Trump Trolls the NY Slimes
Vanity | 11/23/2016 | Self

Posted on 11/23/2016 6:47:16 AM PST by CptnObvious

Enjoyed watching Trump troll the media. The NY Slimes apparently agreed on two meetings with Trump. One off the record, and one on the record. They backed off the 'off the record' and Trump called them on it with a Tweet canceling it and calling them "Not Nice". They must have called Him right back to capitulate otherwise I doubt Trump would have met with them yesterday.

LOL

He says during the during the meeting "I don't want to hurt the Clinton's" and the media takes this and other statements as that he won't prosecute Hillary. They fall into his trap and he says later that he won't get in the way of the current investigations proving the media is worthless.

backing off waterboarding = plausible deniability.

Trump is playing chess while you are playing checkers.

Also note that we are in for four years of the MSM trying to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters. Don’t be stupid enough to fall for it.

> Failure? He’s not even inaugurated. Give me a break.

Ah, but NPR was talking this morning about grounds for impeachment already. Delusional.

Yes the MSM sucks

The alternative media is where the truth is being reported, however we’re now being labeled as Racist.

I know their playbook is getting pretty ragged, and it’s tiring to have to continually fight against the media’s false narrative that they keep putting out there.

Everyone is racist, now they are trying to paint the alternate right media (ALT RIGHT) as being racist because they chose one un-named group that likes Trump but are clearly racist, and are painting the entire alternate media as racist.

What is the best way to combat this? Do we stop calling ourselves alt right?

All of the MSM are jumping on this new bandwagon using the same old playbook, very frustrating.

The thing that a lot of the press is not getting (or ignoring) is that Trump will have little to do with prosecuting Hillary. There is still an ongoing investigation by the FBI into the Clinton foundation. If they recommend the Attorney General prosecute, guess what? They will impanel a grand jury and start the process...

Trump already tainted the thing by having Kellyanne go out to announce that he doesn't want Hillary OR the Foundation investigated.

If he wanted to leave the process pure, they would say "we don't comment on ongoing investigations or potential investigations".

In one fell swoop, he's demoralized any good agents/investigators that are left who were working on a potential case. Now they know their new boss doesn't want the Clintons touched.
