Trump plays media like a Fiddle every time.

Call it distractions. Call it 4-D chess or whatever you want to call it. But the past week is proof that Trump does this stuff purposely to control the narrative in the news.
Just think about the last week. Trump gives a great speech with an appeal to end the pettiness and get things done. For a few days at least he seems to have backed off of the twittering.
The left and MSM sensing this decide to go on the attack with all of the Sessions stuff. Trump left an opening for a couple of days and the b.s. immediately starts and the media tries to paint this picture of Sessions as a Russian spy.
Trump gets pissed, realizes the best thing he can do is control the narrative again, and brings up the Obama wiretapping issue.
Guess what? Nobody is talking about Jeff Sessions right now and are left defending Obama/attacking Trump, and by default taking some heat off of Sessions.

Lighting fires to distract from other fires is not a good or effective strategy in the long run.

It's called a fire break and is actually a quite effective strategy

Go read The Art of the Deal.
The whole strategy to get what you want from a negotiation is spelled out in it.

Slick interpretation, Pretty Good
When you think "Outside the Box" you may be the only person who sees where you are going, part of thinking outside the box is to stay camouflaged so the enemy cannot see where to attack

It is if you happen to be the guy who lights the last big fire that ends up burning everything down.

If I fart in a theater, I can yell, "Fire!" No one will know I farted, but it doesn't make me a genius.

Maybe you should go and bitch about Amazon. You're far better at that.
