If not POTUS, his PR team is ruthlessly ingenious: flooding the world with absurdities triggers cognitive overload, and people stop seeing the real story. While we debate the spectacle (e.g. Gaza Riviera), reality moves on (Gaza is emptied, one death, one evacuation at a time).

President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.
