*TRUMP IS WEIGHING RESIGNATION*

[calimary]

36. I saw that, too. And it could be just a rumor.

HOWEVER... it's good that stuff like this is starting to circulate on the internet. People are gonna see it, talk about it, refer to it, and spread it. That's good stuff. Remember that lesson that LBJ is said to have taught political people everywhere. When he was just starting his political career in Texas, in an early campaign he said his opponent slept with pigs. And he knew it wasn't true. He was asked about it. Being true or false wasn't the point. The point was "make him deny it."

It can be an advantage to have that meme starting to circulate. The press will inevitably pick up on it, and ask about it. Which means it'll wind up among the punditry, kicking it around every chance they get. And the more exposure it gets with the public, the more it becomes "a thing." That may start growing legs. It plants the idea in more people's heads and helps make it more of a credible concept. People who wouldn't have thought of that suddenly consider it. It enters the realm of possibility that way, and MAN does it put the target on the defensive! You don't want that kind of talk starting to grow legs around you. THAT'S not what you want people talking about. AT ALL. Particularly if your "presidency" is all surface image with nothing of substance or value behind it.
