Washington

This is how the media, the Clinton campaign, and the majority of Americans allowed Trump to control the media narrative in 2016. He flooded the news with one outrageous thing after another to the point that nothing had staying power or "meat". Signal-gate is a scandal of massive proportions, which actually has some "teeth". So what to do? Distract and change the narrative with some outlandish proposal like an EO demanding proof of citizenship to vote. (Which is blatantly unconstitutional and can't pass with a simple EO.)

I'm not saying that we don't need people like Marc Elias being on top of this issue, and we need to remain vigilant. But I'm finally starting to figure out Trump's MO and why he's "teflon don", because he basically gish gallops the news.
