MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an election conspiracy theorist, took to his Facebook page to lash out at what he called “bots” and “trolls” who are impatient after the pillow salesman has moved the goalposts repeatedly, promising that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated, The Daily Beast reports. There is, of course, no mechanism in the Constitution that allows for the loser of an election to be reinstated.
Most normal people know this already, but the extreme right doesn’t seem to be aware of it. Oh, hell, some of them have been waiting for John F. Kennedy to be resurrected for over a month now, so why not this, too.
‘On his Thursday evening live stream, Lindell railed against “bots” and “trolls” that have been posing questions and statements on his Facebook page, such as: “Mike, you keep making promises. I don’t see Donald Trump.” Then, referring to his own fans growing impatient with his own fruitless promises, Lindell fired back: “Those are bots and trolls. Any real person out there would know we are doing everything we can!”‘ the outlet reports.
“Lindell’s supporters have also become increasingly vocal on his Telegram over the yet to occur Trump reinstatement, which was initially slated for August. ‘They [the bots and trolls] attack; it’s relentless,” he noted. Lindell didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Thursday night,” the report adds.

The pillow salesman continued to rant about the “rigged” election that wasn’t rigged, and the takeover of our country that hasn’t been taken over. Lindell spent months floating the idea that August was the deadline for Trump’s reinstatement, and of course, that never happened. It’s never going to happen.
Trump has heaped praise on the MyPillow guy.
“[Mike Lindell is] a patriot, a wonderful man, a man who puts his guts into everything. A man that they don’t treat properly. He’s smart; he loves his country so much,” Trump said to a crowd in Alabama months ago. “He’s willing to die for this country.”
Yes, so was Ashli Babbitt.
