“But the problem is, he’s got a campaign to run. He can’t stay quiet about this case and just let the press write the narrative. If he kept his mouth shut the defamation case might not have been brought against him, but then the media would have had its talking point to spout, un-countered. No, he has to fight them every step of the way or the less informed voters might buy the lies the left is selling.”
However, his actions keep it in the news and now MSM is talking about how Trump lost not just one but two trials by jury. He gave the media more talking points to use against him.
The media will always have their talking points. If they don’t have any, they’ll make them up. You’re essentially advocating that Trump stay quiet about one media lie so they won’t create another one to hurt him with. That’s the same loser strategy that Republicans have been using for years. Trump’s where he is for a reason. He doesn’t go on defense. If he did he’d have a lot fewer scandals to his name and he would have long been forgotten as the failed candidate who tried to defeat Hillary.
