Has there been a single confirmed instance of a "distraction play"? Trump is dumb, impulsive and malevolent. He does deranged things because he likes them and thinks they're good, he's not thinking 12 moves ahead.

We all hope Gaetz is a distraction play but I also thought democrats were going to win so I’m not going to be trusting my gut anymore.

When Trump is successful it's not because he's a tactical genius but because there is no real opposition, because the Dems just love republicans.
He doesn’t think ahead, and he’s too insecure to surround himself with smart people. (I’ll take dumb + evil over smart + evil any day of the week.) In short, we’re gonna need a bigger clown car.
chess, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Trump picked Gaetz (and everyone else in his cabinet) because when he says jump, they’ll all ask how high. Loyalty is the only qualification that matters.
Same is true of the term “dead cat”, whilst certain actions might, on occasion, act as one they are never intentional IMO.
Party leadership was energized for about two days in January 2021, then lost the urgency and drifted.
