But then came along Donald Trump - the "outsider" who made it into the White House, and things don't seem to happen how they are expected to.

So is Donald Trump a member of the Illuminati elite in the eyes of conspiracy theorists?

The Illuminati conspiracy theory claims it is a secret society that actually runs all global governments from behind the scenes and is slowly implementing a so-called New World order (NWO), that will culminate in a global leadership.

The theory varies in extremities from the above at the least, to the Illuminati being a highly Satanic cult that intends returning the devil to earth.

But, Donald Trump seems to have managed to have split the conspiracists on what his relationship with the alleged organisation is - or even if he has one at all.

Website The Conspiracy Zone believes Trump is part of the Illuminati, but is a loose cannon.

Conspiracy Zone pointed to hand symbols made by Trump, which it says are clear indicators of his Illuminati affiliation and added it had evidence he was a skilled "mind controller".

"We know that Trump is a mind control programmer," wrote the website.

It added: "If his ego takes him down a road the globalists don’t want him to go, expect him to receive the same end that came to Kennedy.”

The same conspiracy theorists believe JFK was an Illuminati member who defected or said the wrong thing, leading to his assassination, which has spawned its own plethora of conspiracy theories.
