Sharks in the water! Blood in the water causes the feeding frenzy. The news cycle is so predictable that you have to wonder if MSNBC and CNN are working to get Trump re-elected president. The latest frenzy, of course , is the FBI search at Mar-A-Lago for documents removed, illegally, from the White House when Trump departed. Speculation is running rampant among news celebrities as to the timing of the court ordered search.

The latest Trump concocted story claims the FBI planted incriminating evidence. Sure. And Trump is a scratch golfer.

Here’s a conspiracy theory of a different sort.

Trump is infamous for his use of pseudonyms to leak or promote a story to the press that leads in a direction either favorable to him or to gaslight the media. Whether the amateurish performances are believable is the purview of skeptics, but supposedly he has been exposed in the past and, of course, immediately denied the tricks. Well that sounds familiar.

So the idea that someone close to Trump or someone who works at the palace, squealed on him may be sleight of hand.

Even the fly on the wall had to call bullshit.

Why would he squeal on himself, you might ask. Perhaps to get the heat off of him. Perhaps to claim the narrative. Perhaps to ensure free and unfettered press coverage while claiming his status as number one martyr. When we consider that nothing is beneath him, that no scheme is too far fetched, it makes it easier to suspend rational thought. You know, the way he pulls the wool over the eyes of his believers.

Perhaps Garland will give us some clues. It’s a great story, one the media can’t resist.
