose as conservative supporters. He claimed this was part of a scheme to unfairly influence the jury in favor of a guilty verdict.

Ron Filipkowski, co-founder of Meidas Touch, shared a clip from Trump Jr.’s podcast episode, mocking him for promoting conspiracy theories. This led to a wave of criticism from social media users who criticized Trump Jr. ridiculed for his comments and his apparent paranoia. Many described his theories as absurd and called him a “complete conspiracy theory nut.” Others pointed out the irony of suggesting that only devout Trump supporters can be impartial, while at the same time implying that they can pretend.

In response to Trump Jr.’s comments one user joked: “The elections are rigged. This court is rigged. The jury has been manipulated. The judge has been manipulated. The DA has been manipulated. I’m rigged. You’re rigged. We are all rigged.” Another person pointed to the broader pattern of accusations and conspiracy theories in the Trump camp, suggesting that Trump Jr.’s words reflect a general tendency to question the legitimacy of any adverse outcomes.
