Trump's Most Brilliant Campaign Move Yet
Townhall ^ | Sep 16, 2016 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 09/16/2016 2:48:57 PM PDT by detective

Today at his brand new Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proved once again he is a master manipulator of media.

This week the birther issue has come up again, as President Barack Obama gets ready to leave the White House in five months. Hillary Clinton and her allies at certain media outlets believe it's an issue on which they can yet again accuse Trump of racism, so it's been the topic of the week: When is Donald Trump finally going to admit Barack Obama was born in the United States?

Next time he calls a presser some of them won’t show and then they’ll be punked again.

“You don’t understand new media. Trump does.”

I’ve seen the explanations, and he DID troll them. I like that.

When the creators of Cartoon Network put those light-bright signs all over Boston (That somehow looked like bombs) THEY trolled the media. They called a huge press conference and talked about hair styles.

Like it or hate it, this is the same thing. Only this time our candidate says that the traitor in the oval office is a US Citizen which he is not.

That is important because the Democrats made that happen. They need to be eliminated from the picture. They usurped the office.

Trump should tell Hillary we should debate one on one.

If she doesn't will he threaten to boycott the debates? Because you know she won't do it.

I expect her to decline the offer.

Having criticized the chosen moderators already, if Trump did try and push for a one-on-one then the media will say he's afraid.

The press has been out for blood since the end of the DNC convention. They are like frothing-at-the-mouth, rabid hyenas.

If she is selected, they will all come for us.

He just needs to hold up the WaPo story saying Hillary started it. Offer to hand a coy to the moderator and Clinton. Watch the look on their faces.

She may have started it but he still believes it. And don't think the media won't focus on that.

“does anybody know why this birther issue is getting so much play just now”

The bitch and her media stooges are desperate and are using the same play that has always worked on pubbies in the past, you’re a bigot.

Trump masterfully deflected the charged and killed the Trump birther bigot narrative. Incredibly in doing so Trump has focused attention on the real genesis of the birther issue which was the bitch’s own 2008 primary campaign.

The last two minutes of the press conference are priceless. The media stooges present surely soiled their panties as Trump stood and smiled at them knowing full well the how successful he had been.

And don’t apologize to Odinga either. He could have set the record straight himself years ago.

The Medal of Honor winners received prime media exposure, which is something Trump truly has wanted. It is not a photo op. It is the media reaction that is the circus.

thanks for the replies, just as I thought ginned up crap with no real triggering cause

I’d love to hear Trump say: “what difference, at this point, does it make?”

The MSM pimps and pimpettes were really punked bad by Trump. They had it all planned but it all went completely wrong. The evening news was in panic and “full pimp” coverup mode. Surprisingly, Chuck Todd (Meet the Press) was the only one who really connected the dots and acknowledged that the Hillary birther ploy didn’t help her campaign.

What surprised me the most was Obama. Instead of attacking Trump he basically said the candidates should be talking about more important issues.

This birther thing was revived by Clinton and the media this week, to try and take the focus off the disastrous time Hillary is having. Trump really punked them good. And he did it for the right reason, the veterans.

Funny how the DNC, MSM, HRC and Black Congressmen ALL had their talking points coordinated for today's Trump ambush

It's been insane today. Every compromised news show and website has suddenly covered the "birther" issue. They're still going on it this evening. It reminds me of the BS "war on women" sprung on hapless Mitt Romney in 2012. Glad to see Donald Trump was ready for the bastards and gave it right back to them.

Now they’re going nuts about how Clinton NEVER started the birther/Muslim Obama hit back in 2008. FactCheck.org, Snopes.com, even NBC senior producers now out on Twitter attacking Trump and Trump supporters saying it isn’t so.

They’re furious.

I think they wanted to save the birther crap for late October to go after Trump, but due to Lyin’ Hillary’s health issues and the deplorable comments, they had to spring the trap early. Trump deflected it, but now they think they’ve got him in a box over the so-called fact (they’re waving like a bloody shirt) that everyone KNOWS Hillary didn’t do that in 2008.

In any case, this might be, for them, the crucial week of the entire campaign. They’re going full boar hog over it!
