"'Wag the dog' is a political term that refers to the idea of creating a distraction to divert attention away from a more serious issue. It's like when your dog barks and you suddenly forget why you walked into the room in the first place. In politics, this tactic can be used to manipulate public opinion and control the narrative. But beware, just like a wagging dog, these distractions can be hard to ignore and may end up causing more trouble than they're worth manipulation #puppylove #politics
