Related: About this forumThere's a theory that DJT is changing the topic.
That's his favorite tactic. When he does not like what MSM is talking about him, he likes to change the topic by saying something else outrageous right now, but not in the long term so that the original topic is forgotten. The theory on twitterverse is that he is saying these things about Hillary's guys to change the subject from his birtherism.

even today, he ostensibly admits that Obama is an American, but he throws in that Hillary started it. the ensuing coverage spends all its time tripping over its own dick analyzing the truth or falseness of that utter-bullshit statement.
that he didn't apologize, or claimed to have "ended it", is glossed over. next up, should Hillary let some wingnut shoot her?
he's basically got the media hypnotized, according to Scott Adam's Blog.

(33,345 posts)he's cunning. he uses proven, slimy sales techniques. hypnotist techniques.
he's not a "businessman", he's a real estate developer. lying is like air to him. he has no conscience.
Wonder if he was getting to much heat on releasing tax's and business dealings in other countries .......

(7,288 posts)Surely they are capable of carrying more than one story or focus at a time. Surely they can see connecting factors between these stories which all emanate from the same origin, ie., tRump. If these "journalists" can't then they need to get out of the business and let some critical thinkers in.

(33,345 posts)the RW has constructed and alternate universe of "facts", and they get to yell as loud as they want. they've brainwashed my dad, my aunts, & my cousins by appealing to their fears and prejudice.
they've cut the MSM out of their lives entirely: no CNN, no newspapers.
facts won't win this election. Clinton needs to expose him in the debates. if white women see him as a bully, and feel sorry for her, it's over. if he DOESN'T bully her, white men will see him as weak.
that preacher who interrupted him? his bluster disappeared and he was instantly exposed.
