Trump doubles down on nuke comment: "let it be an arms race"

I do think Trump is all bluster, but hopefully for the sake of world peace, the secret service takes his twitter away.

Trump is 90% hot air as you say. His ability to change the media focus when he has real issues put against him is extraordinary.

I wonder if part of the reason for this bellicose cold-war rhetoric is to counter the narrative that he is some kind of Russian puppet.  It's all just for show. 

Seems quite likely, and appropriate to his idea of subtlety.

This doesn't sound like a very good trait to have if you use it for negative purposes, such as to avoid being scrutinized for the stupid stuff one says, does or thinks.

there is no focus change at all....everyone should know about the real issues even whil i think trump himself doesn't care much.

The media doesn't care much. They've abandoned their public duty as the Fourth Estate in pursuit of nothing but eyeballs and dollars.

Outrage and strong emotional controversy lead over "real" news. As President-elect, the only real stories about him are:

-isn't really interested in the job
-uses objectively bad criteria for picking unqualified subordinates

Trump is going to spend the next four years having how BAD he is at being President hid behind how DEPLORABLE his Presidency is.

Heck, that's a mistake Clinton's team made. I've been making it. They should have spent the entire race pointing out that he was *incompetent* instead of *evil*.

I think being able to outsmart the media is a completely necessary trait in 2017.

Trump just says "Media crap" and everyone buys it regardless of the truth.

Why?

Because most people are now aware how fake news actually is. CNN. FOX. They are merely puppet-ed infotainment, at best. So Trump calls each media story "lies" and people agree. Trump is their insider in the system they dont trust.

Donald knows all news is fake.
