The Trump Halo Memes Aren't Supposed To Make Sense

There’s a theory that started on Bluesky a month ago from composer Patrick Cosmos that everyone in the US government is 12 now. Cosmos goes on to show how all the dumb shit we’re currently living through, and which boggles the minds of regular people, makes total sense if you imagine it was conjured up by the brain of a pre-teen. I had a little laugh at this theory but didn’t think about it too seriously until this weekend, when several government social media accounts got really into Halo.
