Not a Trump supporter. Distrusts government of all kinds. Does not think he owns his house because of the way he interprets the deed. His daughter talked him into 'selling' the house to her so she can pay taxes on it and he won't be evicted.

Doesn't think he has to obey traffic laws because he isn't a commercial license holder. Believes that police officers require you to hand them your driver's license is to 'gain dominion over you'. When stopped he will leave the driver's window rolled up and place his DL flat against it. Texas driver's licenses have information on both sides and need to be touched to verify it hasn't been de-laminated and security devices meddled with. I can't convince him otherwise.

Last time we talked he went off with conspiracy theories of Clinton murders, Trump Russia ties and asked me to help build and stock a bunker in the country where our families could ride out the coming nuclear war. I tried to reason with him but finally had to just hang up the phone. Last contact was a text telling me to 'choke on my own shit'.

I don't know if he's meeting with others like himself, but I doubt it. He's been radicalized by the internet. Gets all his information from a YouTube channel, Logic before Authority. Everything else is fake news conspiracy.

I think and hope that he is a harmless crank that hasn't enough money to hoard guns though he has his fair share of them.
