From the post:

Every time Trump says or posts something bizarre — whether it’s a typo, a wild conspiracy theory, or an AI-generated image of himself as the pope — social media explodes. Critics mock, journalists fact-check, and late-night shows run with it. But what if that’s exactly the point?

Trump’s daily “blunders” aren’t random. They’re part of a deliberate strategy to dominate the news cycle by triggering predictable outrage.
