“Overexposure is the media tactic.”
So your hypothesis is that Trump would have preferred not to have the spotlight on himself, but the wily media outfoxed him.
Nah. Trump wants the spotlight. They know he’ll take it every second if given the chance. They also know that will make us (stupid public) tire of him. Even with great ideas, the eyes will start rolling and the attention will go eleswhere when he shows up on the flat screen.
Said no Donald Trump, ever.
