    1. We all know Trump spouts conspiracy theories all the time (Birtherism, "deep state") but the big revelation of Ukrainegate is that this isn't just for show. He believes this shit.

        2. The Trumpian Deep State conspiracy theory goes something like this: The USA intel community, working with allies in Australia & Europe, entrapped Trump campaigners in Russiagate in 2015/2016 because they didn't like Trump's heterodox foreign policy views. Trump believes this.

        3. One reason we haven't had a good discussion of Trump's conspiracy theories is dominant narrative of conspiracies (Hofstadter's "paranoid style") is deeply misleading. For Hofstadter, conspiracy theories flourished on fringes, not among elites.

        4. But conspiracy theories don't just belong to masses. Plenty of elites believe in wild & absurd stuff. "Who lost China?" was an elite debate. J. Edgar Hoover an elite powerhouse. LBJ thought anti-war movement was created by foreign adversaries.

        But he didn’t have a reasonable expectation that him having asked Ukraine about Crowdstrike would become public — and if he did or was planning on touting that he did so at a rally, that in itself would (hopefully?) likely have triggered more serious questions about impropriety.

        I'm not so sure that is the case. It seems like he is pressuring other leaders to validate the conspiracy theories for him in order to discredit the investigation into the actual conspiracy he was engaged in.

        He didn't actually believe Obama was born in Kenya. He even admitted to it during the campaign in 2015.
