The smokescreen from the Trump is nonstop

Hello DU Community!
I recommend that we ignore the circus from the Felon and his appointees.
It’s all a smokescreen to distract from the upcoming corruption, thievery, payola, and knee-caping of social, environmental and educational departments. I expect Dem Congressional leaders and analysts will signal when to start our fight.
We’ll be smart, strategic and effective!

1. Agree. We should know in advance that he and his team will distract us but we'll keep our eyes on the prize.

in past presidential administrations.........Reagan was the front man or puppet for HWBush and his CABAL to do all kinds of bad things behind the smoke and mirrors. Even Treasonous things.

WBush was the front man or puppet for Cheney/Rumsfeld and their CABAL to do all kinds of bad things, and they were so brazen they didn't even bother with the smoke and mirrors, including starting a totally corrupt war......probably treasonous acts also....

believe it if I didn't see it. No one could ever be as corrupt as him and his fucking administration. Not once but twice.

The media hopes they can offer this kind of headline instead of offering detailed coverage of "corruption, thievery, payola, and knee-caping of social, environmental and educational departments" per the OP.

Trump is a bigly genius ideas man, he can generate them by the zillion, but most of his ideas are vapor that easily blows away with a bit of thought by rational people.

Delete any of his ideas that are insane, not doable, impractical, and you are left with nothing.
Nothing left after you do that and the grift, revenge and intended destruction of the American Republic and the destruction of your way of life becomes painfully evident.

Want to fight?
Go ahead!
I'm happy to sit back (*) and watch the upcoming Trump Train self-destruct from incompetence and infighting.

(*) I'm in Australia, but it is already evident the indigestion from Trumpism is going to affect the rest of the world too.
