don't look here..look over there
sadly the egregious "mass media" is in full lockstep with this hitlerian technique..
.:..the post was just after armed federal agents burst into a hotel room to arrest the unarmed Black journalist Don Lemon, and the National Park Service removed a slavery exhibit in Philadelphia. The pattern is stark, including the false birtherism attacks on President Obama, his references to African nations as “s-hole” countries, the new barriers on Black African visas, and false defamatory campaign allegations that Haitian immigrants were eating neighbors’ pets, and it is not a coincidence that the Administration is seizing the 2020 Georgia ballots of largely Black voting precincts.
These reflexes are not simply employing sickening subtle racial dog whistles in cynically coded language, but shouting overtly bigoted tropes at full blast. Yet this post is also emblematic of something beyond racism. It reveals an ever-larger Trumpian technique, which is the diversion of public discourse on topics where he is falling in public support, from inflation and affordability, or the public backlash against murderous secret police ICE raids, to questions over his Administration's handling of the Epstein files, in which Trump is mentioned 38,000 times.
Rather than an inadvertent mistake, this episode epitomizes Trump’s approach to intentionally creating and layering controversy upon controversy as a continual, never-ending cycle of diversion and distraction, which is one of his favorite, recurring tactics he deploys repeatedly to great effect.
As we detail in our new book, Trump's Ten Commandments, published by Worth Books and distributed by Simon & Schuster, this is Trump’s "Wall of Sound" technique in practice—borrowing from Phil Spector's iconic music production technique, characterized by a large, overpowering ensemble of musicians filling the entire sonic spectrum and drowning everything else out. Trump's Perpetual Distraction Machine is an ever-spinning engine of new headlines, intentionally outrageous statements, and sudden moves designed to overwhelm, scatter, and redirect public attention—especially when he's intent on driving attention away from bad news.

Trump’s Obama Video Was a Diversion, Not an Accident
