Trump's hot mic moment with Chief Justice John Roberts sparks conspiracy theories

After getting caught on a hot mic telling Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, "Thank you again, I won't forget it," conspiracy theorists claimed President Donald Trump was voicing his appreciation for the Supreme Court granting him absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his first term — a ruling written by Roberts.

But Trump tore into the "Fake 'Play the Ref' News" on his Truth Social Wednesday, taunting the media for its coverage of the exchange that took place at his joint session of Congress. “They never called my office to ask, of course, but if they had I would have told these sleazebag ‘journalists’ that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING! The Fake News never quits!” he wrote.

So he goes down a line and thanks about 15 people. But only one made the conspiracy list.

What is it he won't forget? Thank you isn't what the consiracy is about, it is "Thank you, thank you again, I won't forget".

Saying thank you for coming to a speech is not a crime

The man is fighting for our country, fight with him, not against him! Together we stand, divided we fall!

[BomberoDeAcero]

No need for theories; the corruption has been consistently transparent.

[ShowMeTheMendozas]

He said thank you!!!? And then he winked at him??! Lock him up!!!

I remember when America was a free country which upheld the Constitution.
It's shocking just how rapidly things can change.

Is it a hot mic moment if he KNEW the cameras were right there? Or did he just forget 😂

[denisecase]

Like I believe anything in the ny post. How dumb are you people?

[seanmcclure]

I haven’t kept up with this, but I am sure this will be front page news. Talked about on CNN constantly. All of the typical media outlets will be covering this extensively. It’s all they have.

[geriploch]

President Trump, thanked all the Justices for attending, what is the problem ?

[KennShipley]

I agree all seemed normal to me! Demoncrats are so lame.

[RickyAndZach]

He blinked twice!!!! Sound the alarm! Collusion!! 😂😂😂

Pathetic NYP as always

[TharonGray]

Oh my goodness he said thank you and he wouldn’t forget for them coming. The world is going crazy.

[EduardoBrandt]

Either Trump, in a mafia capo style, was thanking Roberts for the Inmmunity decision or as Trump said for swearing him in at the inauguration ceremony. But Trump added: “I won’t forget”. Can Trump be so thankful for something Roberts has to do anyway regardless of the president being sworn in or for preventing him going to jail. Which is more plausible?

He thanked everyone that he shook hands with, so I guess he is conspiring with everyone who came to hear him speak and hung around to congratulate him 😅😂
