Trump’s strategy to get his way: declare one fake ‘emergency’ after another

The intelligent American recognizes this immediately. It’s the MAGA Americans who fall for it every f****** time.

Declare enough fake emergencies, and some of those emergencies become real! like... the Iran emergency, or the inflation emergency, or the budget emergency!

This was and has always been the republican plan to keep power. How many times have they used emergencies to get their way on judicial confirmations, budget, government surveillance, etc?

Create problem. Point at big scary problem. Blame problem on someone else. Spend lots of money on problem. Stop the problem you created. Tell everyone how smart you are for solving the problem you created. Then repeat. Keep the circus moving.

Propaganda 101: You are being attacked.

This is typical narcissistic behavior. They stir the pot to gain (a) control or (b) attention.

This has been Bannon and Miller's strategy from the beginning (used by Hitler's mouthpiece Goebbels). Flood the airways with at least 3 chaotic announcements per day to keep people scared confused and divided. It works.

cant wait for the next admin to declare Trump family a emergency threat to America and send them all to gitmo

Release the Epstein files. Don Trump rapes children

Epstein

That has been analyzed already back in ww2. It was Hitler's strategy. Steve Bannon used it already in Trump's first term: just flood with sh*t. Don't ever let the citizens rest. Everyday is a new shock. Always blame the opponent. The bigger lie the better. They have been studying this at Herritage and are repeating it.

I wonder if the plan is "National Emergency - Cancel the Midterms "

What has shaken my resolve is SCOTUS playing along

Pedo POTUS: "we won with the poorly educated, I love the poorly educated' 2016

>With such a dishonest figure in the White House, the supreme court should see its role as not just saying what the law is, but saying what the truth is. Misses the point rather badly. First, it isn't just that lower courts "get first crack" at establishing the facts, it's that the higher courts are not generally free to disregard facts established by those lower courts. Second, it's not just a precedent thing. This Supreme Court, deeply corrupt as several of its members are, and vestigial as its fact finding apparatus is, would just as soon find a Fox News report to be true as go out and do any detailed observation of real conditions. The Court's decisions already portray its version of "what the truth is". They portray a reality where "the truth" is that the Founders wanted a monarchical President with broad immunity for legal consequences, where "the truth" is that states run their own elections except when the court feels it gets to decide, not the state, who is really an insurrectionist, and where "the truth" is that no amount of abrogating the rights of disfavored groups really counts as a civil rights concern. Offering more power to a criminal and compromised Court is part of how we got here in the first place.

It's just the politics version of "I declare bankruptcy" which was a tool he employed often

Duh

During Bush era it was "Fear". 

His pants are in a constant state of emergency, so everyone has to suffer.

Troops will land Saturday during our protest of this orange ball of shit.

Or - create real emergencies.

That’s been his strategy both terms so far.

I still like hearing that Iran is winning… I’m pretty sure the oil crisis in the Middle East was planned… It’s severely helping western oil producers. Canada has got all our allies covered when it comes to crude oil and LNG. Buy Canadian! 🇨🇦

Well, duh.

How bout those Epstein files?

The real problem is : OK, so you've declared an emergency. For PR reasons you also need to show that you've solved your emergency while it is still fresh in people's memories, that way you reinforce your reputation as "master of the deal". To do this you have to achieve some sort of improvement in the situation you created and/or chose to throw a spotlight on. But when your entire team is made up of incompetent ideologues and sycophants, who only care about preserving their own position on the dear leaders "Nice" list, it is incredibly unlikely that any actual progress will be made, especially in such a short time. So you find yourself needing to distract the people from the thing you just distracted them to. And to avoid the cry wolf syndrome, you cannot just replace it with a repetitive crisis. You must do something bigger so they cannot focus on the old thing even if they wanted to. It's no surprise that this constant need to escalate emergencies generally leads to people who start to think that fabricating a casus belli and starting a war is not such a bad idea. In a war, everyone bands together, usually even a significant percentage of the opposition party grudgingly supports the leadership. So here we are, one small step away from a ground war with perhaps the most formidable avowed foe of the US, and it's not going well... What's worse is he can't even just capitulate and end the war, because then the conversation quickly moves to "Why did we do it in the first place?" "How are we better off now?" or the ultimate problem for him "OK, war is over, so now we can get back to the Epstein files."

So, he’s essentially just escalated crapping his pants to a global level.

Wow…didn’t I read this strategy in a book published in 1949? And in several movie themes?

And I think he will use the strategy to try and cancel elections.

And now we get our very own REAL emergency

You didn't figure this out almost a year ago?

To be fair, in declaring his fake emergencies, he usually finds some way to turn them into a reality. Complain about voting --> introduces SAVE act, disenfranchises 70+ million voters. Complain about illegals --> tears people away from their homes and shoots innocents dead in the streets. Complain about inflation --> introduces tariffs that destroy American jobs, further driving up inflation, now farmers have no one to sell crops to. Declares gas prices too high --> starts war in Middle East, drives up oil. Declares that Biden is too concerned with Israel --> Starts war in Middle East, on behest of Israel. Declares government a swamp to be drained --> instills incompetent cronies in every position, weakening the entire government with TV host figureheads who can't run anything. There's tons of stuff I missed, sure, but Trump "declaring fake emergencies" usually leads to real ones. He's the anti-Christ.
