1. I wrote some time ago I expect a war to develop between trump and the media, where the media slowly gels and then goes on the attack, and it will greatly harm trump.
It’ll switch to where the stories that provide rewards are those that are anti-trump, and the media will need to support those stories or be viewed as apologists and irrelevant.
It takes time for the herd in the press to switch that orientation, but this press conference accelerated the process, with trump’s extreme group attacks on the media.
Just as Obama’s roast of trump at the press dinner might have led to trump deciding to run for president, trump’s behavior can lead to the press deciding to go after him more.
trump’s press conference was an act of desperation at feeling out of control over the media stories he’s been seeing, not strength.
The process I described is continuing toward the press becoming anti-trump. And it can destroy him.
2. I didn’t see much notice that trump said his really big actions haven’t started yet and will begin next week — so get ready for more bad actions.
