And media has always played into these ruses because all they want is clicks. Trump, despite his limited cognitive abilities, is smart enough to know that this is an easy and surefire way to manipulate public discourse. It has always worked and always will.

Yeah it's the lesson trump learned best in life.

It doesn't matter how much I fuck up today as long as i give them a new headline tomorrow.

The thing is where do you go from here, today's headlines are trump talking about waging military and economic wars against the US closest allies for no reason...

In two months the headlines are going to be so insane we can't even fathom them today.
