I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction.
It’s abuser behaviour.

Trump isn't just firehosing us with lies, he's doing it with crimes and scts of terrorism, too. This is an assault and requires appropriate defense.

📢 O governo está preso num ciclo infernal de comunicação de crise. As fake news não param de surgir; o governo não pode fazer mais nada... só desmentir fake news.
Esse é um novo tipo de sabotagem que a oposição está praticando. Lembram na Segunda Guerra Mundial quando a resistência vivia de sabotar

Right-wing propaganda revolves around a "shoot the messenger" approach to problems that Trump causes and cannot solve.
This is why I smuggle the facts onto Newsmax in plain sight.

The numbers quickly add up but because they're nearly impossible to chase and verify instantly as they happen, response networks quickly become overwhelmed (while also filtering constant false reports)

Distraction and gaslighting are effective disinformation techniques that work very well with firehosing. Please keep that in mind going forward. We have seen these exact tactics before

The bad actors are out in force and this is part of an AI-generated firehosing campaign that exists with Facebook's blessing
Someone just sent me a bunch of examples of these. Apparently the site is flooded with them.
There's gotta be a story behind all of these.

That was always the end goal of the firehosing, and to burn out the journalists. Worked on me so far
In a single term, Trump generated so many scandals, swindles, grand deceptions, foreign intrigues, outrages, catastrophic policy failures, maliciously cruel policy initiatives, and outright crimes that no human being can keep it all properly arranged in their mind.
True, but I would argue that as much as he’s been given a mulligan on Covid, his scandalous last minute pardons have been completely forgotten. Would have ended the career of any other politician.

taking someone with very little craft training, giving them light editorial or just copyedits, and firehosing their debut prose into everyone's faces and then dropping them like a hot potato if it doesn't end well??? that's not actually supportive.
