Trump is smarter than most “journalists.” He is also smarter than Mrs Bill. He won’t get diplomatically rolled by the likes of V Putin the way Mrs Bill must.

Trump executed a political ju-jitsu using the journ(O)lists own momentum to trip them up.

Hey. Here’s a crazy idea for the MSM. How about just go to press events, listen, and ask questions.
I know the great temptation lately for the MSM is to try try and spring traps, but you boys in the MSM do it so very badly, you should just stop trying. You’re embarrassing yourselves.

Well, if they had been practicing, say, JOURNALISM, they might have caught on to the fact that all of these Medal of Honor winners were coming to the hotel for some reason.

Note a survey came out this week showing trust in media is the lowest ever. So, petulantly making the story “Trump rolled us” can only work to Trump’s benefit. Most will take the position “it serves them right” and Trump’s status will only rise in public’s eyes. Well played, Mr. Trump, well played, indeed.

Why this sudden interest in birtherism? It seems like Hillary revived it as part of her “Donald’s a bigot” return theme.

Why should the media set the agenda?

And, at this point, what difference does the birth certificate make—at least in terms of campaign issues? It’s obvious Obama isn’t from around here, that his allegiances are to his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia, and every leftist cause his mother could sleep with. Unfortunately, the mobility of the 20th and 21st centuries wasn’t anticipated by the founders. They thought that being a natural born citizen was enough. Over the years, even that concept became diluted.

Personally, I’d love to see DJT, after election, unseal ALL past personal presidential records, undoing Obama’s first (or one of his first) Executive Order hiding much of his past. If that leads to an investigation of Obama’s origins, so much the better, whichever way the chips fall.

Trump played the media and it was great. The looks and utterances from the CNN anchors and commentators were priceless. Looking forward to their reactions being repeated on Election night.

It’s Lucy and the Football — and the media are a bunch of blockheads.

Isn't there a T-Shirt for that? Really, this has got to be one of the best MSM put-downs yet! They wanted to trap Trump but he Trumped them!

The MSM are clutching at straws. They had a nasty little "Trump flip-flopped from the racist Birther campaign he started" meme all ready to go and not only did he pull the rug out from under their feet, he used their eagerness to ambush him to advertise his new hotel and broadcast endorsements from military veterans. Then, in three sentences, he slammed the door in their faces. Yeah, they're outraged, but it was their own cupidity that got them there. I think it's beautiful.

While a great dream, (and I would include Cruz’s sealed birth records too LOL), it probably would result in the next Dem president releasing Trump’s sealed divorce records, just for spite.

...showcase his support from veterans, Medal of Honor winners, retired flag officers, and Medal of Honor winners.

Not to mention the department of redundancy department.

Whatever happened to editors?
