President Trump recently propagated a conspiracy theory suggesting that Democrats are secretly funding angry constituents who confront Republican lawmakers at town halls. This comes in response to widespread backlash over proposed cuts to essential services like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. While videos capturing these confrontations have gained traction online, Trump's allegations lack evidence and echo similar accusations he has made in the past. Moreover, he continues to make unverifiable claims regarding his previous election victories despite not securing a majority of votes.
On Monday, Trump attempted to sow doubts over the legitimacy of those videos on his Truth social account. "Paid 'troublemakers' are attending Republican Town Hall Meetings," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, citing no evidence for his claims.
Notably, Trump did not win the 2024 election by a landslide - while he frequently claims to have won a "mandate," he didn't secure votes from a majority of voters.
