Is The Eye-Patch For Chancellor Scholz Legit Or A PR-Gimmick?

 Well....it's a BS thing to bring up.  But on social media....there's probably a hundred suggestions that it's PR-only.  The suggestion is that he looks like some pirate and gets SPD votes for Hessen/Bavaria in these state elections.

I was mostly amused over this.....to the point that WDR (public TV sub-station for the NW of Germany) picked up the BS topic, and tried in some way to say it was a conspiracy gimmick to suggest it was a PR-tactic.

No matter where Scholz goes....there's two or three security guys around him....twenty-four hours a day.  If this had been a fake 'fall' or accident.....it'd be a colossal mistake to think they'd agree to the BS story.  

How many Germans think it's a PR-gimmick?  Unknown.  I might guess it's in the 10-percent range.....if you said AfD-likely voters....it might be as high as 50-percent of them believing this.
