Rachel Maddow outlines the sheer volume of objectively bad news for Donald Trump's campaign since even before he lost the presidential debate to Kamala Harris, and points out the "made-to-order outrage" tactic Trump and his supporters have used to distract from that bad news, even if it means exposing themselves as racist liars and offending the entire Haitian-American community.

    Feels like this…

    There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, “Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!” In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.[1]
