While You Were Distracted

Donald Trump's racist spewings continued over the weekend. His surrogates doubled-down on the various Sunday talk shows. The topic is now dominating the national conversation.

By accident or design, it's a distraction from the most important item for this coming week: the testimony by Robert Mueller before Congress, which will be covered live on television from gavel to gavel (details here).

The testimony might provide new revelations and, equally, it might not. At a minimum, it should provide some juicy soundbites and it will also refocus America's attention on Trump's wrongdoings, unethical behavior, and possible crimes.

If friends or coworkers start talking about Trump's racist rantings, remind them that's a distraction from the real news this week: Robert Mueller. Trump will try anything to turn your attention away from that. Don't let him get away with it.
