We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

His style is definitely to bring up new outrage to dilute previous outrage. That doesn't mean none of the outrageous positions are not "serious". So many replies to these types of "trap/distraction" accusations are to "just tune out". This is the same as "vote 3rd party or stay home" election calls. If you are not burning things down, you are accepting your slavery. Tuning out is no path to liberation, and won't stop his agenda.
