We knew they'd do something big to eclipse the impeachment activity

So Syria is it. For now. And we’re supposed to believe that Republicans are SO disappointed.

Fuck. Them. All.

It is an excellent diversion for the media and that is working. But it can backfire too. I think he wants out of the presidency. He is so unhappy and just wants to go hang out at Mar a Lago and play golf with his friends.

to the list of presidential misfeasance. It's satisfying to see even a lot of GOPers getting riled up about it.

"Doing something big" implies a strategic goal. Nothing Trump ever does suggests strategic intent. It reflects an impulsive gut response.

If you think today is helping Trump, I don't know what to tell you. Christ, you've got Fox News blasting him over it.

Mostly he just reacts. The fact that he has done more than one stupid or insane thing at the same time doesn't mean that he planned one to distract from another; he just did them because he wanted to. Nobody is going to forget about either the Ukraine scandal or the Syria mess, but we can count on Trump to do more stupid things in the near future - none of which will be intended as distractions. He does stupid stuff just because he's stupid.
