    I will never believe the whole thing (Trump) didn’t start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn’t get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it’s mass delusion.

        I might have believed before he began loudly proclaiming what a giant moron and narcissist he is for the last decade.
