LOL. That just adds to my assessment. Check it out...I did some more research on this today. It looks like, at the very least, the whitehats deliberately dropped that term that Trump had previously used.

He talked about hacking in that interview, too, though...the pizza outing with Palin may have been one of the first moves in the plan.

He is a big Pepe fan.

what you allege is merely speculation. this is a research sub for research based on facts.

Excuse me. I didn't "allege" anything. Everything I stated was a fact, which I supported with links to the direct sources. Trump did make those tweets. PT777 did cite a mysterious Instagram user "Pizzagate2016" as the source of the name for the subreddit.

OP's title says Trump mentioned the word in 2011 (which is accurate) and that "he knew" -- implying that Trump knew Weiner was part of a cabal of pedophiles. You say this is "mere speculation" because it was coined by news outlets making fun of Trump. But nothing you linked shows any news outlet using that term prior to Trump. Nor could I find any. Here's how the coverage went down:

• Tuesday, May 31, 2011 6:30 pm Trump had pizza with Sarah Palin in Times Square
• At 8:11 pm the same day, The New York Times reported on it. They say nothing about "Pizzagate", but they do call it "surreal" and emphasize that the two seemed to have an alliance:

Ms. Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, had sought the meeting, having “reached out” that morning. Ms. Palin has generated more buzz about a possible presidential bid with the start of her road trip on Sunday — she has visited Gettysburg and the Liberty Bell — did not reveal why she wanted to pay a call on Mr. Trump and his wife. His own flirtation with a Republican presidential campaign ended last month amid speculation it was all intended to jolt his business interests.

Earlier this spring Ms. Palin voiced support for Mr. Trump’s interest in “getting to the bottom” of President Obama’s birth certificate. In 2008, during Ms. Palin’s vice-presidential campaign, Mr. Trump said he trusted her to deal with the nation’s economic crisis.

• June 1, 2011 9:48 am The New York Daily News reports the two met for pizza's in Times Square (no mention of pizzagate).
• June 1, 2011 1:38 pm Vanity Fair analyzes their choices of pizza (no mention of pizzagate).
• June 1, 2011 dinner time Trump interviewed about Anthony Weiner by Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, uses the term "Pizzagate" the day after what the press was calling his "pizza summit" with Palin
• June 1, 2011 11 pm Jon Stewart goes after him on the Daily Show for stacking his slices and using a fork (does not reference Pizzagate)

Think-, the "Sliced and Diced: Trump's Pizza Faux Pas" video report you linked wasn't aired until June 3, two days after Trump's live interview on CNN. Same with the Salon article you cited.

The New York Daily News story was published the afternoon of June 1, but it doesn't mention "Pizzagate". The Young Turks covered their dinner as it happened on May 31 and described the dinner and Palin as a "fraud", but didn't use the term "Pizzagate" either.

It does appear that Trump is the one who coined the term on Piers Morgan.

Did you listen to what Trump actually says in the June 1, 2011 CNN video?

"I watched this ^{(Weiner on the news trying deflect knowledge of his dick pic being sent to a college girl)} today because I was watching between Pizzagate and Anthony Weinergate. I found Weinergate to be a terrible situation. He obviously knows it's him."

At 1:52, Trump says "I don't think it's just a joke. And I think it's pretty bad when a Congressman gets hacked into."

That's right: Weiner, "pizzagate" and hacking all mentioned by Trump. Was he only talking about Weiner's claims of moment? Or did he have friends in the NSA back then who knew what Weiner, Podesta, Hillary, Huma and Alefantis had on their hard drives?

Don't forget the controversial NSA tweet about Pizzagate.

And General Flynn tweeting about sex crimes with children in Hillary emails, and spirit cooking. Or his son tweeting about Pizzagate.

Trump linking "Pizzagate" and "Weinergate" in the same sentence the day after meeting with Palin and mentioning hacking certainly makes my eyebrows go up, especially in light of his tweet the following year (2012) about missing kids and perverts needing the death penalty.

Did he know in 2011 someone was eventually going to nudge 4chan to search for "pizza" in the hacked Podesta emails, and someone was going to make an Instagram account named Pizzagate2016 that trolled Alefantis' pedoey posts? That sounds preposterous...unless the whole thing was planned by the same people. QAnon has said the plan was years in the making.

The Young Turks certainly thought the 2011 pizza outing was staged. And the NYT seemed to think Trump and Palin were in cahoots.

Which came first?

The first ever use of the word Pizzagate came from Trump on CNN (which trump trolls as fake news) before any article was released about the Palin incident. He mentions Weinergate which has become directly tied to HRC and Pizzagate. So it’s not just one coincidence but two. This makes the mathematical improbability of those two facts being just coincidence extremely unlikely.

To me this was a crumb dropped way before Trump ran for president. Future proves past. You can also go to Micheal Flynn’s twitter and see where he liked a video pointing the Trump/Pizzagate connection out.

Pizzagate was a part of Q teams plan all along and has been in the works for years. I personally think that there are no coincidences when it comes to the timing of all of this and that it was done intentionally for us to piece together at a later date.

@Crensch: please see convo above. Thanks.
