Trump is using his attack on Rob Reiner to distract people again from Epstein and his ACA debacle [View all]

. It's very frustrating how people keep falling for the old trick bag when it comes to Trump. It's very predictable whenever he has a failure or is involved in a scandal he will rachet up inflammatory attacks whether it's racism, sexism, xenophobia, or personal attacks like he did on Reiner to get people to stop talking about his screw ups and failures. It's very frustrating to see this play out every single damn time.

I'm not saying what he did to Reiner shouldn't be condemned but I'm saying people need to continue to attack him on his policy failures and Epstein and not ever take the foot off the gas when it comes to this. This is the only way to weaken him. When you respond to his inflammatory attacks he regains strength again.
