Trump can’t win with the press. If he talked nothing but issues they’d jigger his words for a scandal. As it, Trump does more policy and issues than anyone is recent history yet gets no credit for it.
Only way to help Trump is ignore msm.
Or manufacture one out of thin air. Then if Trump doesn't defend the false accusation, the press runs full time with the accusation, and lack of denial. And if he denies it, the press (and half the Republicans) accuse him of lack of discipline and inability to stay on message.
I thought Trump did great in the third debate about not taking that sort of bait.
