Moby claims to have insider info on Trump

by Jeremy Mersereau

More evidence that we are living in some alien entity’s Sims-like computer game: Moby has troubling insider info on the Trump administration. Or so he claims, anyway.

Earlier this week, the DJ, producer and vegan posted on Facebook that he had “spent the weekend talking to friends who work in DC” and, as a result, acquired some incriminating insider info about Donald Trump. Among Moby’s “100% real” revelations: the Russian blackmail dossier does exist, Trump is in direct collusion with the Russian government, the administration is hoping to spark war with Iran by strategically moving its warships along the coast, and that high-profile Republicans are working with the Koch Bros. to find a way to oust the President:

“These are truly baffling and horrifying times, as we have an incompetent president who is essentially owned by a foreign power,” Moby says in the post, in which he also says that global intelligence agencies are working to impeach Trump. “I’m writing these things so that when/if these things happen there will be a public record beforehand.” Of course, this is Moby we’re talking about, not former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, so the public reaction to Moby’s claims hasn’t been without a massive, Hope Diamond-sized grain of salt:

But hey, Matthew Yglesias wants to believe:

Perhaps slightly miffed by the incessant, mocking Tweets about the veracity of his claims, Moby later posted an image of clown alongside a post about how he probably knows nothing, and he’s just a foolish clown, and don’t come crying to him when Trump triggers a nuclear holocaust with Iran.

That… that’ll show ’em.

Hey, stranger things have happened than an aging DJ acquiring accurate, damning info about a sitting U.S. president. I mean…I can’t think of anything, but I’m sure there must be something.
