    That’s exactly the strategy. He’s basically a human (term used loosely) “Denial of Service” attack on our collective psyche.

    Constant output of garbage information we’re forced to evaluate, until we’re overwhelmed, overloaded, and shut down from being mired in so much sheer volume of stupidity.

      And the news cycle can’t keep up or spend appropriate amounts of time/outrage on the things that are criminal, abhorrent and hurting people.
      Throw a bunch of stupid shit to the media, let them feast. Sneak around while they are busy and get the truely hurtful stuff into law (or just skip the law part, and do it).
