5. imho, it's a trial balloon, not a distraction.

he's trying to see if he can get away with it.

and i'm betting the answer is largely yes, in the sense that he'll remain president.

he'll take yet another big p.r. hit, but after that he'll stabilize as the media focuses on other stories like obamacare repeal, tax cuts, some military adventure, etc.


the price he'll pay is that his poll numbers will go down even more, and republicans in congress will avoid him like the plague when campaigning. but benedict donald won't mind that much, he'll still be president, he'll still be able to embezzle and profit from it, and he'll still get media covfefe. he prefers good covfefe, but any covfefe is better than no covfefe.
