What will trump do very soon to change the news cycle?

Fire a general then announce he'll replace him with Michael Flynn, or will he do something even worse, start a conflict by doing something in this country then claim it was Iran? He has used this tactic along with Putin before. He's very , very desperate as this virus is exposing his failures even more daily now, and every day he speaks or tweets he's driving voters away from him, and all republicans . He soon will looking at driving us into a depression crisis that he and republicans are responsible for.

then replace RBG with one of his flunkies. That should cause enough chaos to keep him in office beyond January 20.

I'mma watch for the squares that say

Fire Defense Secretary Esper
Show up at an NFL game
Have Barr bring faked-up charges on... [fill in name]

In the back of my mind I can't shake the fact that Putin has a number of pieces on the board, Trump is only of of many... and he can sacrifice a pawn very easily. I could see Putin maneuvering some kind of 'win' for Trump...

I'm sure he'll be rage tweeting some nonsense about players kneeling, and other racist crap. He might even go lower than calling the NFL players bastards as he did in the past. We should all realize that is a distraction. We know he's a racist. He should be ignored if he tries any distraction tactic. Almost 200,000 people are dead because he lied. Millions infected. The job loss, the business loss. He bears the brunt of the blame for where we are. Keep the focus there.

The power he has is awesome, and he will wield it without moral or legal limits. We have a monster in charge.

Have a bunch of white people dressed in black face instigate a riot at night in a major city, send police to get it under control and somebody gets killed.
