One of Donald Trump’s greatest strengths is his ability to repeat himself endlessly. It takes some doing. At 9 p.m. tonight, he says, he’ll give the world a big primetime showstopper announcement. It’s expected that he will reveal something about foreign influence or operations in “the stolen election” of 2020.
Escalate, threaten, befuddle, try to find an off-ramp on more agreeable terms, and if necessary bore the enemy into submission
We don’t know exactly what, but we can be sure Trump will reiterate that he actually won three presidential elections, not two, and that he’ll use this stunt to push The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) Act. That’s currently his pet obsession. And Trump just keeps going until he gets what he wants.
But it’s all becoming quite boring. The public is inured to his surprises, even when they are shocks. Apathy has set in.
In the Donald’s first term, Democrats successfully latched on to the term “Trump fatigue” to describe how voters felt about his endless and often social-media-led drama. In his second term, that fatigue risks turning into exhaustion.
