Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 118: Trump, Freemasons & The Deep State Debate

Is Trump a secret Freemason? A deep state puppet? A 5th-degree wizard of the New World Order? Well, if you ask some corners of the internet, the answer is yes...but we’re here to break it all down. Zak Paine and Jon Herold tackle one of the most persistent (and, frankly, hilarious) conspiracy theories: that Trump is actually playing for the bad guys.

From Marina Abramovic’s bizarre comments to claims about Trump’s bloodline, Masonic symbols, and coded language, we sift through the wildest theories and separate fact from fiction. Plus, we take a deep dive into Trump’s latest tariff power plays, the economic shake-up, and the unstoppable momentum of his second term.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Dark MAGA is a literal spell or just a killer meme, this is the episode for you.
