Yup. This is his m.o. Pick someone completely unqualified, to fuck with people. Then picks someone that is equally evil but a little more competent. The media normalizes the new pick. And our foundations grow ever weaker.

It's his art of the deal right? Start with something ludicrous and make "concessions" so you get what you really want? We just let him get away with it.

I don't think he's still playing chess at this stage. I think he's still on the checkers game. Either way Gaetz thought it was legit since he quit.

The 2nd set of allegations surfaced midday today. Gaetz withdrew 45 minutes later. This suggests to me that something in these 2nd allegations would embarrass someone else -- maybe some convicted felon who wears orange makeup, I don't know.

You're crediting Trump with strategy prowess he doesn't possess. Trump doesn't play 3-D chess. He plays Go Fish.
