If there’s one thing President Donald Trump excels at as a politician it’s his uncanny knack to draw his opponents onto a high-profile, national stage where they reveal their ugliest traits for the world to see.

He was able to do it in the 2016 Republican primary multiple times. Think about Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) beclowning himself with talk of small hands during a primary debate in Las Vegas. Think of his ability to draw biased journalists out of their fake objectivity during debates and subsequently in their every-day coverage of the president.

Again and again, those who oppose him are sidetracked and distracted by their own rage and frustration against a man they truly believe is not worthy of the position he has attained. He gets his opponents to reveal that rage and their hatred for Trump the man and in so doing, they reveal the worst in themselves.

And he did it again last night, in what was probably the highest profile moment of his presidency, his first State of the Union Address.

I am surprised that this kind of propaganda seems to work, even if for a limited sector of voters. 

Can articles like this this really, successfully, displace Trump's rage, frustration, and "beclowning" moments onto his opponents?  Trump's opponents "rage" at him for things he actually says and does--e.g., grab P, ban Muslims, and lie about illegal voting. Not to mention his vindictive humiliation of his own AG and WH Staff.

He is not "getting" opponents to express frustration with him.  Rather, he cannot control himself and has no sense of consequences or accountability. That is why people "hate" seeing such a bad role model and incompetent in a position of such power.

People are revealing "the worst" in themselves when they criticize Trump's documented bad behavior?  Jeezuz . . . . .

This is just top of the line mystification if it works.
