Hi, I'm Will Summer and welcome to The Daily Beast, Fever Dreams.

My book on Q&N, Trust the Plan, The Rise of Q&N, and the Conspiracy that Unhinged America will be available in February and is available for a pre-order now.

Sounds like a Batman villain or maybe like a true detective kind of suspicious character.

But no, what he is is he's a billionaire, conservative mega donor.
