On the goddamned internet of course.

Best response yet, at least if you happen to be a college football fan who hates Notre Dame.

But srsly, all of this continuing madness (Trump is puking all over himself again this morning on Twitter) is leading to a widespread theory that it’s all a masterfully crafted smokescreen.   Trump, Conway, Spicer etc etc only SEEM like sub-literate meth addicts who’ve been handed the US government to run — they’re REALLY just throwing this stuff out there to cause confusion and outrage, and to create alternative facts, which deflect attention from their nefarious schemes.  For example Kevin Drum:

Do not for a second think that this wasn’t deliberate. Conway knows that millions will hear about the Bowling Green massacre, but only thousands are likely to hear that it was just made up. And those thousands will all be liberals who read the New York Times and are never going to vote for Trump anyway.

They have plenty of nefarious schemes for sure, but I think Trump’s Razor explains the apparent idiocy quite well.  As in it’s not apparent, it’s perfectly real.  We’re living in the Star Trek evil universe version of Being There.

This link is going to come in handy.

 

Update: On further reflection, including reading through the comments to the OP, I’m now definitely agnostic in regard to whether this was intentional.  The problem is that Trump’s Razor explains Trump well (I don’t think he was gaslighting when he spoke about Fredrick Douglass as if he were a contemporary figure — I have no trouble believing that Trump knows literally nothing about Douglass other than that he’s some famous black guy), but it may not apply to people like Conway, and it certainly doesn’t apply to Bannon.  So this kind of thing may well be completely intentional and thus Orwellian/Kafkaesque in the extreme.
