For over 40 years, I've noted how I DEPLORE #CONSPIRACY THEORIES. It's insane nut-baggery where zealots see "puppeteers" behind everything from "Fluoridation" to Moon Landing.

They are impervious to Facts and no amount of proof can change their minds.

And then this country elects a #ConspiracyNut who spends night dreaming up wild "#DeepState" rationalizations to explain away his failures & prosecution for crimes he has CONFESSED TO ("Those #ClassifiedDocs were MINE!")
