Crazed incest monster Josef Fritzl has boasted he is friends with Donald Trump and believes the US president sends him secret messages through hand signals from the White House.
Delusional Fritzl was jailed for life for the shocking rape and imprisonment of his daughter for 24 years in a dungeon built under the family home in Austria.

Astonishingly, last year (2024), judges in Krems, Lower Austria, ruled Fritzl, who turns 90 on 9th April, could be transferred from a secure psychiatric unit to a regular prison.
The decision was seen widely as the first step towards parole and early release for Fritzl, who is suffering from dementia.
Now it has emerged that pervert Fritzl has told his lawyer how all the hand movements made by Trump at live media briefings are secret signs meant only for him.
He also claims that the audience clapping heard during his favourite televised folk music shows is applause for him from a "grateful" Austrian public.
Fritzl is currently incarcerated at Stein prison in Krems but is expected to be transferred to a regular prison soon.
His lawyer Astrid Wagner told local media that Fritzl's dementia is worsening.
As well as fantasies about Trump and applause, she says he has told her that Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker had called him asking him to "look after the children".
Wagner said: "In truth, he needs special therapy."

Fritzl, it has emerged, is already planning for a life after prison, and has reportedly asked for help finding a remote property in the Austrian countryside.
Chillingly his most important requirement is that the house must have a basement where, his lawyer says, he claims he wants to store his archive.
Fritzl told her: "You know, I have so many files, documents and memories."
Wagner is now seeking to have him transferred to a facility that specialises in dementia care, arguing that the regular prison system is no longer appropriate for him.

Despite the delusions, Fritzl is said to be in fair physical shape for his age.
When asked how he feels about his upcoming milestone birthday, Wagner replied: "He wants to grow old. He wants to grow old enough to get out of prison."
Whether Fritzl will get his wish is the responsibility of the General Directorate for Prisons and the Enforcement of Custodial Measures.
Last spring, the Krems Regional Court ruled that Fritzl "no longer poses a danger that would necessitate his placement in a forensic therapeutic centre."
They said that his combined personality disorder, the main reason for his incarceration in a phychiatric prison, had been suppressed by "progressive dementia".
