Trump’s real media strategy

[Sir Mohamed]

Having witnessed the Trumpster’s behavior in his first two days in office as well as president-elect:

I think that there is a bigger strategy behind all the insults on the media. The Trumpster wants to destroy the presses’ credibility that much and rally the country, or at least his supporters, against them, so that he can discredit future reports on his foreseeable failures (Obamacare, Wall, Taxes etc.; all won’t work out) as “fake”, “biased” or “conspiracy” against him. So that will (in his will) become increasingly difficult for institutions like the press as well as the public to hold him accountable.

Especially the dispute over the number of attendances at the inauguration is ridiculous. Pictures don’t lie. People do. And as long as the Trumpster and his “speaker” can’t prove the opposite with other images or prove that the current ones are faked, it remains a lie. And he remains a liar. Also: Is the number of people participated on January 20 really a serious matter? Don’t we have other problems? I demand that the president is working to solve problems. Same with the statement on intelligence. There was never a dispute? LOL. Or didn’t he send all these nasty tweets?

I think he does all this systematically; not matter what the press reports. The Trumpster’s main objective is to descredit the press, no matter at which cost. He just doesn’t care.

the credibility of the press got destroyed by decades of republican lies.

trump only needs to bring that process to its logical end to finish the job.

yesterday i read a ludicrous twitter exchange between a conservative journalist and his audience....some of his followers explained, that the president MUST crack down on the media since he is ONE SINGLE MAN against everybody...how could this be fair?

that moment i realized how erdogan and putin are working in the minds of their fans.....THEY AGAINST A HOSTILE SYSTEM...even if they are in fact controlling and playing the system.
