No offense, but that is a grossly simplistic analogy failing even Occam's razor.
Your theory is that Trump is conspiring with the media to pretend he’s tough on illegals, tough on trade, tough on Muslim immigration, and the media is in on the conspiracy, pretending to believe him and pretending to be against him for those very things, but secretly pushing his candidacy.
Talk about Occam’s Razor!
Which is it? Simplistic, or too complicated for Occam’s Razor? You’re contradicting yourself.
