Twitter is making Eric Trump suspicious, you guys.
Donald Trump‘s special boy took to the social media site to point out the red flags he saw in his “Who to follow” suggestions, which were apparently much less Breitbart-y than he was used to.
In the first son’s latest suggestions round-up on Tuesday, it was advised he follow the accounts of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Ellen DeGeneres.

Eric was understandably shocked to see these accounts being suggested to him, we guess since none are white nationalists or elephant poachers. There was only one logical explanation: all three — including the Ellen host — are part of the “Deep State”!
He tweeted:
Shocking… once again, here are the @Twitter “suggestions” of who I should follow. #DeepState pic.twitter.com/6XYUS02j34

Shocking…ly stupid.
For those who don’t know, alt-right conspiracy theorists have been pushing the “Deep State” theory since 2014, claiming a secret entity is controlling our elected government behind the scenes without consent of the governed. Which is weird, because that’s kind of how we feel about the Trump administration…

The term was coined by former Republican U.S. congressional aide Mike Lofgren, who described the Deep State as “a hybrid association of elements of government and parts of top-level finance and industry.”
That said, Twitter users found it extra hilarious that Eric thinks Ellen is a part of this shadowy government, let alone two high profile politicians he frequently tweets about!
Here are a few funny responses:
Not proud to admit this, but I would pay $20 to sit with Eric Trump for ten minutes and have him explain Ellen DeGeneres’ shadowy role in the Deep State.

This is the most unintentionally hilarious tweet of the very very new year!

Yea that Twitter algorithm is crazy. Why on earth would it suggest you follow the people you tweet most about!?!?

Yes. Ellen. You got her.
It’s over, everyone! Eric caught us. https://t.co/iZVlAqPcE1

Apparently Ellen is part of the “Deep State. @TheEllenShow can you tell us where you were when Kennedy was assassinated? https://t.co/ntzggx88ij

You do realize none of the 3 recommends are employed by any state, deep or otherwise? In other news, there’s actually no mister under your bed either.

Note to Deep State truthers: key members of a secret government are likely NOT the most well-known people on the planet.
Now the Illuminati, on the other hand…
