    Distraction from:

    • closing down the Consumer Protection Agency, USAID, and the Education Agency
    • cutting off funding to the universities
    • stealing our student, treasury and health records while taking over the purse
    • not following federal judge’s orders
    • building an unregulated concentration camp in Cuba
    • etc.

    Edit: That’s why trump did it. All tech companies are in his hands now.

      No, there are no smokescreens. Trump is literally this stupid. Don’t attribute to maliciousness what can be attributed to narcissism.

        Thank you for giving me the opportunity to post this somewhere else:

        “The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”

        So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.

        “All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”
