Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 03, 2026

President Trump is bringing back the most bizarre conspiracy theory for why he lost the 2020 election. It's ItalyGate, which pins his loss to Joe Biden that year on an elaborate conspiracy in which Barack Obama and China teamed up to use Italian military satellites to zap the election away from him. Trump boosted the idea this week in a series of posts on Truth Social. In one, he posted a link to a QAnon-promoting X account which laid out the very entertaining theory in detail. The timing was propitious. Trump made the posts after FBI agents descended on Fulton County, seizing 2020 ballots and other records from the election that year. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was photographed peering out from the building, raising even more questions from the reality-based community about what the Trump administration thought was happening.
