Hi, everyone, and welcome to this special edition of Spin Rules: Trump Bingo.
It's a fun way to keep track of the daily outrage(s) of an administration trying to run America into the rocks.
When you get some news of the latest Trump threat, order, or tweet, just print out your handy Trump Bingo card and use a Trump coin to mark one of his playbook moves on the card.
Remember: Trump and his minions are doing a lot of this – fast! – to flood the zone, make the liberals cry, or introduce a bright shiny object – say, the Riviera of the Middle East - Gaza – in order to dominate the news cycle.
And then there has been Elon Musk and his band of Musketeers, the young tech-bros who just want to intimidate and break things up. Oh, well.
But don't let this dizzying barrage of initiatives, orders, threats, maneuvers, and – of course – lies bring you down.
There's lots of pushback, lawsuits to overturn this crap, and sometimes even people brave enough to do the right thing.
So do your part, play Trump Bingo! Learn to classify this administration's melange of mayhem, and move on!
Here are some examples of how to score in Trump Bingo (and please offer your comments on your favorites):
- Make the Libs Cry: Well, the idea of Trump chairing the Kennedy Center and replacing its board was just a brain fart to offend the “elitist liberals” who normally run things.
- Flood the Zone: Anytime there are more than four Trump-related headlines on CNN’s first page, he has won the war for media attention that news cycle.
- Retribution: revoking security clearances for Biden, Bolton, Milley.
- Enablers in Congress: all the most unlikely cabinet secretaries confirmed.
- Healthcare Quackery: RFK Jr., need we say more.
