He has a technique of making incendiary or false comments and then gets upset if the media reports and fact-checks him.
This technique is getting old and, frankly, hyperbole, alone, is boring. At this point, people should still watch to see what he says, with a disclaimer: take everything with a grain of salt.
Then I suppose Trump shouldn't make incendiary or false comments.
Don't be fooled. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He has a strategy of making such remarks and his followers love him. It's like a cult. Even if he says something completely out of line, they will try and interpret it like it's a Nostradamus prophecy and put a positive spin on it.
He also gets boatloads of attention for free, and yes...he knows that
Unfair? I think not...but I'm sick of hearing his voice
No. In the case of Mr Trump that is a quite unfair thing to do. The only thing worse would be if they remembered what he said last month and compared it to what he say today.
I love watching his spokespeople scrambling to blame "the media" for "distorting" Trump's statements, and then they just play clips showing that what they reported is EXACTLY what he said. LOL
I don't think he even really knows. What he knows, is how to draw attention to himself, and bullshit his way out of situations, which he mostly creates for himself. Fareed Zakaria sums it up brilliantly:
Of course not.
Senator Jon Kyl made it OK to lie through your teeth...so long as a spokesperson later tells the media "That was not intended to be a factual statement." But in Trump's case, the media won't play along....;-D...
