President Trump on Saturday retweeted a post promoting a conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
The tweet, by Twitter user Terrence K. Williams, blamed the death on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Clinton and does not provide evidence.
The tweet included the hashtags #ClintonBodyCount and #ClintonCrimeFamily, as well as a photo of both the former president and former secretary of State. Conspiracy theories linking the death to both the Clinton and Trump himself trended Saturday on Twitter.
Bill Clinton’s spokesman Angel Ureña responded by writing “Ridiculous, and of course not true — and Donald Trump knows it. Has he triggered the 25th Amendment yet?”

I want a 10,000 word essay from Decius explaining how Lincoln would have retweeted this too. pic.twitter.com/hGgVcotOKK

The current president accused a predecessor of murder to cover up sex crimes. It's not something to pass over with a joke. https://t.co/PAPXdUlghK

It's not unfathomable to me that Trump, who is clearly unstable, would do this. What is unfathomable is how many Americans now accept this behavior from a president they claim to support, hooting and laughing instead of being mortified at the thought of ever having voted for him. https://t.co/Qe9lJ7I7ip

Trump is all about entertaining his fans. If he would spend less time entertaining his fans and more time actually working at the job he was elected to, he might have accomplished great things during his first term. Since he has no real accomplishments to tout, he has to distract his fans from that fact by entertaining them with his tweets in order to get them to vote him in for another term as president.
And his fans love conspiracy theories. Epstein’s body wasn’t cold yet before those fans took to social media to spread every possible rumor that his death was anything but suicide. They are all paranoid just like their hero. And Trump delights in feeding their paranoia.
The US has become a nation of crazy people — with a crazy man occupying the White House.
