FOX promotes the "Crazy Ivan" theory for the actions of Donald Trump.

[kentuck]

They say, "He's not really crazy - he just pretends he is crazy to achieve his political ends."

They believe that it is good if our enemies are so paranoid of him that they don't know whether he will push the red button or not?

He is just playing the role of "Crazy Ivan".

They believe that he can crash the economy and it will only be "short-term" pain for long-term gain. All their faith is in their Leader, Donald Trump. Never mind that they cannot define how long a "short-term" pain might last?

And if it all fails, he can always blame the "libs". And FOX will help him in every way possible to convince people that "Crazy Ivan" is not to blame.

If he lies about his criminal business deals, and his acceptance of bribes from foreign enemies, then it is all part of grand strategy, a chess game that only "Crazy Ivan" can understand.

We are left with one question.

Who is really "crazy"?

2. do they know that Ivan is a Russian name? Supposedly that term came from the movie

"The Hunt for Red October" and refers to a Russian submarine evasion tactic.

4. Reading through the OPs this morning it appears that the Trumpists are in a full on image blitz...

For example, the raw sewage rawstory hogwash about how Trump dumped Loomer from his campaign last Fall because of her “plastic surgery and islamiphobia”. When less than a month ago she had his ear enough to get him to fire career leaders of the national security apparatus.

I ask myself, “Why and why now?”

What’s coming that’s so horrible that they feel the need to get out in front of it to this extent and volume? A reaction to the selection of a Pope? The SCrOTUS making noises about bringing the rogue Executive to heel? The impending results of the tariffs on the economy? Trump has visibility declined to the point where his handlers are having trouble sanewashing it away? The real authorities are getting too close to figuring out it’s Miller behind the curtain? All of the above? More?
