You’re probably seeing the best persuasion you will ever see from a new president. Instead of dribbling out one headline at a time, so the vultures and critics can focus their fire, Trump has flooded the playing field. You don’t know where to aim your outrage. He’s creating so many opportunities for disagreement that it’s mentally exhausting. Literally. He’s wearing down the critics, replacing their specific complaints with entire encyclopedias of complaints. And when Trump has created a hundred reasons to complain, do you know what impression will be left with the public?

He sure got a lot done.

Even if you don’t like it.

In only a few days, Trump has made us question what-the-hell every other president was doing during their first weeks in office. Were they even trying?

[Political Junkie Too]

This should not be confused with Obama's strategy of "manufactured crisis."

Obama would manufacture a crisis to get people riled up, and then use that crisis to push a solution that would not otherwise get passed via normal means.

In Trump's case, we are already at crisis; he's just addressing so many of them simultaneously that the opposition can't organize an effective resistance. Plus, it helps that he's working on fulfilling campaign promises instead of trying to sneak something through that the people don't want.

Isn’t it marvelous to see?

The press is still nursing butthurt about who gets the first question at the daily WH dump and how many people didn’t come to inauguration a week ago, while Trump is kicking ISIS to the curb, ordering the wall and the pipelines to get underway, stiffening congressional resolve to stop funding abortion, giving congress a chance to spank the UN, preparing to nominate a USSC nominee, getting the unions together in the WH for a standing ovation, meeting and giving corporate chiefs 30 days to come up with a massive jobs plan, personally visiting CIA and Homeland agencies, killing the obamacare mandate enforcement, and tweeting a dozen headline stories a day

Oh and the WH web page? Press 1 for English, Press 2 for English, for English press any number

Now, on the 7th day - Will he rest?

Much of this is the way Trump operates.

I wonder if a little of this tactical process is from ...Bannon.

[Claud]

Great analysis!

We can help Trump with this. Create our own little mini-outrages (within the due bounds of morality of course). Tick leftists with one thing after another, one outrage after another. If they try to pin down one thing you said, double down with another outrage.

Blanket this whole flippin country with so many things to be offended about that the whole things just collapses under its own weight.

I am actually waiting for the outrage if and when Planned Parenthood is defunded.

According to another FReeper, Trump and his people were doing the same shock-and-awe tactics prior to the Inauguration — doing so much the press people couldn’t keep up.

Even though his military training didn’t go beyond high school, apparently he was paying close attention to strategy while he was there.

[Crucial]

It’s right out of the Clintons own playbook, to overwhelm political opponents with a flurry of actions that you don’t know where to start attacking.
