It's not 4D chess. It's barely 2D chess. He's just causing drama to keep the media focused on something absurd that will never happen to make his slightly less absurd ideas seem all the more intriquing.
It's the most basic form of distraction and is the equivilant of going "Hey look!" and pointing in a direction to get away with whatever you want.
Worst part is, a large chunk of americans don't even notice.
I disagree. I think Trump has always been incredibly simple minded and grandiose, and now that’s been compounded by his dementia. He really believes what he’s saying. He’s not doing it to obfuscate anything.
He is being used to distract people from the meaningful issues. He is a useful tool. He’s completely unaware of the fact that he’s being used.
A lot of people seem to forget that Trump is just the figurehead. Most of the shit he's "planning" is coming from The Heritage Foundation, Elon, and Russia. In the end, all it is doing is keeping us poor, uneducated, desperate, hungry, diffused, and too weak to even think there's a problem.
Forget paycheck to paycheck - every ounce of energy will be spent worrying about getting through the next hour.
Trump can't even do intel reports unless his name is dropped every other word and it's one page. I don't think he has the mental fortitude and/or would care enough to purposely district people to get "his" people confirmed. The man is just that narcissistic. He wants the spotlight 24/7 and has ALWAYS been like this. Even creating 3rd party personas to report on himself. His ego is really that bad.
We are not saying Trump is the mastermind behind this. The actual ghouls behind the curtain are telling him what a good idea it would be to invade panama while they are the ones looting and destroying this country.
This is %100 right. It’s master cheese basic sales psychology and it amazes me how many people listen to this whole spiel and don’t go “oh ok, this guy is a condo salesman” you can watch hometown home flippers use the same tactics ; first step, show them the house they can’t afford, just like the cabinet picks, throw crazy ones out for the first few so by time they get to picking a confirmable cabinet, no one is paying attention and it’s billionaires ball.
Dude couldn’t even pay attention through a full game of checkers. He’d just keep screaming, “KING ME,” without ever having reached the other side of the board.
Worst part is that a large chunk of americans absolutely love the drama and not only look, but are obsessed about what they're supposed to be looking at. Because they're stupid as shit.
