Imran Khan, the numbskull playboy cricketer who somehow found his way into the highest office in an unstable country with nuclear weapons, tried to out-Trump Donald Trump: Faced with a no-confidence vote he was likely to lose, he invented an imbecilic conspiracy theory and preempted the vote before it could take place, a marked improvement on inventing an imbecilic conspiracy theory after the vote.
