The crazy theory that Donald Trump is being sworn in as US President today - the 'true inauguration day'

Conspiracy theorists have said Trump is being sworn in as the "actual" President of the United States today, marking the "true inauguration day".

The latest beliefs published online by group QAnon come nearly six weeks after President Joe Biden was sworn into office alongside his Vice President, Kamala Harris.

The right-wing conspiracy movement is known for claiming the ex-President is working to end a global paedophile ring.

According to the latest conspiracy, Donald Trump is being sworn in as the US President today.

The story is circulating online after another theory said that every US president since 1871 has been unofficial because the United States is not a country but in fact a corporation since 1871.

So, in line with this belief, the group claims Joe Biden is not the President of the United States, and that Donald Trump will be sworn in as planned later today.

Just one month ago, Twitter blocked over 70,000 accounts linked with QAnon conspiracists after the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6.

Twitter said that any QAnon accounts that were posting conspiracy content following the Capitol riot which was seen to have "the potential to lead to offline harm."

The social media giant said; "Given the violent events in Washington, DC, and increased risk of harm, we began permanently suspending thousands of accounts that were primarily dedicated to sharing QAnon content."
