Brace yourselves for the bullshit

The disinformation campaigns are in high gear.

I’m not sure if it’s intentionally part of Trump’s strategy with the press, but he seems to be overloading them with too much information far more quickly than they can handle it. So, their immediate reaction is to freak right out about it. Particularly, when he bypasses them completely and uses twitter or some other means of getting info out. As I said, I’m not certain it’s intentional but it is effective at making them look like boobs and making them look like “fake news”.

The beauty of fake news these days is that it’s anything you want it to be.

    Oh it’s intentional alright.
    The basics of the tactic is a variation of the “Getting inside the opponent’s OODA loop”

    He’s cutting them off at the first ‘O’, Observe and they’re unable to Orient before he hits them again.

    I believe that they know what’s being done to them, but are unable to do anything about it. Thus, they’re freaking out.

    Trump is both spitefully trolling them and playing them like a fiddle.

    And yes, he wants them to look like ridiculous boobs. He’s going to use that for political purposes as I think he’s already in clandestine campaign mode for the mid-term elections and probably laying out strategy for 2020.

    It is intentional.

    I’ll let you in on a secret: Trump is significantly smarter than his opposition assumes, and his opposition is significantly less smart than they believe. One has to judge his behaviors objectively, truly without agenda, to understand this. His opponents cannot be objective. Academia, the press, the Democrat establishment, et al., all subscribe to the bedrock belief that he is dumb and they are smart. To effectively oppose Trump would require them to shake off a belief that is central to their self-perception and to their self-worth: that Trump and his voters are “troglodytes” that Progressivism is the only intelligent philosophy. He takes advantage of their inability to perceive his actions accurately. He is eating their lunch, and will continue to do so until they break out of their mass delusion. I do not believe they will.

    Miles has it.

    Overwhelm the enemy with so much info that it puts them on defense and they don’t know from which direction to defend or even what is real and what is fake.

    Get inside their decision cycle and don’t let them in yours. It’s combat and it ain’t always pretty, although it is art, and possesses a certain beauty.

    You did see all the Marines he hired in top posts right?

    “he seems to be overloading them with too much information far more quickly than they can handle it.”

    The media maggots cant handle information at all. They deal in lies, bias, and sensationalism. They don’t have a clue as to what “information” is.

    I don’t see anything different in Trump’s actions as President over the past two weeks than I saw from any CEO I ever worked for, or even in my own minor efforts as an independent small business operator.

    Multitasking is the name of the game in successfully operating any complex organization, and that is all Trump is doing, on a daily basis. Unlike the politicians who generally move from a real (or fake) crisis and urgent (or well-planned) response in a leisurely manner over days to weeks, with lots of committee meetings and staff studies, in the real world one gets showered by opportunities and problems constantly, without a break, and there is the drudgery of necessary ongoing work to perform atop that new stuff that always intrudes.

    Trump is doing things in a businesslike way, moving from one scheduled event to another and announcing new issues on the fly with tweets, and it is confounding the dullards in DC who expect one committee meeting a day followed by a long lunch and then drinks before dinner.

    If all it takes to confound the press and the politicians is doing things, they should expect to be confounded for as long as Trump is in office.

    What I especialy like is the press fixation on offhand comments by Trump, while he is doing important things that get little attention. He throws a joking aside about crowd sizes after the inaugural while making a major speech at the CIA HQ, or about Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Prayer Breakfast, and those tidbits get reported for hours and days while the substantive stuff gets ignored.

    He can keep this up forever, and the press might never catch on that he is beating them like a rented mule.

  7. rickn8or Says:

    mikee, correct. “I don’t have to know all the answers, I only need to know who has the answers.”

    And it appears Trump knows how a stage magician operates, and has taken a page out of Obama’s “Constant barrage of bullshit” playbook.

    I’m sitting here laughing at the media spinning around on their eyebrows. May they never catch on.

  8. Will Says:

    I think an important part of the problem the various types of Dems have in trying to deal with Trump is the MAJOR fact that he is not a politician. He doesn’t think like one, nor act like one. They have no clue how to react to any of his actions.

    I doubt the real ones, on both sides, will ever figure out how. They have all figured out how to play the regular game in DC. Most of them will never get a handle on the new game, since it took them a lifetime to learn the old one. They are starting from scratch, with all the wrong sort of mental programing.

    The second problem the Left has is that most of them are seeing the political world from a religious perspective. It is a belief system for them, and Trump and the people who voted for him are an assault on their beliefs.

    This is why they are attempting to trash the country. You cannot reason people out of a religious belief. Not in any kind of short time frame, if ever. The years of Obama have cemented this belief in them, especially the young ones, and they are not going to walk away from it. Expect riotous behaviour to get worse over time, not better.

    I’m liking this fast handbasket so far.

    Some will not give up their preconceived bias and canned snark in spite of their own best interest.

    Sad.

    I kept telling anyone who would listen that Trump was a smart successful business magnate, rather than the failed lawyers that tend to make up the political world today.

    He’s used to compromising when necessary, and going in for the kill when possible. He has surrounded himself with some of the best and brightest in the business world, and now has surrounded himself with some of the best and brightest from other branches as well.

    I love saying, “I told you so” to all the nay-sayers.

    I have to agree with most of what was said above. It’s like the media version of the old “rope a dope” in boxing. Human beings can’t stay spooled up at 100% forever. Hes using their own proclivity for outrage to wear them down. I said back during the election he was running as a Twitter Troll, and now he’s governing as a Twitter Troll…

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
