Queen Elizabeth II Secretly Knighted Donald Trump? The Truth After Social Media Thinks So!
A bizarre online conspiracy theory holds that Queen Elizabeth II secretly knighted Donald Trump.
A photo of the former President's Truth Social page with the message "I never told anybody but she knighted me in secret" has been circulating online.
This conspiracy hypothesis emerged following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.
However, it wasn't long before the hypothesis became viral on the internet, with many people saying that it was uploaded by the entrepreneur himself.
However, once specialists examined the snapshot, it was determined that it was a forgery.
They claim that the position never existed in the first place.
According to the Associated Press, Trump's spokesperson acknowledged that he did not post such a thing.
It didn't take long for the rest of Twitter to get the joke and everyone was in on it.
"It's true that Trump was secretly knighted by Queen Elizabeth," one Twitter user wrote. "Sir Lies A Lot is his knighted name."
"As credible as it is, the article about Trump now claiming on Truth Social that he was secretly knighted by Queen Elizabeth is 100% FALSE," another individual commented.
"However, hats go to whoever originated this rumor since I nearly spewed up my morning coffee in laughing."
The phony screenshot was one of several in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's death. There was even speculation that Donald Trump might be crowned King of England, which is clearly false.

Although Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral and private burial were just three days ago, prominent members of the royal family are reportedly completing engagements this week to thank individuals who were part with the service.
Though they are still in grief, they allegedly wish to express their gratitude to those who assisted with the burial, which involved thousands of individuals ranging from police to government workers.
According to Buckingham Palace, this week's festivities will be centered on recognizing military personnel.
Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest next to her husband, Prince Philip.
Guardsmen who carried the Queen's coffin during the official burial have been lauded for their professionalism and hard work. Some even suggested that they be recognized for their service.
"The Royal Victorian Order is for personal service to the sovereign, and I would think you can't get more personal than carrying the sovereign's body during all the funeral rites," said Lord Dannatt, chief of the British Army.
