The deck chairs on the titanic aren’t going to rearrange themselves. If It wasn’t for shit like this he’d have to actually govern
Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged

Yeah how you wake up at 3:00 in the morning with a great idea but by noon you realize it was stupid. Noon never comes for him.

No. It comes naturally from decades of practice.

Yes

It just comes naturally to him, he’s too stupid to be this good at anything.

It’s part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.

People keep trying to attribute planning to what can be much more plausibly explained by idiocy. Trump is not “strategically” dozing the rose garden to distract from the real news, he’s just a tasteless brutish moron.

People keep trying to attribute maliciousness to stupidity as well. Mostly because it’s easier to dismiss stupidity than argue against it.
He’s shortsighted, narcissistic, and petty. But he doesn’t do things just to prove how much of a big idiot he is. Dismissing everything he does as “idiocy” just gives him more leash to piss on everyone from.

I wouldn’t say those two things are mutually exclusive, Trump is dumber than shit and also a raging malicious bastard. The Nazis were both malicious as hell and stupid as fuck.

He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren’t idiots.
It’s either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

It’s the gish gallop of news: do as much bullshit as possible so nothing can be effectively blocked or countered.

Exactly. Yet another truly awful something is about to happen that’ll get buried under his new patio.
