An attendee at the Alabama Trump rally said she wanted Trump to reveal that he was still president, echoing the conspiracy theory that grips the Republican Party
- A fan at Donald Trump's Saturday rally said she wanted him to reveal he was still president.
- The woman told Right Side Broadcasting Network that she thought Trump "never left" the White House.
- One poll found three in 10 Republicans believed the conspiracy theory Trump would be "reinstated."
An attendee at the Save America rally in Cullman, Alabama, on Saturday told a news reporter she was hoping Donald Trump would reveal he's still president of the United States.
Moments before the former president was due to speak at the event, the woman told the Right Side Broadcasting Network in an interview that she believed Trump "never left" the White House.
"He's already here. He never left. He's the 19th president of the Republic," the woman, who was not identified, said.
Asked what she hoped Trump would talk about during his speech, she responded: "I want him to address when he's going to come forth and say, 'I am,' so that everybody will wake up and we can get this country back. The constitutional republic of 1776."
"And it will happen soon because God is in this and God wins," she added.

Trump's Save America rally drew thousands of maskless attendees to Cullman even though officials declared a state of local emergency several days ago because of the sharp rise in coronavirus cases.
On Friday, Dr. William Smith, the chief medical officer for the Cullman Regional hospital system, told CBS42 that he viewed the rally as "a potential super-spreader event."
"We've seen an increase in patients since that event last weekend, and we're concerned we could see the same impact," Smith said, according to CBS42.
The conspiracy theory Trump will be reinstated as president, popular among QAnon believers, stems from false claims casting doubt on the integrity of the 2020 election.
As recently as June, three in 10 Republican respondents polled by Politico and Morning Consult said they thought it was "very" (17%) or "somewhat" (12%) likely that Trump would be "reinstated" as president this year.
