A lot of folks didn’t learn this lesson during Trump’s first term, apparently:
Focus on what he does, not what he says.
He’s going to say a lot of things, but those things are meant to distract you from what he’s doing.

Nobody is talking about the Department of Grifting Efficency opening today?
EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS AN ATTEMPT AT MANIPULATION.
1. Who is he trying to manipulate?
2. For what purpose?
Calling him out on lies or craziness misses the point. Truth and sanity mean nothing. Manipulation is all about power.
The same is true for MAGA media.
We aren’t even a week in & democracy is dying. Not just hyperbole now, it’s actually HAPPENING. Example: WHO, NIH, FDA, etc being on a comm blackout?
You can find a list of all of the promises he made and how few he kept in his first term using a search engine.
ultimately his goal is to do as much as he can to enrich himself at all times.

His incoherent , word salad method of talking is just a mess.
YES !!!
He Has Shown Us Who He is & how HE Does it !!!
.
Honestly, that's the most demoralizing part.
Even impulsive words often reveal their true desires—like when he said he didn’t need votes and that Elon knows 'vote-counting computers.'
Dismissing what he says is dangerous; he's telling us his plans if left unchecked.
I am not watching the trump show to hear the latest lies.
Creation of power vacuums, and attempting the destruction of international rules based order.
My dad tried to say it was ai 🤐
With just a few minor lyric adjustments to The Who - lol dont sue me -
We won't get fooled again
Won't get fooled again, no, no

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Tom Petty had it wrong.
When they leave,
That’s the hardest part.
I don’t like what it says about my country.

Democrats who won't fight need to be removed from office
That's why Putin loves him, too. Useful idiot. Tell him he's smart and pretty and he'll hand over the keys to the kingdom.

They can’t go after everyone, but nobody seems to want to take the risk they’ll be the next target.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Disconnect from all media that offer outrage and despair without solutions.
Hope you are doing ok, sir. Been watching the headlines and DJT going after career government workers just doing their jobs. 😢💔
So, yeah - he is trying to distract but he's also clearly out of his mind with vengeance and dementia.
I guess it’s a process.
He didn’t say that!!
My mom was waiting to join a cancer clinical trial that has probably been canceled.
Trump also raised prescription drug costs.
Trump also just stopped FDA from being able to communicate about dangerous food recalls.
But, like Jefferson said, "People deserve the government they elect" and collectively, this is what we deserve.
The first three days of this shitshow were just as awful as everyone predicted. Forgive and forget is going to be difficult.
He's just getting revved up, more crazy is about to come.
The best we can do is to STOP barking at the smokescreen.
He's only using those attacks on civil rights because they cause us to react and lose focus on the real agenda. We desperately need the news media to tell BOTH stories.
If the establishment has the ascendancy, then they will revert back to your standard politician, albeit one who is MAGA enough to tap into the stupid.
If they are fully into the Kool Aid then I can see Ivanka being groomed...
If they’ve fully embraced his cult they’ll be on board with dynastic succession…and I’ve picked Ivanka because Don and Eric are far too stupid and she is clearly his favourite, even ignoring the creepy vibes he puts out.
Listening to what he says is for fools and media.
Democrats should have never stopped saying that
He’s actions on J6 is who he is we failed to address it correctly
Shame on Democrats for failing to win the messaging
Idiots for Bipartisanship bullshit
We need to focus on resisting everything.
It boosts his ego, power illusion
He lies about it, pretends he knows "nothing about it" but goes right to what's resisted
Election interference
Election denial BIG LIE
Jan 6/21
Abortion rights
J6 pardons
Cabinet nominees

We were told Greenland was a nothing burger, more than once, and to look away.
It’s not.
He has A LOT of people working on their own agendas behind the closed doors. He rambles on about what’s going on there. He can’t keep secrets!
It’s unwise to ignore anything he says.
Trans people
Immigrants
Federal workers (Many of which are disabled veterans)
Now everyone else is becoming a victim.
He’s a buffoon that means what he says , he’s just too dumb to realize he can’t!!
That and his handler talk him out of it because he’s a fool with no actual thoughts!!!
He’s a moronic simpleton!!! That’s his strategy! and that’s why it only works in the US!!!
We’ve got this!
