Well, love him or hate him, he has blown the heck out of the PC narrative and it badly needed to be done.

“...over his comments on Mexican immigrants.”

Tell a lie often enough...

LOL. The establishment isn’t piling on Trump so much for what he said but because of how favorable people are reacting to what he said. Can’t lose control of that narrative don’t cha know.

“He has been honing this act for a long time.”

Indeed. The Trump quote can be found in Kurtz’ book, “Media Circus,” copyright 1993; it’s not far past page 18 where Kurtz writes, “In the fall of 1987, Trump began to encourage speculation that he might run for president...”

It reads like 2015. There’s a Trump associate saying Trump is addicted to publicity. There’s Trump saying that the administration subsidizes foreign nations to the detriment of the American economy.

Here’s another gem: “Despite the fact that so many journalists were taken in for so long, we still have a seemingly insatiable appetite for Trump-o-mania. Sure, the game now is to ridicule Trump instead of glorifying him...”

Again, that was written in 1993. I wasn’t even born yet.
