Social media users quickly identified his social media accounts, and if there was any doubt as to what this man’s intentions were or what his political affiliations were, they were immediately cleared up.

Posting under the name Cesar Altieri, the accounts are filled with nothing but pro-Trump memes, anti-George Soros conspiracy memes, and blurry, poorly shot videos of a Trump rally that Cesar attended.
There were three accounts — one on Facebook, and two on Twitter, @hardrock2016 and @hardrockintlent.
lmao of course the #MAGABoomer's twitter account is @hardrock2016

In addition to the endless memes about Hillary Clinton and the rest of her pizza shop pals, a great number of tweets were devoted to Florida’s Democratic candidate for Governor, Andrew Gillum, who right-wing media are doing their best to link to right-wing boogeyman and Democratic donor George Soros.

He even appeared to make other threats against Republican Senators for their half-hearted and ultimately performative displays of criticism against the President:

He also claimed that Parkland school shooting was a false flag operation:

It’s very clear that this man has some serious issues and an obsession with President Donald Trump — which means that the president’s constant incitement of his followers to violence played a huge role in inspiring the attempted bombings.
