Donald Trump knows how to hit his cue.
On Friday, the Huffington Post announced that it would no longer cover Mr. Trump as part of its 2016 GOP presidential primary coverage. Instead, it was moving him to the entertainment section.
“Trump’s campaign is a sideshow,” the liberal news outlet said. “We won’t take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you’ll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.”
The following day, the reality TV star jumped the shark with another outlandish statement designed to attract media attention — an attack on Sen. John McCain’s war heroism. “He’s not a war hero,” Mr. Trump said. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
The incident has sparked universal outrage. It shouldn’t. Trump for President is a midsummer special that fills the void while serious presidential contenders are on summer hiatus. The next president is busy raising money and building a grass-roots operation, not seeking another headline.
Mr. Trump’s campaign strategy is built on provoking the next headline by offending. It constantly requires him to outdo himself. Last week, it was immigrants. This week, it’s war heroes. Next week, single mothers. By the fall, babies, puppies and the ghost of Ronald Reagan.
“What Mr. Trump is offering is not conservatism, it is Trump-ism — a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense,” Gov. Rick Perry said of the reality TV star masquerading as a GOP candidate.

Every time Trump jumps the shark his poll numbers go up a couple of points.
Whoever gets inside the OODA loop survives. Poor Shawn Steel is 24 to 36 hours behind the loop. Trump has already moved on and is looking for another shark to jump as he gathers more cheering people every day.
• Shawn Steel, a former chairman of the California Republican Party, is a member of the Republican National Committee.

Wasn't/isn't the Wash. Times owned by Rev. Moon...of Moonies fame?
Using the Huff as your source is pretty thin. I would never know what Huff said about anything if I didn’t read it on FR.
Gosh. That's probably good for a few more points in the polls.
