From teasing Canada over a lake to abruptly referencing Kim Jong-un, President Donald Trump’s recent diversions speak volumes.
The seasoned reality television personality has long relied on a simple strategy: when faced with unfavorable coverage, he simply changes the narrative.
Yet his latest stunts appear strategically focused on seizing the news cycle, diverting attention from the Iran conflict and economic concerns as November’s midterms approach.
“This president thrives on diversions,” observed William Galston of the Brookings Institution.
The Iran conflict continues to drag on President Trump’s approval ratings, which consistently poll in the low 30s, with no end to the conflict as it approaches the six-month mark.
According to The Atlantic, the White House is pursuing a strategy to background the conflict, prioritizing less prominent economic measures over further military action against Tehran.
