“Maybe Trump’s campaign brought it up to set up another conflict and keep his name in the news.”
That’s stretching it a little bit, don’t you think?
At this point, it would be difficult for Trump to keep his name out of the news, even if he wanted to.
My point was that no speculation as to the initiative behind this non-news eruption can be shown to be either correct or incorrect. All anyone has is assumptions and opinions.
I don’t think either of my proposals is likely, either, but they can’t be proved wrong.
