KRASNOV's lifetime of marketing and *stunts* running out
I did due diligence in sort of keeping up with what the public village was talking about by viewing 2-3 seasons of the KARDASHes and The Apprentice - both after they had been on the air a while and his long before he inflicted himself nationally. And my usual little personal boycotting back then took the form of turning away in horror when I chanced on his aisles of ties and shirts.
*** So, since 2015, KRASNOV's constant tabloid mania and daily *STUNTS* were easily recognizable techniques of his bottomless marketing of a lifetime. Lies, immature bullying, ridiculing, mocking, needling, stealing what worked for others, hit-and-run, - anything to grab attention, and never acknowledging what didn't work, anything for any kind of headline.
*** But when he took control of the national scene, with the national resources at his disposal, the *STUNTS* got bigger and bigger. Hence, the *STUNTS* of PUTEEN on U.S. soil with honors, poke in the eyes of allies.
And the most recent big *STUNTS* have fallen flat: This PUTEEN one, and the Slouching Military parade. KRASNOV doesn't care if things fail, just ON to the next thing. And in his case, about the only biggest *STUNT* left is to drop nuclear.

“The Gipper Lives!”
Trillin was no fan of Reagan and said so during the 80’s. A lot of people, especially in the press, didn’t.
In his column Calvin says that he found George Gipp (Reagan played him in “Knute Rockne: All American”) alive and well in a retirement home in New Jersey- I think. Gipp tells him Notre Dame really wasn’t that good. After a 8-2 or 6-4 session, Rockne just waited a couple weeks and then started talking to the press about their undefeated National Championship Season that had just passed. No one wanted to anger Rockne or the “Subway Alumni” who bought newspapers so they went along with it. Knute’s legend grew.
Same thing for Trump. After the dummit 
and the parade he just came out and declared success Victory!!! His press are the RW X influencers who immediately follow suit. Immediate rewriting of ….yesterday. MAGA and much of the media soak it up.
