MyPillow CEO comes up with a new date for Trump's return to the White House


Cocaine is one helluva drug.

TEXT:

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has once again moved back his expected timetable for Donald Trump’s magical reinstatement to the presidency, this time divining that the historic and utterly fantastical event will occur sometime before 2021 ends.

If it doesn’t happen, he added ominously, “there is no 2022 and 2024.”

Lindell issued his forecast at a rally in Cullman, Alabama, held Saturday by the defeated former president.

Last month, Lindell predicted that Trump would somehow be reinstated as president sometime in August, which has not happened.

Former presidents are not “reinstated” to the presidency in the U.S. after they lose an election.

“By the morning of Aug. 13, it will be the talk of the world,” Lindell said in July, envisioning Trump’s grand return. People, he predicted, would be saying: “Hurry up! Let’s get this election pulled down, let’s right the right. Let’s get these communists out.”

But Lindell hedged his forecast late last month, even before his first prediction had a chance to flop, when he said Trump’s reinstatement might actually happen in September, once he finally presents the Supreme Court with all his supposed proof of a fraudulent election.

Now, Lindell has moved the goalposts again, though he maintains Trump will reassume the presidency sometime before the end of the year.

“When you steal an election, you don’t just steal an election and we’re going to sit here and go, ‘OK, let’s wait for 2020 — or let’s wait for 2024,’” Lindell told rallygoers in Alabama this weekend. “I’ll tell you what, it’s Trump 2021!”

He repeated: “That’s what it is, 2021! If we don’t solve 2020, there is no 2022 and 2024.”

In an interview at the rally with the Right-Side Broadcasting Network, Lindell again said that it’s “100% Trump 2021.” He predicted that “maybe” the Supreme Court would call a “whole new election,” which he said would be “fine.”

“Remember, everybody,” the MyPillow CEO said, “we have to melt down the machines to make prison bars out of them.”

Trump, for his part, praised Lindell from the stage as a “patriot” who’s “willing to die for this country.” He described Lindell’s “Cyber Symposium” — the event earlier this month where Lindell failed to present any evidence of a rigged election — as “amazing.”

Twitter critics had very different perspectives on Lindell:

"Mike Lindell conducted a Master Class, #Cult101, at the #TrumpRally / #TrumpRallyAlabama in Cullman, Alabama. Even @RSBNetwork is offering discount codes for his shitty pillows."

"#Fanatic45 is about to hit the stage to do some serious, serious culting."

"MyPillow crank Mike Lindell is chanting Trump 2021, the creepy old codger has lost his marbles."

"They will move the goal posts again and again until they have returned them to their original position and then they will start moving them yet again. The pillowcase was kinda a entertaining the first half dozen times his predictions failed but the joke starts getting old."

Internet user comes up with same date for Biden supporters actually talking about Biden instead of Trump:

can you rewrite that sentence. This time make it coherent please.

reply

I *think* i decoded it , it took many read throughs.

I think He's basically admitting there's nothing to be said to defend the cult-right and its leaders , so he wants to talk about president B instead .

reply

You want to talk about Biden instead , because the antics of your Orange overlord and his new batshit crazy court jester Lindell are just laughably indefensible?

reply

this whole trump thing is almost identical to end of day cults. constantly shifting the date of the "big event". unquestioning loyalty. calling anyone who disagrees the unchosen (communists)

reply

You're not wrong.

reply

I think he is back on drugs. Very sad. Trump should keep well clear of him.

reply

Doesn't the Pillow Guy have family which can get him the help he needs? It's scary that he's allowed to walk around loose for so long.

A core, ardent element of that crowd, in part now influenced by Lindell, definitely shows signs of cult-like, belief-based behaviors. Countless religions or religious-like groups have predicted the end of the world, date after date, only to see them pass by uneventfully (which I also apply to climate change alarmism, another modern-day religion, even if based off a misunderstood aspect of reality). This belief-based fervor with hardcore Trumpers is essentially the same cognitive processes at play. It’s really wishful thinking run amok.
