… including Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton”
This is Trump playing his distraction game, of course. So many negatives are piling up on him this week that he’s trying to change the subject with some outrageous but relatively innocuous controversy, in the hope that the media will report less about Woodward, Cohen and the whistleblower. If people rant about the far-fetched and imaginary prospect of Tom Cotton in the Supreme Court, an obvious red herring, they will have that much less time to rant about Trump’s COVID lies. You may have noticed that the latest shenanigans have already pushed his financials and tax returns out of the news cycle.
Reporters are generally unfocused and easily manipulated, so this tactic usually works for Trump. You’d think people would get wise to his tricks, but they never seem to.
ADDING 20 names to a shortlist? The man should be impeached for his high crimes against the English language, along with a short list of other reasons.
It will be nice when that kind of thing is funny again, Nature Mom. Now it is such a minor bit of Trump-babble, it is hard to even notice it. The man never really thinks, so of course he never thinks about what he is saying, less still how he is saying it.
“Reporters are generally unfocused and easily manipulated, so this tactic usually works for Trump. You’d think people would get wise to his tricks, but they never seem to.”
Oh so true…especially US reporters who seem to shears a Trump’s attention span.
