It’s exhausting to hear this, but 100% true. Trump creates daily outrage so there’s no oxygen in the room to focus on his crimes. We were talking about unredacting the files, holding Trump to account in the court of public opinion, and everything fell away again because he used our military to wage war. It’s taken over the conversation, again, with what remains being posts like these reminding people almost in vain that hey, if Trump breathes a word or walks from point A to B while on camera, its to distract the public from organizing over the truth that he is a narcissistic rapist pedophile with the ability to end the world.
All we need is for one media org to build a “Trump Watch” vertical banner on their homepage that acts as a timeline and is populated by time-stamped Tweet style updates. No linked stories, just the headlines of the stupid shit he does so some oxygen can be used for more important things.
I’d be satisfied with a scrollable list of wild headlines.

And he’s winning. He’s getting exactly what he wants, because Americans are too self-centered to care.
