Apparently, a pillow salesman is one of Trump’s top advisors these days and is attempting to get him to declare martial law, install a stooge as CIA director and ummm...   not sure what else...  maybe supply government with his pillows?  That last part I made up.

A Trump ally's notes visible as he visited the West Wing on Friday revealed a suggestion to replace the current CIA director with the current acting chief of staff at the Pentagon. But according to multiple sources, it was not the first time the idea was broached inside the White House.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Republican donor who has informally advised President Donald Trump, was seen leaving the West Wing on Friday carrying pages of notes that appear to outline a series of recommendations. Among those that are visible are the words, "Move Kash Patel to CIA acting" a reference to the current chief of staff to acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller.
Patel, who has held a number of senior jobs in the administration, was named chief of staff to Miller a few days after the general election and is widely viewed as a Trump loyalist.
Captured by a Washington Post photographer, the images sparked immediate questions about Trump's final moves as President. But according to two administration officials, Trump has actually discussed with others the idea of installing Patel as acting CIA director before.

Just fuckin’ bizarre....
