Far-right conspiracy theorist webcaster Alex Jones urged his followers to abandon President Donald Trump and move on to fighting the left without him, arguing that he is showing clear signs of both mental and physical deterioration.
The clip was first flagged by Ron Filipkowski of the liberal Meidas Touch network.
“When your ankles swell up three times the size they were before, that means heart failure," said Jones. "And he does look sick. And he does babble, and it sounds like the brain’s not doing too hot. And so, we just cut bait on Trump, and we just mobilize against the Democrats.”
Jones has been a fiery figure on the far right for years through his InfoWars network, pushing a vision of fighting a Satanic New World Order controlling everything, while leveraging the paranoia of his followers to sell a wide range of products, ranging from survival gear to highly-priced dietary supplements. For years, he went through financial chaos brought on by billion-dollar litigation from the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, whom he sent his followers after by claiming the tragedy was staged.
Though he was previously a firm supporter of Trump, in recent years, he has become disillusioned with the MAGA movement on many levels, claiming Trump's circle sold out to traditional pro-war Republicans.
