Time to trade in those red #MAGA caps, Trumpkins. If you want your headgear to fit in with the latest White House fashions, invest in some tinfoil.

Others, such as Kellyanne Conway, appear to just be paranoiacs for pay.
Conway seems convinced that the best way to stay in her boss’s good graces is to spread parody-defying crackpot theories, or at least add a dash of color to President Trump’s own crackpottery.
You may recall that Trump, with zero evidence, accused President Barack Obama of having the “wires tapped” at Trump Tower.
