Every Trump debacle follows the same 13 steps. The reflecting pool fiasco is just one of the lower stakes versions of it.
1. Devise unnecessary spectacle
2. Disregard expertise
3. Bypass normal procedures
4. Declare victory too early (bonus if done by AI-slop post)
5. Spend way more than estimated
6. Ignore the haters
7. Realize it is not going well
8. Bypass normal procedures once again
9. Allege conspiracy and sabotage
10. Redeclare victory
11. More blaming
12. Losing interest
13. Pretend it never happened, and move on to the next thing
@KyleCoroneos Stopped in for a single morning drink on at a bar Broadway a few summers ago. Wild Bill was on the stage. Didn’t make it outside for the rest of the afternoon. So so entertaining. Authenticity not normally seen on Broadway anymore.
@Seth_Kaplan Not sure if Red Zone is a sign of the times with always needing constant engagement or if the times are a by product of things like Red Zone, multi view, Tik Tok, etc,
@Seth_Kaplan Early 50s, watched tv traditionally for years. If there isn’t a Vikings game on, Red Zone is on. There is a lot of dead time in football and a lot of the action is very blah. Red Zone brings you to the most likely action and if they miss it, they are quick to replay it.
