Whose focus are you talking about? I'd say this applies only to the media and the public -- which is not a bad thing.
This is a distraction in the White House. They are not functioning on all cylinders when time must be devoted to putting out fires. It is hard enough to get things accomplished in the Federal Government without having to spend so much wasted energy. We want the White House to get things done without distractions. I am glad so much has been accomplished in one short year, despite the wasted energy on distractions designed to slow down Trump’s agenda.
