Conspiracy theorist and snake oil salesman Alex Jones had a special Christmas message for his old friend, former President Donald Trump, calling him “one of the most evil men who has ever lived.”
Jones’ melodramatic condemnation was provoked by Trump’s recent interview with right-wing culture warrior Candace Owens, in which Trump uncharacteristically sided with science and reason, repeatedly insisting that the COVID-19 vaccine is perfectly safe, much to Owens’ horror.
It is a deliciously awkward interview , in which Owens (a staunch COVID anti-vaxxer) is clearly taken aback by Trump’s enthusiasm for the vaccine, and desperately attempts to shift the conversation towards vaccine mandates.
Trump, however, didn’t allow himself to be distracted for long, and continued to emphasize not only the safety of the vaccine, but the danger of being unvaccinated during a global pandemic. Predictably, the former president credits himself for the creation of the vaccine, but made it explicitly clear that he believes the vaccine is saving lives.
Owens quickly pushed back, saying:
"And yet more people have died under COVID-19 this year, by the way, under Joe Biden than under you. And more people took the vaccine this year, so people are questioning how..."
Trump didn’t let Owens finish, confidently stating:
"Oh no, the vaccines work, but some people aren't taking them. The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don't take their vaccine. But it's still their choice, and if you take the vaccine you're protected. Look, the results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine."
The Owens interview isn’t the first time Trump has endorsed the vaccine (he has mentioned it before , only to be met with boos by his audience), but the interview is certainly the first time Trump has spoken about the vaccine for a prolonged period of time, with clarity and enthusiasm, making his opinion on the matter impossible to deny, even to the most feverishly delusional segment of his fanbase.

Hence, Jones (also a staunch anti-vaxxer, obviously), went on one of his infamous rants, practically bursting a blood vessel in his fury, stating :
"But now that you know that [Anthony] Fauci signed you onto a fraud, you must extricate yourself from this lie, or you will be forever known as the M.V.V.P., the Most Valuable Vaccine Pusher, and the name Trump will be associated with pure evil. Do not go down history as Josef Mengele 2.0."
Jones continued, branding Trump a "coward" but urging him to "turn back," saying:
"Your legacy will be that of a monster. Your legacy will be that of a eugenicist. Your legacy will be that of a child killer, using medical tyranny."
Initially one of Trump’s most passionate and vocal supporters, Jones eventually found himself overshadowed by the QAnon conspiracy theory, which, being a crowd-sourced narrative, never required Jones’ output to spread.
Indeed, in a leaked outtake from an interview for the documentary You Can't Watch This , filmed in 2019, Jones admitted that he wished he "never would have f***ing met Trump."
"I'm so sick of f***ing Donald Trump, man," Jones said. "God, I'm f***ing sick of him. And I'm not doing this because, like, I'm kissing his f***ing ass, you know. It's, like, I'm sick of it."

I really like that photo in your seed. That's how I always imagine him
Well that's typical of the way is ...fairly often!

