When Donald Trump first started getting involved in politics, he used to make up conspiracy theories that were strategically designed to win over suckers and idiots. But these days Trump is so cognitively depleted, he appears to actually believe the kinds of unhinged conspiracy theories that he used to use strategically. That’s not a recipe for success.

Take, for instance, Trump’s latest social media declaration: “WOW, JUST OUT! THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN. THEREFORE SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN WERE ILLEGALLY SPYING ON ME. TO BE KNOWN AS THE IRAN, IRAN, IRAN CASE! WILL KAMALA RESIGN IN DISGRACE FROM POLITICS? WILL THE COMMUNIST LEFT PICK A NEW CANDIDATE TO REPLACE HER?”

What actually happened is that the FBI has revealed that Iranian hackers sent inside information about Trump to people associated with the Biden campaign, but no one in the Biden campaign wanted anything to do with it, and that was the end of the story. Yet Trump has instead decided that the above all caps hallucination happened instead.

Is Donald Trump somehow helping himself by pushing this laugh out loud conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris and Iran? Of course not. There’s not one person whose vote will be impacted or changed by the kinds of things that Trump is making up. Yet he’s wasting his time and limited energy on this kind of nonsense anyway, because he’s so far gone, he thinks it’s real.
