Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

I swear it's just one dead cat after another with this guy. It's like someone is feeding him this nonsense to keep him busy, and by extension, the media and most of us.

He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

That too. Good call, OP.

I encourage everyone to call non-news what it is - a distraction - until it's actually a thing that's happening. In the meantime, consider browsing the AP to read what's actually happening that's being masked by all this noise.

Trump is actually threatening to invade Panama, that's not just a 'distraction.'

Trump actually did try and lock Hillary Clinton up, it wasn't just bullshit.

I despise the extent to which denialism hides in believing that if we ignore or don't report on the facts of Trump's terrifying actions (speeches are actions) that will somehow improve the situation.

Yeah, all his campaign promises and bow he's working on Renaming the Gulf of Mexico because reasons and he's prepping to invade Greenland, apparently.
