Trump believes a in ‘killer planet’ meant to end the world on Monday, say conspiracy theorists

The last few years alone have seen the President take written shots at Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey and even the cast of Hamilton, but now a conspiracy theorist is trying to convince the world that he also tweeted – in a ‘rapidly-deleted’ post – about the infamous death planet Nibiru.

In case you’ve been too busy to keep up with madcap online conspiracy theorists, let’s break it down: last year, the world was scheduled to end on three separate occasions, all of which were pinpointed as the exact day a killer planet would either pass by or hurtle towards the Earth, consequently tearing us all to smithereens.

Luckily – and unsurprisingly – that didn’t happen.

Furthermore, NASA has stated that the planet doesn’t exist. In 2012 (when, surprise surprise, the world was also scheduled to end), the organisation officially stated:

Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax.

There is no factual basis for these claims.

Despite this statement, a definitely 100 per cent legitimate website named SomeonesBones– an “independant publisher” which relies on “donatoins’ for support – has frequently published articles about Trump’s alleged belief in the planet, apparently the result of a tip-off from Putin, as well his rumoured top-secret search for an official Nibiru advisor.

In fairness, it’s not like Trump and his team haven’t contributed their own fair share of ‘fake news’ in the past – remember the fictitious, refugee-led ‘Bowling Green Massacre’ aide Kellyanne Conway cited to his support his discriminatory ‘muslim ban’? – but it’s highly unlikely he believes we’re all actually going to die (this time it’s real, promise!) this coming Monday.

He is, after all, one of the most-followed – and most-trolled – men on Twitter.

It’s fair to say that even the most rapidly-deleted tweet – *cough* covfefe *cough* – about Nibiru likely wouldn’t escape the beady, sarcastic eyes of meme aficionados.
