I don't buy the idea that he is this out of touch. Which means he is aware how bad this comes off and is doing it anyway. I'm not sure how anyone can conclude anything aside from he must be covering for Israel, or that someone he wants to protect is implicated. Hope the deal with the devil is worth it for him. Hard to conclude that it is anything but terrible for the country as a whole.
Honestly, there's no way he's this stupid to not know how this "heel turn" will go down.
The one thing he's a genius on is manipulating social media. If he really believed this, it would be one of those greatest tactical blunders from brilliant generals, as bad as Napoleon going to sleep during the Battle of Waterloo. Or Caesar sailing out of Alexandria to do an in-person night-time amphibious landing on a dock.
It's possible, but it's genuinely hard to believe that he'd be so dense that he couldn't see this would have the opposite effect. As Robert Barnes said, it's like he's banging on the Streisand Effect. It's weird to say this is 4-d chess, but I actually feel like it might be. He's creating negative political attention. He does seem to be constantly doing this thing where he takes risks and cashes in at the last moment with whatever wins he has, and then takes credit as if it were the plan all along.
I actually kind of wonder if he's using this to launch a deeper investigation, or force someone out. It's weird.
Yeah all I will say with certainty is that I have no certain grasp on what the hell he's thinking right now. I would have pushed back on the 4D chess angle a day or two ago, but it's crossed into the "so bad it isn't plausible that he's this stupid" territory so I don't know what to think anymore.
I'm a big fan of Barnes, especially lately. Where did he say that, in the big Sunday stream they do?

Dang, ya’ll have some serious faith going on.
My counterpoint? His opinion on the vaccines.
He’s been known to fuck up badly.
Definitely not favoring the 4D chess angle, just considering it a solid possibility.
