Are we being fed spoon full by spoon full - a Reality TV Presidency to keep us entertained and distracted,..

.. as we fall for their each and every scripted and theatrical scenarios coming at us machine gun style to keep us off balance, confused, and unstable as a society ?

Take a look at this analysis of the "assassination" attempt that occurred in Pennsylvania not too long ago. Incidentally, when polling numbers for Viktor Orban were stuck in the cellar and it looked like he might lose the election in Hungary. Numerous "assassination" plots were also hatched there to boost his polling numbers there also. Team Putie and Team trDUMPee seem to be working from the same script, how odd is that ?
