Trump Tried to Claim People 'in the Dark Shadows' Control Biden and Even Laura Ingraham Wasn't Having It

Trump Tried to Claim People 'in the Dark Shadows' Control Biden and Even Laura Ingraham Wasn't Having It
Fox News // Fox News

After a press conference in which he refused to condemn the murders committed by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a pre-taped interview between President Donald Trump and far-right media personality Laura Ingraham aired on Fox News.

The President discussed a range of issues from the nationwide protests against police brutality to the pandemic that's killed over 180 thousand Americans.


He also discussed his 2020 opponent, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, whom Trump accused of being controlled by "people that are in the dark shadows."

Watch the bizarre moment below.

When asked by Ingraham whom he believed was "pulling Biden's strings," Trump responded:

"People that you've never heard of. People that are in the dark shadows."

Even Ingraham—one of the President's most vocal supporters in the media—felt the need to push back:

"What does that mean? That sounds like conspiracy theory. 'Dark shadows.' What is that?"

Trump continued:

"People that you haven't heard of. They're people that are on the streets. They're people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms with gear. And this and that. They're on a plane."

Ingraham asked Trump to elaborate before Trump assured he'd "tell [Ingraham] sometime. It's under investigation."

According to NBC News, Trump's claim seems to echo a baseless post shared on Facebook months ago, which said:

"At least a dozen males got off the plane in Boise from Seattle, dressed head to toe in black. Be ready for attacks downtown and residential areas."

People noticed that even Laura Ingraham seemed skeptical.



Others were similarly alarmed by Trump's bizarre claims.





Many took it as another sign that Trump is not mentally fit for office.




Trump has yet to elaborate on the claim.

Another shocking moment during the interview came when Trump likened the killing of unarmed Black Americans by police to a "choker" who misses a three foot put in golf.

Ingraham cut him off, fearing the media would focus on the quote.

Trump Slammed Over Plans For Magnolia Tree Planted By Andrew Jackson To Be Chopped Down

President Donald Trump was criticized after he took to Truth Social to announce he would chop down a magnolia tree that was planted next to the White House to commemorate President Andrew Jackson's late wife in the early 1800s, touting the move as one of the "tremendous enhancements" his administration has undertaken.

Trump announced that, following consultations with the Executive Residence Staff and the National Park Service, his administration has decided to replace the tree on the White House’s south side, citing safety concerns. The tree has historically served as a backdrop for past presidents greeting foreign dignitaries.
