It is no secret that Donald J. Trump is an embarrassment to the office of the President of the United States of America. I want to say we should not pay his rhetoric any attention, but doing so would be detrimental to the American people. Everyone is up in arms with his latest tweets disparaging women of color in Congress. We know he never gets the whole story correct. We know he believes belittling women is acceptable. Does anyone notice the pattern of behavior where he creates a diversion and distraction to mask failure? Let’s look at recent events where President Trump covers his tracks by creating a diversion as a distraction to obscure a failure on his part.
Diversion to mask failure
What doesn’t Donald Trump want the general public to focus on? He wants to defy the order of the Supreme Court and federal court and add the citizenship question to the 20/20 census. His base of supporters wants him to show strength in doing what he believes is the right thing despite it being illegal. As he continues to state he will get it on the form in time for the rollout, Attorney General Barr suggests there is a way to get it on the form. After a few days, Trump quietly abandons his position because he knows it will be used against him down the line.
Here is another example. Donald Trump rushes to defend former labor secretary Rene Acosta. He said Secretary Acosta was a good man and needed in his administration. All of this transpired over the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case. One, Donald Trump had a direct connection to Epstein, two Acosta aided Epstein to escape federal prosecution by cutting a deal for a lesser charge some time ago. Shortly after that, Secretary Acosta resigns under the suspicion of wrongdoing in the Epstein case. Donald Trump is photographed with Epstein with a little girl. I do not want to assume the little girl is one of the Trump children. If so, did he know to keep his child safe around Epstein, or was she one of the victims and did he partake in any of the activities of his once good friend? These are the kinds of things Donald Trump does not want running through the mind of the American public.
Distraction to mask failure
The ICE raids to round up illegal aliens to ship them back to their country of origin is announced. Why? He couldn’t the get citizenship question on the 20/20 census, so he has to make some other big gesture to show his supporter that he is moving forward with his agenda to get crackdown on immigrants in this country.
The House of Representatives begins backbite because what’s a politician without rhetoric? Everything wrong in America is not about racial tension. It’s about the indecision to create change that will be beneficial to the masses. Of course, Trump sees it as an opportunity to get into the muck by willfully adding insult to injury with the adage to the congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from — not recognizing that three out of the four are American born. For someone whose children were born to immigrants, he’s sure got it in for anyone who is not from a predominantly Anglo-Saxon country. Why? He doesn’t want Americans trying to put two and two together to wonder about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein or Rene Acosta’s departure. As well as the fact that ICE didn’t seize anyone in the big round up.
These are a few tidbits where Donald Trump creates diversion and distraction to mask failure. Careful now, if you think about it too hard, you might have to agree. I understand we have to take any statements made by the President of the United States of America seriously no matter how foul, uninformed, and idiotic. Remember it is not the Art of the Deal at play; it’s the art of diversion. I believe feeding into the disgusting rhetoric is futile. Collectively, we can back someone who can make him a one-term president. #Trumpsgottago
