Buttigieg Warns the Media, and Voters: Trump Using “Eating Pets” Is Strategic Distraction, So Is Loomer Gossip

Share

Pete Buttigieg has become a Trump Whisperer. He gets it. On CNN, he explained very simply what’s going with “eating pets” in Springfield, Ohio.

Pete also correctly classifies the current Laura Loomer lunacy similarly. They are strategic distractions on the part of Trump to keep people from talking about his record on abortion, January 6th, his many trials, 34 felony convictions, etc.

So the many cat and dog memes, while humorous, are feeding right into Trump’s playbook. It’s silly stuff, but he knows it and he’s playing the media. Same with Loomer, who he’s turned into a stooge and will abandon the minute she’s not useful.

Pete Buttigieg reminds us to pay attention to the magician’s handiwork, and don’t look away.
