"The Epoch Times" has promoted an array of pro-Donald Trump conspiracy theories and is known as one of Trump's closest media allies and defenders. The paper has financially benefited from its promotion of Trump conspiracies, increasing its revenue nearly fourfold during the first three years of Trump's administration (from $3.9 million in 2016 to $15.5 million in 2019) as it catered to Trump's most ardent supporters, to whom the paper marketed itself via targeted social media advertising. The publication championed Trump's Spygate conspiracy theory in its news coverage and advertising, and the Epoch Media Group's "Edge of Wonder" videos on YouTube have spread the far-right, pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory, and embraced false "QAnon" claims. An NBC News report found that two of "Edge of Wonder's" hosts have been a creative director and chief photo editor at "The Epoch Times" respectively. The newspaper promoted "Edge of Wonder" videos in dozens of Facebook posts through 2019.
