Fake news my friend is the new norm
get used to it
Trump because he was paying attention realised that this was the case in about 2015
Trump because he was paying attention saw that most people were now getting their news from Google and Facebook
The major TV networks and traditional media outlets are in a death spiral
They are going broke
As they go broke they employ less journalists and do less legitimate research.
And here is the real kicker
As they clamber for eyeballs they resort to clickbait and sensationalism and so by the very definition of what they are trying to achieve they are becoming more and more unreliable extreme and full of gossip and crap
The only thing a politician can now rely on is his own core energy
People can't tell fact from fiction
So they are just going to read body language and non-verbal cues
Trump is an absolute master of body language and non-verbal cues and he will demolish any opponent in the current media climate
You should study that for about 5 years
Mr Trump learned about fake news from his media liaison man, John Barron.
John Barron was also Mr Trump.
Mr Trump's knowledge of fake news comes from creating it himself. John Barron would call the gossip columnists and say things like Prince Charles was considering an apartment in Trump Tower. John Barron said Mr Trump got along swimmingly with Princess Di. He said Mr Trump had dated her a number of times.
You see? Fake news. In reality, Mr Trump was selling apartments to Saudi sheiks and Russian oligarchs, those considered the nouveau rich. Today, of course, those connections have formed the basis of Mr Trump's foreign policy.
The old money on the East Coast hated greedy little conmen like John Barron, not to mention the corrupt foreign thugs he did business with. The media lapped it up because it sold newspapers and magazines. The gossip columnists didn't mind putting a few fake news tidbits out there. "A source says..." and "an anonymous reporter told..." were the tabloid equivalent of Mr Trump's usual source, "everybody". As in, "I mean, everybody's saying it."

Do you think it's time he changed tactics? good grief NOOOOOO!!!!!.
when the mainstream media is dominated by sensationalism and click baiting, why would he change tactics when those very tactics are the new weaponry.
trump was just "paying attention".
and all publicity IS good publicity.
answer me this.
if there were 2 threads.
one entitled "trump and the pope get swedish massage together"
the other entitled " new data on climate change".
which one is going to spread.
which one will be shared
which one would YOU read first (even knowing its fake news).
and when you "react" to trump, he is "leading " you and you are putting him on a pedestal
The Establishment would have you believe that the job of leaders is not to sell scandals, dear, it's to shape and implement policy in the national good.
Climate change, health care, job losses due to automatisation, the geopolitical rise of China - these are issues the elites say can't be ignored.
Instead, Mr Trump spends an average of 4 hours a day in the Oval Office and uses the rest of his time campaigning and Tweeting and watching TV.
Worse, they say, when Mr Trump
does do his job and talks to foreign leaders, he just acts in his own interest, fishing for fake info on his political opponents and undermining the work of his own agencies.
What a load of crap, eh?
Fat Steve and Janeen want a leader who sticks to his own interests. Forget us, they say, you focus on yourself. They understand the Paretto Principle: to he who has more, more shall be given.
Now Mr Trump, of course, has been given the VIP treatment his whole life. He used to do his paper round in a chauffeured limousine. If anyone deserves more, it's Mr Trump.
Why won't the Establishment just give him the respect he craves? If Fat Steve and Janeen can do it, why not the elites? that gets to the crux of the matter.
trump is no more in the "running the country" business, then mcdonalds is in the "providing excellent nutrition" business.
the country is run by the strong powerful aspirational assertive noble businessmen.
certainly not by politicians.
how do we "rate his success".
his occupancy of the white house is the equivalent of mcdonalds being the most profitable fast food company or apple selling the most phones.
trumps success as a politician can only be seen in terms of his demolition of rubio, bush and cruz and his subsequent demolition of clinton.
in the same way apple demolished nokia and blackberry and then demolished erikson and samsung.
trumps position as number 1 is the gold standard of success in the game of politics BY THE DEFINITION OF THE GAME ITSELF
