George Lakoff explains how Trump uses social media as a weapon to control the news cycle

[Kirk Lover]

8. Everybody except the deplorables realizes this. As much as we want to you can't just ignore

The DOTUS. And in my opinion ...all this framing and 'deflecting' isn't doing him one damn bit of good. In fact, I think he's making his situation much worse for himself. Everybody except the dumb deplorables sees right through this PATHETIC charade.

I also take exception that the author says this:

Imagine keeping a steely focus on what actually matters: the dismantling of our government; Republicans robbing the middle class and poor to pay off the rich; Robert Mueller’s criminal investigation into the Trump Organization’s betrayal of America.


I'm sorry but what he says in the above paragraph is constantly in the news and always being talked about (He also forgot to mention healthcare) I see no problem with also addressing a 'deflective' tweet or whatever....it's like hey we can do both...and hey we realize which issues are more important.
