(A quick sidebar on the this-is-all-a-strategic-distraction from gun control or immigration, etc., argument: No, it isn’t. Is there anything you have seen in Trump’s time in office that would lead you to believe that he is capable of that sort of strategic planning and execution? It’s readily apparent at this point that Trump is just saying stuff – and then reacting to how those things land with the general public. There is no three-dimensional chess. There’s not any kind of chess being played.)

Donny is all gut instinct, not deliberate strategy. Yes, maybe when he says crazy stuff it has the added benefit (for him) of distracting from other things, but he’s ALWAYS saying crazy stuff and there’s ALWAYS things going on they want to distract attention from. That’s just a built-in feature of Trumpism.
