14. Everything he does is an attempt to distract

From his inept idiocy. He's in way over his head without a tool chest. Attack, distract, confabulate, rinse and repeat, thats his modus operandi. He's the ultimate con, smoke, mirrors and prestidigitation.

He's an idiot propped up by sycophants. We should expect nothing from him but hateful chaos. It's what, as a psychopath, he thrives on. Creating pain is his idea of a good time, that's how psychologically disturbed he is. It's a shortcoming for us not to clearly see this. He is best ignored and bulldozed under.

Our most serious mistake is attempting to explain or make sense of his madness. Our attention is best utilized focusing elsewhere. The more we discuss and debate him and his prestidigitation, the more he wins and we lose. Attention is our most vital tool. Whatever we focus our attention on we strengthen. He doesn't deserve the time of day. We need to focus on GOTV!!
