Operation Diversion: the real motive behind it [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I have read all the handwringing about yesterday’s sorry White House spectacle. Little mentioned is something that, to me, helps explain this obvious premeditated ambush of a supposed ally in full view of the gathered media, meant for maximum exposure to the public. It is a tactic that Trump has engineered his entire life going back decades, honing his skills with the NYC press — which is, create a diversion from something else when he wants it most. Hmmm ….. now what might he want to deflect attention away from, you may ask yourself?
Whatever AG Pam Bondi’s purpose in wanting to release the Jeffrey Epstein ‘files’ is, she (and certainly you-know-who) has to know whose name and fingerprints are all over them. So he did what he has always done: seek a diversion by creating a media spectacle somewhere else, no matter the diplomatic consequences in this case. I watched it, and the set-up was so obviously planned in advance because Vance’s role in it gave the game away (his words were so well rehearsed and less polished than Trump).
So what is everybody talking about today? Exactly. This is textbook Trump, and those of us who grew up around NYC recognize this tactic of his from way back. If there is something else he wants to create a diversion from, please chime in, but I’m betting it is this.
