    But he claimed those around Trump often end up supporting whatever the president wants because he has a quality “that’s spellbinding.”

    “And I think it probably literally is a spell,” Carlson continued. “And the effect is to weaken people around him and make them more compliant and more confused. And I’ve experienced this myself. You spend a day with Trump and you’re in this kind of dreamland. It’s like smoking hash or something. It’s interesting, very interesting.”

    So the iran war happened because folks were high on trump’s… aura.

    What is even happening anymore.

      It’s a really strange thing for someone to mention. Coincidentally I had a college professor who once described something similar to our class about meeting Bill Clinton. He said everyone could “feel something” as he approached. Like a literal fuckin’ magical aura field, no joke.

      Makes me wonder if the conspiracies about occult magic stuff and “the elites” are based on something real. Epstein and the rest were into more fucked up shit than I ever really want to know.

      Oh that’s easy. “We aren’t responsible for contributing to the destruction of our country and the murder of innocents, and neither are you dear viewers. You simply need to understand that the president is practicing witchcraft. Remove the witch and leave us in power and we’ll all do much better. Also you can’t prosecute someone who was hypnotized with a magic aura.”

      I simply refuse to consider the possibility that he’s just never experienced the narcissistic charisma before and actually was unable to resist it, much less consider it a defense.
