"That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that realityjudiciously, as you willwe'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors
and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

Trump has applied this principle with steroids.
We are so busy chasing down yesterday's ten scandals that we forget the hundreds that came before. Meanwhile he's creating ten new scandals to distract us from what we were scandalized about just yesterday.
It is Gish-galloping reality.
