The hype has arrived, but it will be tougher for Gordon later, says Alexey Yakubin.

As always, Gordon attempts to be somewhat sensational and trendy, hoping that people will soon forget about it. And then everything else follows.

Regarding his statements from December 30, it was immediately clear to me that nothing would come of it.

Because according to current legislation in the United States, Trump cannot engage in any foreign policy activities or meet with world leaders as the leader of the U.S.

However, as we can see, the hype has taken off. The thing is, it will be much more challenging for Gordon to do this in the future.

It seems to me that people perceive everything episodically — there's a trending topic, and they latch onto it. In other words, they see it not solely through the individual but simply through the statement.
