But the denialism in OP needs to stop too and it has to be appropriate to call it STUPID. You can't ignore the malignancy when it's in the presidency and hope it will go away. Every single thing Trump says is serious and literal until someone in his administration stops him.
If you just sum it up as being stupid, you ignore the inherent nature of it.
It's intentionally stupid to make you pay attention to instead of anything truly meaningful. The political equivalent of saying something wrong on the internet just so some angry nerd comes along to correct you. He is stoking outrage for the sake of outrage, so that his bedfellows can capitalize on it, and he can mooch off them.
Your theory of attention management is stupid and bad.
