Carpe Donktum

Carpe Donktum is the online pseudonym of an American digital content creator known for his involvement in political satire and internet memes. Primarily recognized for his pro-Donald Trump content, Carpe Donktum has been a controversial figure in the world of political memes, often engaging in the spread of conspiracy theories and partisan commentary.

In June 2019, Carpe Donktum gained significant attention after a video he edited and shared was retweeted by President Donald Trump. The video, which was manipulated to depict former Vice President Joe Biden as inappropriately touching himself, sparked widespread controversy and was eventually removed from Twitter due to its misleading nature.

Carpe Donktum's work often blurs the lines between satire and misinformation, leading to multiple instances of platform restrictions and bans. In 2020, his Twitter account was permanently banned for repeated violations of the platform's rules regarding manipulated media.

Despite these controversies, Carpe Donktum has maintained a presence on alternative social media platforms, where he continues to share content aligned with right-wing political ideologies. His connections to conspiracy theorists, such as Alex Jones, have been noted, with appearances on Jones's show "Infowars" where he discussed various political topics from a conservative perspective.
