11. Bullshit

Sorry, but you really need to understand that he and his supporters hate you, they fucking despise you. Thus, if you and other "delicate snowflakes" are put off by his comment, then they have succeeded.

19. His supporters are the minority - Funded by the upper .001%

So the funding doesn't give two shits about the majority of supporters other than to use them to get tax breaks. In addition, the media is controlled by those providing the funding. So with 30% and the media, they can still do damage.

2. His "distractions" never seem to make him look very good, though.

If they're distractions, he's got all the wisdom of the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.

I honestly think it's just Trump's own lunacy playing out front and center. There's no greater scheme or plan in his mind.

4. I don't think it is a distraction with respect to him hiding anything or being deceptive.

I think he is furious at how TrumpCare is going. He is simply lashing out as he has always done. Guy has no impulse control. The media and the people are so far up his ass that there is no way for him to distract to the point of everyone missing something.

16. I'm not sure if this was before or after the tweets

But Mika kept referring to Trump having tiny hands. That might have driven him overboard. Of course, he claims not to watch Morning Joe but that's likely just another lie.

7. Agree it's a distraction. More successful here than Ivanka's

display of concern for human trafficking.

But Rump's feelings are undoubtedly hurt by beautiful Mika's manipulative blowing hot and cold on him, and he's lashing out. Good for Morning Joe ratings, but my guess is totally irrelevant to the business of serious men.

10. It's hard to tell what's "distraction" and what's "Trump is just batshit crazy."

I can see this being distraction from the "healthcare" fiasco. It only has !2-17% support TOTAL. And, with this asshole, it could be a myriad of other things, including something we don't yet know about. But, unfortunately, it could just as easily be another ego-driven temper tantrum by the thin-skinned, syphilitic man-toddler. We all know how petty and vindictive he is.

12. I agree it's a distraction, but he is so obsessed with the investigation

That I think he is trying to distract continuously, not necessary that we get a new revelation.

13. I don't think Trump has the mental discipline

I don't think Trump has the mental discipline to attempt a distraction.

He's the jerk at a somber funeral commenting loudly on football game he's watching on his phone during the eulogy... it may be distracting, but just not intended as such.

17. His entire presidency is a distraction...

...to credible, dignified, and effective governance.

Hell, even his fellow GOPers on Capitol Hill don't want him to participate in Trumpcare negotiations, as he's more of a hindrance than a help.

18. I think it's the real Trump, albeit also a distraction

He obviously sees blood red when he really gets pissed off and lets his little fingers translate his red rage at women into some blood related translation.
