What an odd coincidence!

There is speculation out there that Trump's price for "Trump baseballs," $88.00, is/was a secret sign to his white supremacist supporters that he has their backs. Count on your fingers (my personal calculator). 88 could mean Heil Hitler. I think I saw another (perhaps more recent) Trump product with cost numbers tied in with Hitler. but I can't find it right now.
I am pretty cynical when it comes to "hidden messages" and "conspiracy theories," but I am interested in them anyway.
At a personal level, I find it funny that on November 5, the other day, my "number of views" for "Your Mind is on Vacation and you Mouth is Working Overtime" rested at 666 for the entire day. I haven't researched it, but I think "666" is seen as "a sign on the devil," or something like that.
"Your Mind is on Vacation..." is a song I perform locally, and that I finally recorded
and posted to YouTube with the help of @Vandana7 and Porridge. I was NOT thinking of Trump when I recorded it (though I was thinking of someone I know here). I was just a dark and funny Mose Allison song I have always liked.
If I can, I'll provide links to both the baseball thing and the song. I think the song is up to 667 now. Whew!
Have you ever believed in "conspiracy theories"? Or looked for "secret signs" being passed on by "special numbers"?

No. I haven't. I laugh at most of them because of how over the top they are.

@TheHorse Theries are just that, theries. Things often unproven.

@kaylachan You mean theories, right? Did you hear the silly conspiracy theories about 9/11?

I can’t think of any that I’ve believed in, but I have been intrigued by some.

Also isn't 88 considered an exceptionally lucky number in Chinese tradition?

666 is the number of the beast (Satan), the Antichrist. It is true that 88 was used by Neo-Nazis as an abbreviation for Heil Hitler and it s known that it is now used by white supremacist.
If you are interested this is the database of hateful signs

I love conspiracy theories but most of them don't hold water.

@wolfgirl569 I don't think I heard about that one until yesterday or the day before.

I don't bother with conspiracy theories. I have enough going on in my life. Got another email about Trump hats. I believe they were giving them out for free. Great picture. Have a good weekend.
