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.
It’s the sane washing that needs to go. Stop normalizing the bad behavior of malignant narcissism and criminality.
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.
