conspiracy theorist in chief

I’ll just leave this right here:

“… many want to hypothesize that this is just a very clever stratagem, a distraction, in this case from the controversy swirling around Jeff Sessions. And certainly there may be an element of distraction, but I think following on the heels of the president making an equally astounding and baseless claim that millions of undocumented immigrants voted and that’s why he was deprived of the popular vote, he says these things with such a conviction that … we have to admit the very simplest explanation, and that is he can’t separate what is true and what he wants to believe … what he gets from conspiracy theories. And he’s willing to express these just bizarre ideas. And frankly, this is probably the most troubling prospect of all, that this president can’t separate fact from fiction. And in the context of the constitutional scheme of things with separation of powers, his attack on the courts, his attack on the free media, that he also has difficulty separating right from wrong.” — U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) via National Public Radio
