I'm pretty sure this is what he's going for, though, and it's absolutely astounding how quickly he's managed to exhaust everyone's capacity for incredulity. I posted this article before but I'm not sure anyone actually noticed, and they should because it's one of the best things I've read since Trump was sworn in. This part is particularly important:

A would-be kleptocrat is actually better served by spreading cynicism than by deceiving followers with false beliefs: Believers can be disillusioned; people who expect to hear only lies can hardly complain when a lie is exposed. The inculcation of cynicism breaks down the distinction between those forms of media that try their imperfect best to report the truth, and those that purvey falsehoods for reasons of profit or ideology.
