Quote : " . Please so (sic)your own research."
The MAGA bingo card is being filled out :-)
There are loads of articles on links between that phrase and conspiracists. Example here :
Why ‘Doing Your Own Research’ Leads to Believing Conspiracies (princeea.com)
No need to click really, here is the main bit from that :
"This isn’t a plea to bow to authority and stop thinking for yourself. It’s the opposite: real critical thinking is work, and the web makes the cheap version deceptively easy. When you skim headlines, follow emotional breadcrumbs, and prioritize novelty over method, you’re doing a kind of research but not one that maps to how experts actually evaluate evidence. Genuine inquiry traces claims back to original studies, weighs methods, tests rival explanations, and tolerates uncertainty. The modern media ecosystem rewards outrage and simplicity, not careful nuance. So while independent investigation can make you wiser, if you do it using typical online habits you’re more likely to become convinced by persuasive noise than by tested facts and that dynamic is why “doing your own research” so often leads into the warm, conspiratorial glow of false certainty."
So yup. " Do your own research" is a phrase really best avoided really. Unless of course you are presenting accurate source data and all that sort of stuff.
Sorry to digress from the topic.
Back to Trump. He is of course suggesting that the assault on Rep Omar was set up by.... Rep Omar.
He is a flat out conspiracist. That reminds me, did he not make promises on his first term re Area 51?
