Troubling, bizarre conspiracy theories in Donald Trump's late night Truth Social spree
In the space of a few hours from about 10pm to midnight, Trump shared posts on his site more than 50 times.
The president was mostly sharing screenshots of conspiracy theories about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the result of the 2020 election.
"FACT right here: 'OBAMA is the most DEMONIC FORCE in American politics in decades'," one screenshot read.
He also reposted a CCTV video of a man deliberately knocking over a waiter's tray of multiple plates of food, as well as a screenshot of another X commenter criticising him.
One particular screenshot came from a verified X account claiming to be John F Kennedy Jr.
"Barack Hussein Obama wiretapping Trump tower during the 2016 election was a million times worse than anything Nixon did during Watergate. It's time to arrest the Renegade," the account read.
"FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING."
Kennedy died in a plane crash in 1999, well before X existed.
But adherents to the QAnon conspiracy theory believe Kennedy is still alive and will return to support Trump.
Another screenshotted tweet reads: "Arrest Obama the traitor".
The late-night screed came hours after Trump was accused of falling asleep in the middle of the day during an Oval Office meeting.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
