6. Trump's habit of slinging shiny objects around for the media to chase

seems to be working. It's an action-producing distraction Trump can count on, every single time. Bang on that bell, trained squirrels, and I'll see that you get plenty of nuts.

The Trump vs. Mika tweet was newsworthy, but I'm not convinced it merited 24/7 coverage. TV panel after panel after panel dove deeply into the political, cultural, historical implications of Trump's tweet. Does he hate women? Why the fixation on blood? Too bad we don't have time to talk about health care. What about Melania's anti-bully campaign? Who can make Trump stop tweeting?

By the way....what's happening in Mosul?
