He published an article deriding Trump on Crime & Federalism in early 2006. It referred to the billionaire as a “media whore” who “casts his image to the world on demand and recasts it constantly to suit everchanging ratings and marketing schemes,” and advised to “never trust a man who combs his hair so as to cover his shiny dome, and then flaunts a wife young enough to be his daughter.”
Mike became influential on social media, initially as part of the manosphere movement and he later helped to shape far-right narratives in the United States. He then falsely claimed during the 2016 United States presidential election that Hillary Clinton had a “seizure disorder” and Parkinson’s disease. By September the same year, his #HillarysHealth hashtag had gotten 240,000 page views. It had also become a national trending topic on Twitter.
