Showing Original Post only (View all)Is this "tweet storm" a gigantic distraction?? [View all]
Yes, what Trump tweeted today is appalling and debases the office of the presidency, even more than he already has. However, I can't help but wonder if this isn't some contrived way of sucking the air out of the news cycle to divert attention from something bigger behind the scenes. Perhaps I'm giving President Orange Julius too much credit, but it seems convenient, considering all of the bigger issues currently ongoing (i.e. The wealthcare bill in the senate, Pruit at the EPA approving a pesticide that causes birth defects, the ongoing Syria issue)

It's not planned or unplanned. The man is crazy and it just happens. No rhyme or reason.

He does these things to distract from unpopular legislation that is up for a vote.
