I disagree he’s willing to bankrupt himself. He delusional enough to think he’ll ultimately prevail (one way or another). That’s a salient feature of the mediocre, middle to older aged conservative men. That said, he’s also either incompetent enough or self-medicated enough (and he seems like he’s under the influence of some heavy-duty stuff) to actually bankrupt himself before realizing he’s gone too far. ---

Mike Lindell believes the government wanted to kill him: > “And guess who was No. 1 on that list to come and get? Me,” he added, referring to the government. “I’m going, ‘God they’re gonna kill me.’ You know, they’re gonna put me and hang me.

Lindell’s little love spat with Fox News is amusing. He’s regretting breaking up with them, and keeps trying to get them to run his ads again. But he seems incapable of producing a straight-up pillow ad anymore, and always has to throw in some reference to his stupid Frank Speech platform, causing Fox to reject his ads again and again, increasing his heartbreak. > **[Mike Lindell is begging Fox News to start airing his ads again — but the...](https://www.salon.com/2021/09/16/mike-lindell-is-begging-fox-to-start-airing-his-ads-again--but-the-network-refuses/)** > > The MyPillow CEO angrily pulled his company's advertisements from Fox back in July.
