IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Ignore this entirely and focus on the substantive events this week: SNAP conditions ruling, AI policy memo, DOJ investigation into Cleveland Clinic, and Hegseth's 'invasion' rhetoric at D-Day.
Why This Score
Pure spectacle with zero governance impact—attacking a predecessor's library with hypothetical homeless camp imagery. Textbook distraction: high meme-ability, partisan outrage-bait, massive media-volume mismatch relative to governance substance. Pattern matches Trump's established playbook of attacking Obama when facing scrutiny elsewhere.
