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?

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.
