 Potentially an excellent media strategy all the same.
The same principle strategy is employed by lion-tamers who use a chair
for his show.
 "Most of us have watched the scene of a lion tamer using a chair and a
whip to help keep a lion at bay. But have you ever wondered why a chair
is used? It’s because a chair has four legs, and that confuses the lion
enough to keep it from attacking in earnest. The lion will jab at one
leg of the chair and paw at another one, but he won’t lunge forward in
full attack because he’s unsure of his target. If lion tamers used
brooms or mops, we’d hear more stories about mauled lion tamers."
 One drawback on such media strategy.
It is clear that the lion tamer knows he is the tamer, not the lion. Can
one say the same about Trump? In addition, members of his team also seem
to be confused from time to time.

Interesting analogy, lion and the trainer
My take goes like this, Trump the lion tamer harasses a full-grown male
lion with a feeble chair. The lion gets a whiff of his bad butt odor
people are talking about. The lion finds this very tantalizing and
salivates like crazy. He can’t take it any more, swipes the stupid chair
to the side like it was a feather. Immediately, starts devouring his fat
ass as Trump screeches like a hyena. Then the full-grown male lion
thinks it would be a great idea to take a crack at his ass and goes into
the motion of making a baby. Now, Trump is squealing like a pig.
The people in the circus watching this are screaming with delight and
cheering on, I mean how often does one get to see their president get
eaten alive. Musk who is also watching the horrible event decides to
immediately leave for Africa. He said African lions are much tamer,
their preferred diet is black Africans, I should be safe there.
