Is Trump Punking the Media with his Tax Return Leaks to the NYTimes (video)
youtube ^

Posted on 10/02/2016 1:37:11 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

Video Link

From youtube:

When considering the Trump tax issue and why some anonymous leaker sent Trump's old tax returns to the NY Times, consider/recall this old story.

Trump is wily when it comes to media manipulation. He seems to relish it in fact.

Not suggesting that Trump is behind the leak of his tax returns...only suggesting that before thinking that there is a leaker on the Trump staff...consider this.

I'm not bothering with the video, but I did come to the same conclusion: Trump is playing rope-a-dope with the NY Times.

The Commie media are morons..yeah some “Scandal” they could have read all about it in Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal” he wrote in 1995 about how he lost 1 billion dollars apparently..I never read the book myself but others who have read it said he wrote all about it

I read the book a couple of times. Pretty good actually.

Yes, I know he used a ghost writer.

Trump is a worker bee. He is always at work.

He doesn't drink or do drugs or even take time off.

He works.

That said, he makes work fun...as he said in his book.

OMG - that has not been in the possession of the memory bank teller
in such a long time. Completely filed away in the dark stacks of the library.

There is nothing (known to be legal) that this man wouldn't attempt to move along - a story, an outcome, an agenda, or a little free publicity.

More power to you DJT. Hat tip to you, sir. Truly amazing that you have the ability to think so far into the future to do the necessary and plant the seeds; allowing time for them to grow in order to harvest when necessary. Few individuals have that gift.

Make AMERICA great, again! Lord knows, there are none in the democrat party who will!

TRUMP will TRiUMPh

Trump is much more clever than the MSM.

LOL, you’re NOT giving him ENOUGH credit! If I still had a dog, he would be at least somewhat more clever than the MFM. While all around him play checkers, DJT plays a 3D chess game. Not only ‘book’ smart, he has the smarts of some we would find on the street in West Side Story.

Here you go....how he keeps doing it:

Trump has two fists

First one labelled "Non-PC"

Second is "Truth"

When he comes out with a Non-PC statement...the Dims and MSM are all over it....giving Trump days or a week of free advertising.

He then hits them with Fist No 2...the Truth....and demolishes them.

Repeat this and the Dims and MSM spinning all the way down

Its called the Thatch Weave...developed by US Naval Aviators at the start of WWII.

Yes, not only did Trump write the best seller, Art of the Deal. After he ran into trouble he wrote Art of the Comeback.

So we need to give him credit for leveraging his downside to produce a bigger upside.

Trump makes me grin ear to ear the way he manipulates the media. No one understands how to do that as well as he, and the proof is the masterful way he’s avoided spending a fortune on his campaign.

This cunning is one his greatest virtues. Can you imagine how he’ll negotiate with our trading partners and get stuff passed through Congress?

It’s not just Trump’s policies we love; it’s also his technique.

That’s a great clip. The part that begins around the 4:10 ought to be enshrined in the TV Hall of Fame. You can even hear others in the studio laughing over the obvious implications of what she’s saying.

The video is hilarious. Don't miss it.

Trump plays the media like a Stradivarius.

I didn't need to watch the video. I remember when he did it.

It's one of the reasons I suspect Trump is doing it again.

I'm just not sure to what end.

Trump seems to operate on Sun Tzu's Art of War. I.e. he has an end in mind, but it is not visible to us bystanders from the get-go.

It is always a little unnerving when he pulls one of these media punks...but if he wins in November, I will quit worrying.
