    That’s just the fringe benefit. The real aim was to distract from the plane crashes he caused with his mismanagement of the FAA, and the half dozen agencies that have been hijacked by people without security clearance

        Yeah, he keeps bringing them up any time he needs to distract from any negative coverage of him or his own failings. They’re now on pause after they succeeded in their goal of distraction.

        Don’t get me wrong, they’ll come up again. And again. And again. It’s one of the easiest levers he can pull or buttons he can press to get massive attention with very little impact to himself.
