. @jahimes.bsky.social makes the case that when Donald Trump says something outrageous to get attention, it's because there's something else going on that he doesn't want to get attention.

I still remember you were the first congressman to come out, five minutes after Biden's speech, and say he wasn't fit to run. There's absolutely no point in complaining about Trump.
Reporters interested in conveying the seriousness of the fire hose of shit might consider just starting each program with a list of current Trump scandals and highlight which ones you plan to cover in the next 30 minutes. At least remind us how much you don’t have time to get to.
Thank you Congressman - I have been shouting about the Trump -spectical for months while he dissolves the “administrative state” , FEMA Dept of Ed, EPA, FDA, and more! But Alex points have to be discussed because the voting public need to know the size of his ass-wholeness!
I’ve said this all along. It’s almost always a ruse to blindside something else he’s got going on. But sometimes he just says dumb shit because he is a….
Yes, Jack Smith's report, Jimmy Carter's funeral, the orange idiot's sentencing on Friday at 9:30am, further investigation and coverage of his unqualified Cabinet and other nominees, Heritage Foundation plans to implement Project 2025.... Take your pick.
It’s more than this though. When he returns to a topic like Greenland, he has been instructed to do that, to normalize the notion of territorial expansions like Putin is trying in Ukraine and will likely try again in other places.
Alex, you get extra points tonight for using "cockamamie". And there'll be plenty more opportunities to use that word over & over again once tRUmp's at it full time, 24/7.

47s crazy talk doesn't have to make sense - it's like an ink bomb from an octopus, meant to disorient a threat + why Biden lost the debate because a normal brain pics out a topic around which to organize a response. It's called "Gish Gallop" and Heather Cox R. explains it.
Ever heard of "Gish gallop"? I didn't think so. It's a strategy that 47 continues to use to full advantage, like an octopus unleashing an ink bomb. Heather Cox Richardson enlightened the public after the one and only debate. The reason Biden lost was bc. it was impossible to make sense of 47 spew.
