Trump Literally Laughed at How He Can Game the Press With His 'New Tone'
The Daily Beast on President Trump’s change in “tone” on the coronavirus pandemic: “Afterwards, the press noted the difference in ‘tone,’ with several pundits and reporters speculating that the gravity of the moment was finally weighing on the man in the Oval Office. And Trump… almost assuredly noted the praise he received from them for his more ‘presidential’ tune.”
“That’s because to a person, they say, there is no one who more voraciously consumes media coverage of himself. And over the past three years, the president has periodically remarked—sometimes with a self-aware chuckle or smirk—about how ‘easy’ it is for him to trigger praise from a typically adversarial press simply by acting ‘nice’ during a particularly weighty moment.”
