"Despite what some reporters may suggest, this is nothing more than the standard practice of monitoring current events in the media. Any suggestion otherwise is fit for tin foil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorists." — https://twitter.com/SpoxDHS/status/982372727309963264

You're not a tin foil hat wearing, black helicopter conspiracy theorist, now are you?

That tweet might have been amusing if our President was not a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist (not sure what he thinks about black helicopters).

Question for down voters: Can you seriously make a case that he is not a conspiracy theorist?

[zo1]

Well, you stated a claim that seems quite outlandish. Then you edit and question down-voters if they can "seriously" prove you wrong? Unless it's well-known fact or something agreed on by everyone, making such a bold statement would require you to prove your case. Not the other way around.

Theories he has stated or expressed approval of:

• Obama was not born in the United States.

• Climate change is a hoax.

• Ted Cruz's father may have been involved in the Kennedy assassination.

Want more? Just Google for Trump and conspiracy theories, and you'll find plenty of articles covering a bunch of them. Example [1].

He tweets about this stuff frequently. Those tweets are well covered in the press. So yes, it is well known.
