See, this is what I have finally figured out is Trump's "Overton Window" tactic. He makes a statement, which IN GENERAL is true (i.e., "Muslims worldwide, including in America, celebrated on 9/11"). He includes some facts that are dubious ("thousands in New Jersey celebrated") woven with facts that, if investigated, are absolutely true ("some" in New Jersey celebrated, while "thousands" worldwide celebrated).

The media absolutely did NOT want to cover Muslims ANYWHERE celebrating, but in going after Trump's claim about "thousands" in America celebrating, they have opened up the can of worms that SOME celebrated here, and that MILLIONS worldwide celebrated.

Trump has now moved the Overton Window to which the media is forced to report that worldwide and even here Muslims celebrated. Mission accomplished.

It's the same thing with the "raping" illegals. Absolutely some of that was going on. In the attempt to disprove Trump, the media has had to admit his basic point. It was occurring.

Exactly. Trump again sets the media narrative by successfully tying the Paris attacks to the 9/11 attacks and tying both to Muslims. No matter what people think of trump, they are all getting told over and over again that these 3 are tied together. Fantastic job Mr Trump.

"this is what I have finally figured out is Trump's "Overton Window" tactic."

So what you're saying is that Trump is the ultimate troll maestro? Awesome.
