Part of the MO. Trump has this fake back and forth going on with the media about a trivial topic like the size of the crowd. Meanwhile, Mattis is bombing the heck out of ISIS, Obamacare regs are being rolled back, a healthcare proposal has been put forth and numerous other actions are being taken which neither the media nor Democrats are focused on.
Worked for the election, will likely work for a long time in the administration, as the media has no clue they are being ju jitsu’ed.
