Six seconds of speaking to Trump should have informed this lout that Trump is too stupid to tie his own shoes, let alone head up a big conspiracy to take down the generic shadow bad guys.
Unfortunately, said lout is also that stupid and so it no doubt sailed over his head.

why the fuck do these people write things like "profound and ineffable honor..." ... tabernacle of liberty ... It's like they're trying so fucking hard to use $2 words, and they've never read a Terry Pratchett book.
Also ... the president's desk looks like he has ... two phones and a box of cigars (?) on it...?

He gets to read a bunch of conspiracy theorists say how he's the bravest, strongest most intelligent and great person who ever lived for doing so on Twitter
The entire purpose of their moronic conspiracy theory is to make them feel smart instead of unbelievably stupid. It shouldn't be a surprise that they try to posture with their sycophantic gushing.
If you work backwards from the assumption that Trump is guilty, literally any theory that points attention away from him and towards his enemies is a net good. So QAnon, Seth Rich, Deep State, SpyGate, Release the Memo, IG report, etc, they will play up the conspiracy theories at every turn to keep feeding his hungry fans reasons to believe that he's the hero who will just any any day now get around to prosecuting Hillary and Obama and Holder and Lynch and Soros and Ohr and whodafuck.
Ooo...this time force the rich to rebuild it, brick by brick.
Is there a political cartoon where Trump is haunched over the White House, pants down, taking a shit all over it?
Because I feel there should be one.

I wonder what Trump told him. It'd be weird to meet someone who believes in a conspiracy that you supposedly orchestrate. How do you live up?
Indubitably, the ineffable yet effusive ecstasy I experienced whilst standing in the presence of my presidential potentate was akin to an exquisite attack of ague spurred by both his eclectic philosophy and the sheer dynamism of the perfunctory ease with which he circumvented bureaucratic detritus.
I can't believe this is the same Lionel that had a radio show on WOR and WABC in NY, he was pretty liberal during the W administration, what the hell happened to him?
Yes, and he only communicates in SECRET code words to these conspiracy followers to not tip off the Shadowy Evil Society of Generic Menace, but also he invites leading Q pushers to the WH for all to see.
These two things are clearly completely compatible with no lapse in logic anywhere.
You want to know something really crazy? I used to listen to Lionel's radio podcast when I was in high school in the mid-00s, and he was totally progressive. Vouched for Obama, hated Bush, railed consistently against GOP judicial picks and evangelical pandering and tax policy. He was an Air America host, ferchrissakes.
I stumbled across his YouTube channel a few weeks ago and he's gone totally bugfuck nuts. I think he got laid off at WOR and lost faith in Obama by 2012. By 2014 his channel was conspiracy-mongering about Ebola and UFOs and 9/11 and the JFK assassination. In 2016 his deep-seated hatred of Clinton made him turn Bernie Bro and Trump's shock win made him into a MAGA cultist. Now he guest hosts InfoWars for Alex Jones and spreads nutso rants about Qanon and Parkland being a false flag and Anthony Bourdain's death being a cover-up. It's like he's a pod person. It's especially surreal because he delivers all the crazy rambling rants in the same style as his old left-wing shtick, with meandering anecdotes and a very show-offy vocabulary full of ten-dollar-word insults.
But I guess it works for him right now -- not just the White House visit, but the fact that viewers of his live streams donate $20, $50, $100 a pop just to sticky tweet-length messages at the top of his chat box. It's sad.

Particularly as he undoubtedly doesn't know a single solitary thing about it and won't make any attempt to learn, so if he tries to "talk about it" he's going to contradict and muddle up pretty much their entire fictional universe they've constructed.
He has no idea how to use a computer, never has.
It briefings are color coded and one page, like for a kindergartner learning colors.
He has a button in the case that makes a staff member bring him a diet coke.
Why would he have anything else?
this is fucking great, I noticed this as well but I'm not nearly clever enough to mock it lol.
"Tabernacle of liberty" sounds like something The Tick would yell before punching a vending machine.
