    I've long thought it was Trump's destiny to end up as a malignant version of Emperor Norton (who himself was a fine, good natured man, however delusional).https://twitter.com/notjessewalker/status/1400528618137260041 …

        Maybe the space aliens have come to reinstate Trump. Actually, I think they are the ethereal love children of Ayn Rand and L Ron Hubbard. @tylercowen @robinhanson

        Say what you will about Californians, but when Joshua Norton lost his fortune, went mad, and declared himself Emperor of the United States, he did it IN THAT ORDER, and his public POLITELY SUSPENDED DISBELIEF. Trump has done it BACKWARDS & his public are ANNOYING TRUE BELIEVERS.
