Conspiracy theorists on social media believe that Donald Trump spoke to them in morse code in his latest video address following his second impeachment.

According to The Sun, the conspiracy theory was first espoused by Trump's supporters after the incumbent president posted a video on the White House's official YouTube channel on Wednesday, January 13.

Take a look at Trump's official video address below:

In it, the outgoing POTUS addressed the issue of his second impeachment and condemned the pro-Trump mob which stormed the Capitol Building on Wednesday, January 6 - interrupting Congress' affirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 Presidental Election.

Five people died as a result of the violence which erupted on that day, including one police officer. Trump was condemned by many for seemingly inciting the civil disorder in a speech to crowds prior to the riot, and for telling the rioters "I love you," in a subsequent White House address.

In the video in question, Trump states: "I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement."

Per Vice, in the aftermath of Trump's video address, a number of posters on alt-right forums began advancing the theory that Trump's hand gestures were actually a form of Morse code.

Proponents of the theory believe that the POTUS was using to tacitly communicate to his supporters in the wake of his permanent ban from Facebook, as well as his ban from Twitter, and YouTube.

The bizarre and unsubstantiated claim was first made on the pro-QAnon forum The Great Awakening, where the original poster stated that Trump's hand movements at the 4:20 mark of the video represented “dash-dash-dot-dash,” - the letter Q in Morse.

Vice reports that a number of other conspiracists on the social media sites Telegram and Gab also believe that Trump is preparing to send a message using the USA's Emergency Broadcast System to circumvent Silicon Valley censorship.

However, on Twitter, most social media users have discredited the theory and mocked it as laughable:

According to News18.com, there is growing speculation that Trump may attempt to acquire his own social media platform after being banned from more conventional channels.

Per The Independent, in a statement made on the official Presidential Twitter account, Trump tweeted: "We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.

"We will not be SILENCED! … STAY TUNED."

Twitter quickly deleted the tweets, The Independent adds.

Donald Trump Jr.'s has also asked Elon Musk to create his own social media platform "to save free speech":

Meanwhile, Parler, a social media service specifically-tailored to conservatives, has been taken offline after Amazon pulled its support, and Google and Apple took the app off their stores for its failure to comply with their content-moderation requirements.

Discussing the app's shutdown in an interview with Fox News on Sunday, January 10, Parler Chief Executive John Matze stated: "Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too.

"We're going to try our best to get back online as quickly as possible, but we're having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won't work with us because if Apple doesn't approve and Google doesn't approve, they won't."
