Trump is desperate to change the attention.

A Wag The Dog scenario and we will see right through it.

If we could all just ignore The Orange One, he would melt to the ground like the Wicked Witch of the West.

But we can't.

You know he scheduled his rally this week to coincide with the Mueller testimony that was supposed to be held on the same day. He will do some bullshit thing or other - hopefully not a full blown war - because his needy self needs to be the #1 news story every day.

I do wish they would back-burner him more. Because none of it is actual Capital N News.
