President Donald Trump has been on a retweet spree of a Twitter account named @catturd2, which has been supporting his bid to overturn the US election result — creating a trending topic.
Trump retweeted the anonymous account three times overnight on Monday. The account represents itself as a mainly comic one that supports the president.
Trump has dismissed or ignored authoritative statements — including from the Department of Homeland Security and international election observers — that the election was fairly won by Joe Biden.
Instead he has relied on dubious outlets and practically any source willing to back his preferred narrative.
@catturd2's profile bills the account as 'The MAGA turd who talks s---,' referring to the campaign slogan 'Make America Great Again.'
Among the president's retweets was one claiming 'Rudy Giuliani is presenting a ton of evidence' in the president's challenge to the election results, while another shared an article from the Gateway Pundit aggregation site alleging ballot-counting irregularities in Arizona.
Arizona's Republican governor, Doug Ducey, certified the election for Biden on Monday, infuriating the president.
@catturd2 has more than 462,000 followers and claims to have been retweeted by the president seven times in total.
The term 'Catturd' has trended on Twitter, largely with people expressing embarrassment or amusement. Some accounts showed horror, others sarcasm:
