Trump Is Trying to Distract from His Big Losses

Mike Allen quoted former Clinton advisor Doug Sosnik on what President Trump is trying to accomplish by attacking professional athletes who protest during the national anthem: “One of Trump’s typical moves is to toss a bomb out of nowhere to deflect what is really bothering him, in the hopes that the press will be distracted.”

He added: “There is a good chance that the candidate he endorsed and campaigned for will lose in the Alabama Senate primary. On top of that, it looks like … another failed Republican attempt to repeal Obamacare. So he figures that the shows on Sunday focusing on his fights with professional athletes is more appealing than a discussion about how he is becoming a loser.”

1. I mean, either way, it's going to come back around

There's no way to avoid the Alabama election coverage when it happens and when the ACA repeal stuff crashes and burns this week, it'll be wall-to-wall coverage. He's not really distracting from anything.

2. I think trumps attack on players is going to backfire. Maybe not today--

There has been a gradual up tick in --players supporting the knee bend.

4. i'd agree, except that he does this crap *all the time*

so it can't be a calculated move to distract from specific problems.

then again, he's always got so many problems that there's always a need to distract, so....

5. "Trying to distract from his losses"?

By fanning the flames in an argument he can't win? He thinks he can win this argument by yelling louder. This will be his biggest, most visible loss of his lifetime. Keep it up, asshole.
