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?

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

The Clinton campaign, the media and probably Obama are conspiring to use the issue to attack and lie about Trump.

It is only raised in a way to dishonestly attack Trump.

I don’t understand whats so brilliant about this.

Punking the media is one thing, it’s funny but they won’t change their agenda.

The voters won’t even see this event. They’ll be told it was Trump being a bastard. The Daily Show will talk about it.

The truth is that Obama was not born in the US. Thanks to brave people like Sheriff Arpaio and his crew, and others who not only scoff at the threat of being poked fun of - but scoff at the threat of -being killed-.

I’m not pleased about this. Obama wasn’t born here and this crime can’t be swept under the rug.

I do like him taking the chance to put veterans at the mic and talk about real issues. But again, those won’t reach anyone. Nothing good happened here today.

They’ve been out for blood since they quite laughing about his candidacy. The more desperate they get, the more mistakes they’ll make.

I DON’T WATCH tv NEWS BUT I UNDERSTAND THEY ALL HAD GUESTS READY AND WAITING TO CALL tRUMP A RACIST, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAID.

Sorry I’m too lazy to retype.

Yeah, it was a coordinated ambush between the Clinton campaign and the media Presstitutes.

This is why we need to be prosecuting these scum media people with RICO laws. We need to break up these anti-trust style monopolies.

Of course it backfired on them. Now the truth can be spread that Hillary's campaign started this stuff back in 2008.

He should simply observe that Illiary should not have started it if she didn’t believe it.

I’d hardly call someone a manipulator just because he doesn’t bow and scrape before the media. They need a time out!! Oh. They got one that’s what this tantrum is about.

Trying too hard, getting out of the routine groove, that's a risky direction to take.

Hillary iand her collaborators in the press determined that this would be a good angle from which to smear Trump.
Big mistake.
The birther issue was something Hillary Clinton developed to try and discredit Hussein Obama Way Back in 2008. Everybody knows and remembers it.
So what trump did, brilliantly, was resharpen Hillary’s original wedge issue against Obama and drove it between her and Black Democrats again... unexpectedly.
It was her sycophantic employee Blumenthal who first spread the rumors about Obama’s birth and nationality. The Clintons did it to destroy Obama.
Trump settled this several years ago by obtaining a birth certificate by force even though the one obtained appears to be falsified it does close the issue for now. And it did back then as well.
Hilary has exposed herself again. Trump just rubbed her nose in it in front of the national press which was collaborating with her .
It’s actually just too damn funny to explain… What incredible liars they are!
And they actually did it to themselves… Again.

From the tenor of the reports, this gambit is a reaction to Trump gaining ground with African Americans. The reports focus on “bigot” and “racist,” that is the negative takeaway the press hopes its audience will agree with.

Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:

RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)

Step into my trap, said the spider to the flies (ie MSM,and HiLIARy campaign, forgive the gross redundancy).

If I were the MSM/HiLIARy axis, I would just let it go, and try to get him next time, but who am I to give advice? Let them flail away.

He floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee - he OWNS them. Do they really think that they’re smarter than a guy who’s been watching and manipulating the media for about 40 years, and doing it WELL?

Let them be out for blood (as if they wouldn’t be, anyway). Soon they’ll have to call him “Mr. President,” and that’ll burn them up.

Trump caused the media slime balls to actually report honest news and to provide access to veterans and Medal o Honor winners.

Did you hear? The MSM producers erased all their video of Trump's speech after he punked them.

Sniveling bastards.
