Politics or performance? That’s the real question right now.

Trump distraction politics isn’t random chaos — it’s a system. While the headlines are filled with culture wars, symbolic fights, and constant outrage cycles, quieter moves are reshaping institutions, data access, and accountability behind the scenes.
