He has successfully diverted our attention from Manafort and Cohen with his disgraceful treatment of Senator McCain.

(42,641 posts)Trump can divert a corporate media with the attention span of a fruit fly, but Mueller continues his work.

(4,112 posts)But the media certainly has stopped talking about it, and thus, it's out of the public consciousness.

As it's simply an inaccurate premise.

That's what Robert Mueller did today.
If I were the one who got to write the book on this man, it's title would be 'Expressionless'. Because find me a picture of the man recently that doesn't look like he's just watching the crimes get comitted, and taking it all in.
Yep thought so.

(7,188 posts)So until there is actual news from Mueller or other prosecutor, I am okay with talking about something else.
That said, I am very upset that the something else is McCain's death and Trump's disrespect of McCain.

(146,317 posts)He's also a cowardly, sniveling bully. He has had his comeuppance now, and has been forced to lower the flag to half staff.

(40 posts)Trump is an idiot and not a "master" anything.
Blame the media that always follows his lead.
And as another commenter said, McCain just died. Of course his name leads the news.

(37,364 posts)was visceral. McCain made him less without effort. It was hard for Trump to be shown up by a man he deemed to be a loser.

(37,748 posts)Sure, some half-wit will purchase the painting, but the bonobo still ain't an artist, and still can't dress himself.
But I gotta admit... watching people subscribe machinations of genius-level mastery to him is pretty damned funny.

(28,264 posts)Face it: trump is just a human being without a shred of decency in his entire makeup. He's no more a "master manipulator" than he is the master of "the art of the deal."

(59,587 posts)And that for, what, six hours' worth of partial attention deflection?
He may have briefly jogged the camera, but at the cost of proving to anyone capable of fogging a mirror that he's even more of a petty, petulant, vindictive asshole than anyone had thought possible.
The chimp threw some shit, and it got tossed right back at him.
