Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

    I honestly believed trump was a democrat plant to guarantee Hillary one.

    They’re going to reveal the whole trump presidency was fake any minute now.

    Right guys? Please?

      It could make sense when compared to Brexit. The brexit referendum was supposed to be a 4D chess move from less insane Tories to shut down the new populist party and more radical conservatives. Instead we got shady meddling, “leave” won and they were actually forced to do it and shoot their both feet with a cannon.

      Maybe the established powers in the US wanted to use Trump to channel extremism into him and have him lose to get rid of the sentiments. Instead some shady meddling happened etc.

      I maintain that his initial announcement of his candidacy was more a publicity stunt than anything else.

      Then he realized he could actually win

      That would have been hilarious. Or hillaryious, I guess.

      Sure as hell, nobody I knew (even the die hard republicans) thought he had a chance in hell at the time.
