And that is part of the intention. And to utterly crush current and emerging counter narratives. And probably to forestall some shit that was slated to go down.
Trump is one of THE most adept media operators in modern history. Never miss that when trying to work out what he’s up to. Believe me - this coming from people I know who have known Trump a long time - he will not be beaten. Losing is not in his DNA - even when things don’t work out perfectly for him, he still finds ways to gain partial victories. He is wily like a fox and always plays the long game. I’d NEVER bet against Trump, so I view everything through that lens.
