TIL the name for one of Trump's distraction techniques

And when he keeps doing it over and over again

TIL that Trump is a bunch of dead cats in a trench coat.

Thank you for the reference!
At some military task, I recall someone shared a thought from a TV show they watched, the one I do still remember. I am not very experienced in Russian language, though I've been into it for at least a decade, mostly for art, and the job assignments around the globe.

That is, the TV show was/is called "Что? Где? Когда?", which if I am not mistaken, may be translated to "What? Where? When?".
Generally, the show is about teams who compete in answering various challenging questions sharing experience, erudition, and dedication in subjects.

Back then, I invested quite of time to actually find the excerpt... and I still have the page in bookmarks! It is still online! It was long ago indeed...

The excerpt the colleague mentioned was the following found (translated from Russian, and its verbatim below):

# Question

We fuss about. As we start fussing in the morning, so we fuss until the evening, and tomorrow as well, and thus a whole life passes in great fuss. One philosopher realized this circumstance, and he also realized that it is not within human power to diminish this great fuss. Having realized this circumstance too, he fell into thought. And while thinking, this philosopher drew a line and called this line the Great Fuss. As we know, it is not within human power to reduce fuss, to diminish it. And yet, how, without diminishing the Great Fuss, can one reduce it? Or, how, without reducing it, can one diminish it?

# Answer...

This great philosopher understood. And having understood, he drew next to this line another fuss, greater in scale... And then, in the eyes of a person, the former fuss turned out to be small. The moral is that only human activity greater in scale, dedicated to greater ideas and tasks, can diminish our fuss. And nothing more! Your point, thank you.

# Вопрос

Суетимся. Как с утра начинаем суетиться, так до вечера суетимся, и назавтра тоже, и так вся жизнь проходит в большой суете. Один философ понял это обстоятельство, и понял так же то, что не в силах человека уменьшить эту большую суету. Поняв и это обстоятельство, он задумался. А задумавшись, этот философ провёл черту, и назвал эту черту Большой суетой. Как мы знаем, не в силах человека сокращать суету, уменьшать её. И всё-таки, как, не уменьшая Большую суету, сократить её? Или, как, не сокращая, уменьшить?

# Ответ...

Этот великий философ понял. А поняв, он провёл рядом с этой чертой другую суету, бóльшую по масштабам... И тогда в глазах человека прежняя суета оказалась маленькой. Мораль такова, что только бóльшая по масштабам деятельность человека, посвящённая бóльшим идеям и задачам, может уменьшить нашу суету. И более ничего! Ваше очко, спасибо.

The thing is I haven't found the name of the actual philosopher still...
Do you have any idea who he is?

They’re eating the cats and dogs strategy

Also see 'Gish gallop'

better late to catch on than never

Makes sense. trump always said "you can grab them by the cat". /s

"They're eating the dogs! "

To distract from the attempt to build a Skynet.

Kojima predicted everything in mgs2, now the problem is: did he predict everything in mgs4 too?

It should be called the "cat eating" strategy because it's the most ridiculous, unbelievable and unimaginative shit anyone can make up.

They can't even lie correctly, the feckin' losers. What a liberty!

at what point will we see zombie cats?

Can the mods of this sub make more firm principles on posting rules? This title has nothing to do with the definition it's describing. Instead, it's an example of it. I'd consider opting out of here if nothing changes. Posts like this would've been removed on reddit. It's a place for what people learned, not for what people feel about what they learned. It's impossible to remove subjectivity but this post imo crossed the line.
