That is what all pols do all the time. The john of don does it expertly. He lies so much so often about the press that his base will never believe anything reporters will say. That is the purpose of the brainwashing in which johnny donny envelopes himself, immerses himself. To convince his adoring worshippers that all things said about him unless they are based on shameless a**kissing, are lies. They will of course believe every word that drips from his lips. He's got 'em right exactly where he wants 'em and he's gonna keep 'em there by doubling up or doubling down. SIGH.
