Trump truly is a genius. He plays the press like a fiddle
This one is starting to figure it out:
You can't claim somebody has started to figure "it" out, when you yourself don't know what "it" is.
It is obvious you are clueless. You have no idea how to respond to what is happening. If you did, you would not be responding the way you are.
Why are you helping Trump?
If you believed this was all a dog and pony show, why do you help keep the dog and pony show going?
It's because you do not. You know damn well Trump is beating the hell out of your narrative. He is directly threatening your livelihood, and maybe even your personal freedom.
You think Trump is the leader in this.
Trump didn't make that meme.
I just wonder, did Trump laugh and post it, or immediately see the value and irony of it, and post it.
In other words, was it instinct or strategic.
We'll probably never know.
No. He is simply smarter than you, and your rhetorical questions. Trump has dealt with the press his whole life. He clearly knows what he is doing. You would have no clue how to handle this, not that you would ever even have the foresight and knowledge to navigate the press in the first place like he has. SO we have som dude om the forum claiming he knows better, and this is all fake. You're just a dude on the internet. Win a mayorship or state senate seat or something, then maybe I'll consider your press analytics.
You all keep acting like Trump is the same as every puppet before him. Not even. Hillary would not have been treated like this by the press. Bush, CLinton, Bush, Obama never were. Nobody has ever been treated with such disrespect and disdain by the press, not even Nixon, not even close.
Please, please, let some random dude on the internet beg you to think his way.
+1.. those random dudes on the Net are still butthurt. they lost their critical mind.

Hey look a squirrel! plus the political equivalence to in three emojis tell me how you feel about the fake news.I can't believe you guys still think this means something.
Reddit user who took credit for Trump's CNN tweet has history of racist posts
On Sunday, Donald Trump caused outrage with a tweet that appeared to contain a repurposed post by a Reddit user: a gif showing the president wrestling to the ground a figure with a CNN logo for a head.
Trump’s tweet resurfaced questions about his conduct in office and the increased danger of attacks on journalists as the president persistently criticises the mainstream media.
A year to the day after Trump tweeted antisemitic imagery in a message attacking Hillary Clinton, his Sunday tweet also raised questions about how and why Trump and his team source the images used in his social media posts.
On 2 July 2016, Trump issued a tweet that showed Clinton with piles of money and a six-pointed star. In the face of intense criticism and reports the image had been sourced from an internet message board used by white supremacists, the tweet was deleted and reissued with a circle instead of the star, which Trump claimed had been meant to represent “a sheriff’s star, or plain star!”
A year on, the Reddit user who said he created the image on which Trump’s CNN-bashing tweet appeared to be based, was found to have posted under the name “HanAssholeSolo”, and to have been the author or propagator of racist, antisemitic, Islamophobic and misogynistic comments and images.
The footage in HanAssholeSolo’s gif and Trump’s tweet was taken from Wrestlemania XXIII, in 2007, during which Trump “attacked” WWE promoter Vince McMahon. HanAssholeSolo posted the gif version of the clip on Wednesday. On Sunday, the user quickly claimed credit.
“Holy shit!!” HanAssholeSolo wrote at 11.11am. “I wake up and have my morning coffee and who retweets my shitpost but the MAGA EMPORER [sic] himself!!! I am honored!!”
Three hours earlier, HanAssholeSolo had been taking part in a discussion on the “Reddit pics” section of the website. Another user had posted a photo of a banner which said: “Totally failed at life? Then why not blame a foreigner.”
HanAssholeSolo wrote: “In America it’s blame the white person.”
On Monday, the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the face of condemnation from Republicans, Democrats and free press groups, Trump has not commented on his Sunday tweet.
HanAssholeSolo also did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The user appeared to have deleted a series of posts after Trump tweeted the CNN video, but screengrabs collected by Quartz and other outlets showed a series of disturbing remarks.
HanAssholeSolo has repeatedly railed against the perceived mistreatment of white people and denigrated other races using shocking and abusive language.
In May the user took part in a discussion, which appears to have been deleted, and described someone as a “******” before asking: “Explain to me why a weekend doesn’t go by where 80 of you fucking moon crickets aren’t shooting each other down in Shitcago [Chicago]? Why you dumb fucking nignogs can’t attend a rap concert without someone being shot up?”
He went on to make further offensive remarks about black people in the same thread.
In reply to another poster, he wrote: “500,000 dead Muslims is a good start. Kill the rest and I’ll be impressed. Good keep up the good work until the last Islamic piece of shit is wiped from the planet.”
In other posts, HanAssholeSolo used the terms “goatfucker”, “******” and “retard”. On 13 June, he posted an image showing dozens of CNN hosts and employees, each with a star of David attached and with the caption: “Something strange about CNN … can’t quite put my finger on it.”
I can't express my real thoughts on the matter.In my opinion, overwhelming fear would improve the atrocious state of journalism in this country.
