The 2020 Election Begins! Perpetual Campaigns are Destroying America

• http://www.thedailybell.com

980 days before election day 2020, Trump announced his intention to run for re-election.

This is the perpetual election cycle that the United States lives in. And it is what Trump is good at. He is an entertainer. He is the perfect distraction. When the focus is on Trump, nothing substantial gets discussed.

It would be better to talk about what is getting planted in the garden, which cryptocurrencies have potential, or whatever interests you and matters in your life. But people talk about what Trump wants to talk about.

Scandals didn't hurt Obama because the media didn't report on them. But scandals run off Trump, like rain off a duck, even though the media constantly try to soak him. Most of these "scandals" have nothing behind them. In fact, the true scandals hardly even get discussed.

The public is so desensitized to Trump bashing that they don't pay attention to which is which. Like a magician, Trump keeps the focus on what he wants you to see, and the slight of hand is missed.

Trump understands and exploits the media attention. He knows that most people are not really interested in government policy. They talk about elections and campaigns. They want the drama, the reality TV show coverage of the event. They treat elections like a sporting event.

And as a reality TV show star, Trump is right at home in the controversy of the campaign. He knows that it sells. He knows how to work the crowd. And he knows that keeping him on the minds of every American is his most sure-fire way of getting re-elected.

Division

The constant election media coverage has a divisive effect on America. It pits one side against another and perpetuates an "us versus them" mentality. It is always about who is dominating who, and the contest to get back on top.
