They keep saying this and I am still not clear on what whatever Trump's latest banana republic move is supposed to be a distraction FROM

It’s funny when people say everything is a distraction because like some things he does as probably to distract but he just does dumb things that are distracting because he’s an idiot

Also, he’s been talking about taking over DC and other blue cities for awhile, I don’t think this is relate to the Epstein thing

"he's just doing fascism to distract from the Epstein files" "ok... Let's be concerned about both?" "Nah, that's just a distraction"

It's a distraction from the previous distraction. Certain Dem leaders are purely reactive.

He does something ridiculous and outrageous today to distract you from the ridiculous and outrageous thing he did yesterday. Has pretty much lived by this credo his entire adult life.

Yeah, that. He’s a nonstop media bullshit machine because that’s what he’s been for his entire adult life. There is no plan other than “I want to be on TV all the time and I want everyone to talk about me all the time, I’m a giant baby who needs attention at all times from everyone.”

"It's a distraction" they repeat, their eyes firmly riveted to the thing they are calling a distraction.

They don't know either. But if you convince yourself and others that everything's a distraction, you never have to take action, because you're waiting for the *real* thing to happen.

When elites and Dem leadership said the Epstein story was a distraction, they gave away the game that they don’t believe in any of their distraction claims

If we're being SERIOUS the answer is "it's a distraction FOR Trump from his mortality".

Are you suggesting that deploying the military to seize control of the nation’s capital, an unprecedented move explicitly described as a test case for other major cities, is *not* a distraction from the price of eggs? It’s VERY distracting!

In their telling Hitler killed 6M Jews to distract from a personal insecurity.

His other banana republic moves I guess. It’s endlessly frustrating.

Right now it’s the Epstein files because that’s actually a threat to his base (unlike, say, shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue)

Presumably the Epstein stuff based on the timing. You are right. None of this is a distraction. All of this is a shambolic disorganized lurch towards authoritarianism. It is all one project - ending multiparty democracy in the US! The Dem leaders still struggle to get that ALL of it is important!!
