The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction.

hate to start off Monday by complaining about a NYT headline, but boy does their prissy house style render it incapable of describing reality
