You are right, he is a Troll. America elected a Troll for President. Well done. The media needs to stop feeding him and get on with news.

I have a secret:

He's trolling his opponents.  Shhh!!!

It's certainly no secret he just continues to make an ass of himself. It's pretty telling when he whinges incessantly about "fake news" and then tells an outright lie (one of many) in a televised campaign speech. even his supporters are probably smart enough to catch on to that. Shhhh!

Trump is trolling the media and it is feeding him. They need to stop feeding him, ignore his shots and just stick with the facts. Dig up all the dirt they can but make sure they are factual. The opposite of Trump.

Or they can do what Ana Navarro, a Republican did when Trump's snowflake in law went whining to CNN brass about unfair treatment and her in particular. Make it short an brutal.

that would require some kind of thought, or coherent plan.  There's no evidence of that.

He has done this for 30 yrs.  he knows how to manipulate the media and is doing same.  The problem is that they are using the same tactics that they used on Romney, McCain, and bush jr. however they don't work on trump. 

They need to stick to reporting facts good and bad and stop their obsession with him.  There will be a time when trump messes up and they need their credibility to make it stick.

Trump's supporters are dedicated, that's for sure.

Quote
Trump appeared in Florida Saturday where 9,000 followers gathered to hear him speak, including one man who said he salutes and prays to a six-foot cardboard cut-out of Pres. Trump every day.

Trump's ego is like a tire with a slow leak, it needs to be pumped up regularly.

Not sure what you mean by "they don't work on Trump". They are simply reporting on Trump. What is working on Trump is his continuous outpouring of lies and stupidity. He should try sticking to his teleprompter because when he goes off script he just digs that hole a little deeper.

Trump is now trying to back peddle on his "fake news" statement about a terrorist attack in Sweden which didn't occur by saying he was referring to a Fox news story to do with immigrants. How can one man generate so much bullshit on a daily basis and expect anyone not to shake their heads? Of course he does have his supporters such as the likes of KellyAnne Conway who makes up her own stories about the "Bowling Green" massacre and then the Atlanta one of course. Where does it end I wonder?

Except that the American people believe trump more than the media.  The only ones digging holes are the media.  Trump wants the media flailing about trying to dig crap on them so he can show his supporters the fix is in on him.  All the media needs to do is bide their time, but they refuse to.  Barring a recession, if the media keeps doing what they are doing, trump will win again.

You now speak for the American people do you? I don't think so. The media simply reports the blunders and lies Trump tries to flog. And it seems Trump supplies all that on a more or less daily basis. Or do you think there was a terrorist attack in Sweden Friday night, because Trump said so? American's are waking up and I doubt Trump will make it beyond the mid terms, if the courts don't nail him first with regard to his constitutional failings.

It's simple communication and gamesmanship.  You guys and the media took the bait hook line and sinker.

I'm sorry but if you buy Trump's garbage it's you who have the hook embedded. And do you actually believe there was a terrorist attack in Sweden Friday night? And would you prefer the press not report his, or Spicers, or Kellyannes, etc., etc., lise?

I'm just an observer.  I don't believe half the stuff trump says, however I know that it puts the left into a tizzy which I find glorious. 

The thing is the only people who care about his Sweden remark is democrats and the press.  His supporters are not caring about his bombast and are looking at his results which are executive orders checking off campaign promises.  Keystone xl check, Dakota access check, offensive immigration ban check, process started on the wall check, confidence in stock markets check, working with companies to invest in USA check.

His supporters are seeing things are getting done in spite of the left freaking out over a Sweden comment.  You guys are getting trolled and it's poetic justice.

That you don't find the lies, coverups, and propaganda a problem says a lot about you. It's not a flaw of "the left" that they find Trump's behaviour abhorrent.

By the way, "the left" also includes notable Republicans like John McCain and Lindsay Graham....but whatever, right?
