"Jones began his career in Austin, Texas, back in the ’90s, as a local cable access cult figure at ACATV (Austin Community Access Television). He built a rabid national audience by spewing out conspiracy theories and manically declaring all major calamities as inside jobs. Donald Trump appeared on his show a few years back and praised Jones’ barking-at-the-moon style by saying, “Your reputation is amazing.” Jones, in turn, helped usher the conspiracy-theorist-in-chief into the White House."
