    Distractions. Diversions… The concentration camps got wiped off the news cycle. The protests got wiped off the news cycle.

    Every cycle they have a few of their guys play the other side. Like a good cop bad cop routine. Works every time.

      His fanbase just LOVES the hole idea of punishing immigrants, and that includes putting them in camps.

      I think you’re confusing your own reaction and that of the bubble you live in (who call it “concentration camps”, which curiously, was not used for Guantanamo Bay back when the President was a Democrat though there too it made sense) with those of the Trump fanbase who elected him mainly because he repeatedly said he was going to “stop” immigrants.

      The relentless implying that “Trump is a Pedo” that’s happenning with this Administration’s reaction to demands for release of the Epstein Files, when his very support base was been repeatedly made to rage against Democrats with “pedo stories” in the Past, to distract them from something which they actually like and want, doesn’t sound at all like a good strategy.

      This seems to me like something which is far more logically explained by Incompetence than by Malice.

      I love how liberals think that Trump’s antics are a 57d chess game to hide his brilliant “master plan”.

      Ffs, it’s not a distraction, it’s the thing.

        There are just so many fucking things that everything is simultaneously a distraction, and the thing being distracted from