So apparently Alex Jones and Stormy Daniels have something in common...
No, I don't think you get very sick kissing his ass, I'm pretty sure that was from licking his ass, those are some dirty microbes you do not want to be ingesting and will in fact make one "sick".
That's already happened.
Well I don't know if I'd go that far. I doubt dumb shit Donald could even spell eugenicist let alone be smart enough to selectively mate people with specific desirable hereditary traits. With Trump heading the eugenics department we'd end up with an entire crop of fat greasy stupid vegetables that couldn't tell the difference between their assholes and a hole in the ground.
Well, he might be remembered as an accused child rapist, and remembered as a father who said of his daughter that he'd likely be dating her if he wasn't her father, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's paid for more than a bakers dozen of abortions in his time, but I wouldn't consider him a "child killer". I supposed his choice to lie about Covid and downplay the safety measures and ridicule masks and social distancing might have led to a few child deaths so in that regard I suppose he might be a child killer, but it's certainly not from him endorsing the vaccine.
But we could saute them and serve them with a nice ribeye
It seems the cheese has finally slid completely off Alex Jones cracker ..... long time coming .....
What do you mean finally? I first heard of this asshole when he was telling people Bush Jr was setting up camps to round up political prisoners under the guise of FEMA. That fucker never had a cracker to begin with.
I didn't stutter ....
So he was perfectly normal when he was spreading bullshit about FEMA camps and Sandy Hook false flag operations, but the day he dumps Trump he's gone off the rails?
No
Yes
Any more questions?
calling him “one of the most evil men who has ever lived.”
Classic kettle/pot.
Now that he faces being totally broke, Trump will claim he does not know him. With Trump it is no money, no sugar.
Trump confounds the idiots yet again. Too funny!
Not to worry. The idiots will still idolize him.
no shortage of that commodity on the right.
... nowadays I am afraid you are correct
Yeah...well...that's what happens when you drink the toxic kool aid
Plenty of people share this sentiment albeit for quite a different reason.
Trump is very much like a troll except he is a troll on the planet instead of being limited to an internet forum.
I guess trump's check for a legal defense won't be coming anytime soon...
Sunday Sunday Sunday!!! Trump vs. Jones MMA octagon cage match!!! Who's the most deranged? Who's the biggest liar? Who's gonna come out alive in this epic fight to the death?
It will look like two beached whales trying to mate.
I would actually pay to see that
I mean . . . It’s good when the top lunatic isn’t on your side anymore, right?
Wow, the spinning has begun. What will right wingers who follow this crazy man do now that he directly attacked their golden idol? He is just giving them cover as they all see the light that all of the right wing base has been conned by their own idol and also conned by the likes of every right wing talking head who went along for the ride. Nowhere to turn now.
If history is any indication, Jones will probably run for President now and win.
Lol .... what ridiculous rhetoric.
That said, you wanna place a bet on that?
The thought of Donald Trump winning the Republican primary the first time was widely considered to be ridiculous rhetoric. Why would anyone be surprised by anything at all after that?
Put your money where your mouth is.
Metaphorically speaking of course since i'm sure gambling is frowned upon in this fine establishment.
I do not expect Trump to run again unless he is absolutely positive that he will win. I think he will simply milk his celebrity for all it is worth. He likely fancies himself a king-maker and those who continue to support him enable that to happen.
But, as Hal noted, given modern politics and the utter nuttiness of the GOP nowadays, it would not be that surprising if Trump did run and win.
He was talking about Jones running and winning.
see @13.1.2
We weren't talking about Trump we were talking about Jones.
The only nutty thing about that comment is that you didn't include DEM's as having the same issue.
Very telling .....
See @13.1
That was the original thought and the 13.1.2 was the past history POINTING to and justifying his 13.1
see @ 13.1.2
I have yet to see anything that compares to the GOP continuing to support Trump after pulling his Big Lie con job as sitting PotUS. I would have expected the party to immediately distance itself from Trump but instead they rally behind him. Toss all integrity to the wind and follow someone who absolutely clearly places his own personal interests above those of the nation and is willing to wreak havoc in a ridiculous attempt to get what he wanted.
Confirmation bias
Wow, you cannot just admit your nit-picky little gotcha was wrong. I purposely gave you a graceful out, but you could not just be silent but have to actually try to make yourself look correct.
My @13.1.4 referenced the contents of an earlier comment @13.1.2. Why are you playing this pathetic game of trying to get a trivial gotcha when it is clear that even the trivial gotcha is wrong?
You may want to look at the string again TiG. And no need to get upset FFS. Here let me help............
He had already made the point the Trump DID run and win and was speaking of the ridiculousness of Trump winning and the possibility of Jones doing the same given the fact that Trump did.
Where NOTHING was said about Trump running and winning AGAIN. Do you ALWAYS have to be right? FFS read
So...I should put you down as a "No"?
Most people here at NT have to be. I have yet to see anyone admit they fucked up and were wrong. And everybody here at one time or another has been wrong
That said...TiG is usually right.
You and sparty are right, Jim. Hal was talking about jones.
Woo-hoo I bet Jim and Sparty needed you to tell them that.
I truly am amazed at how desperate some are to try to get a gotcha no matter how trivial and even when dead wrong.
Truly pathetic. You people totally ignore the actual point and instead are grabbing imaginary straws in a desperate attempt to find someway to find some irrelevant aspect of what I wrote wrong. And you are wrong about that even.
No, but obviously some did. Yw.
Not this time. The subject was Jones running and if Trump could win like he did, so could Jones........theoretically.......LOL but never
No for what?
Ehhhhhhttttt wrong .... would you like to try double Jeopardy where the points can really start to add up?
You won't be voting for Alex Jones
Nope nor Joe Biden .... again ....
Oh, c'mon. Gazoo's comment was like one of XX's. "Way to go!" "You're so right!" "You da the man!"
You know....lame cheerleader comments
I didn't need you to tell me anything.
How utterly desperate can one get ... to be this intellectually dishonest and absurdly petty while being dead wrong?
I don't believe for one second that you voted for Joe Biden
I think he meant he would again not vote for Biden. (I read it like you on first glance.)
Perhaps but that isn't what you said.
That said, is that how it works over there on the left side of NT?
Folks constantly colluding behind the scenes and deciding who is going to stroke who's ego?
I'm asking for a friend .....
I don't believe that i said you did.
We don't collude any more than your side of NT.
Never mind. I read TiG's reply and now it makes sense.
Go pick on somebody who had a full night's sleep last night
I seem to have that effect on some folks here.
Guess i better retire real soon since my communications skills apparently have been seriously lacking all these years according to NT.
Well on that we are even, i slept like shit last night as well
