In reply to the discussion: NYT, CNN or NBCNews has a very very damaging story in the pipeline - David Frum [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(60,320 posts)Why would tRump suddenly perk up and tweet a tired old theme that he's tweeted many times before?
It could be nothing more than tRump knocked off work early Friday afternoon because he's tired and cranky.
But, ... it could be related to the bizarre super-defensive press conference yesterday that was a non-stop repetitive attack on the media, over and over again. Interspersed with references to the Electoral College and the Rasmussen poll to try to shore up his support. You could see tRump and Bannon hearing of an impending mega story and wanting to get out in front with both those approaches: attack the media and inflate a fantasy popularity.
Careful, remember how Fitzmas raised hopes so high and then let them crash. (Years ago, the possibility Fitzgerald would prosecute Bush and Cheney after an investigation.)
