TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump became fixated on a fringe conspiracy theory that he could be reinstated as president long after leaving office and before the next election, according to a new book by Jonathan Karl. The theory, unsupported by law and clearly unconstitutional, gained traction among some of Trump's most devoted followers, including MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell. Despite lacking evidence, Trump privately discussed the notion of being reinstated, leading some advisers to worry that he genuinely believed he could force President Joe Biden out of the White House. Even staunch allies like former Rep. Mo Brooks distanced themselves from the theory, with Brooks refusing Trump's request to publicly support his reinstatement.
