In reply to the discussion: Trump was 100% successful in meeting his strategic goals yesterday. Again the media falls for it. [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)17. He did more than succeed by a day, no questions were asked during the debate
about obvious criminal tax evasion including the $ 70 million deduction for the loss of an asset that he declared he had no retained value but in fact kept 5% in violation of the law.
And when it comes up on Wed or Thursday he will simply do something outrageous again like fire the head of the CDC or run a blockade of Valenzuela.
He was successful at a critical point and he will continue to do it for 5 more weeks.
On Monday there were a hundred threads on the tax story and dozens of stories on the channels and today its wiped clean as people are outraged by how nasty, buffoonish and racist he is, all things that were previously established.
