    Was this guy’s public entry into politics talking about trump’s “talent stack” back in 2016? I remember that phrase randomly entering like every news article I read.

      He’d been doing and saying unhinged shit before that, but he was one of the few people to correctly call Trump’s win waaaaaay in advance, which he took to be evidence of his genius insight instead of just a lucky call. It got him a lot of attention, though, and he’s continued to ramp up the unhinged shit from there. He’s the “Trump is a master persuader who is so charismatic it is basically magic” guy.
