It isn’t a prolonged feud except that the press has continued to beat the drum. They beat the drum and demand to know why you are making them beat the drum.
He needs to do something, though, to take them off their game and force them to beat to his drumbeat. He did that pretty well until now, he needs to get back to what works.
We knew this would happen, though. Whoever won the primary, as soon as he won the press would open up with all barrels. Since they control the amount of air time he gets, it can be difficult to get past them. A lesser mouth would have no chance; Trump needs to shout louder. Do what works for him, and do it louder.
.....”Since they control the amount of air time he gets, it can be difficult to get past them”....
Ivanka spoke about this the other day only in regaard to how his message is presented....that this why Trump is taking his message directly to the people.
Reagan did this as well...but with news spreading in a heart beat today, and gathering speed online...there’s not much space to recover. Therefore I think a lot of this stuff they’re flinging at him needs to just slide off his shoulder...and get on with the program of what he stands for.
