You know you have to hand it to Trump, as much as it pains me. He does


know how to troll the media perfectly; trigger them, and play them like a fiddle. The news yesterday, with regard to politics and 2020 should have been dominated yesterday by the terrible economic news with the GDP contraction in the 2nd quarter; and the failure so far to get economic relief to hurting Americans as the benefits were close to expiring. However, he knew that if he tweeted the absurd idea of delaying the election everyone on CNN/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC news would react by clutching their pearls, chase down Republicans on the Hill asking for a comment, and start sanctimoniously grandstand about an "assault on democracy!" and how this is "fascism!"when Trump, and everyone in the media knows that the President cannot do that.
Simply amazing how people still take the bait. I would have covered it, and spent all of 30 seconds maybe confirming how that is an absurd notion, can't happen, and move on. He is dumb as they come.but he is a master at distraction and owning the media. Part of how he won 2016.
