Alex Jones , a conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter, took to his Infowars show Monday to try and explain how Real ID is dangerous.

He said the president must not understand how it actually works.

Jones has a surprisingly long history with the president and has been warning about the dangers of the U.S. government since the 1990s .

Starting May 7 , anyone 18 years of age or older who tries to get on a flight may be denied if they don’t have a Real ID.

There are reports of very long lines and widespread inability to get an appointment.

Jones has a long history of spreading lies and sensationalist accounts.
