SHITLER got his start from free publicity in manipulating media & is doing it more than ever

Yaas, we all remember how he ran his campaign by means of daily stunts (thanks Joe SCABS & Mika Mouse) that sucked oxygen while all other candidates had to pay for their ads.

Later, too late, we learned how he planted favorable crap about himself & evened scores about enemies with the tabloids, even under his pseudonyms.

So under his so-called presidency he replaced government with perpetual campaign rallies, shutting down actual channels of journalism in favor of rallies packed with zombies who never question him, who just mindlessly cheer him and jeer his enemies - again, all FOR FREE.

And now, without missing a step, when the rallies being shut out, he hit upon a replacement outlet: Holding daily supposed press briefings - again, FREE. Think of all the benefits (to him):

* Audiences motivated into captivity via *panic*.

* He gets to Host these events, like his preferred maitre d' role at Mar-a-Lago, milking the illusion of "leadership".

* He gets a couple of "serious" people to back him up, their price paid being having to lick his butt in the process.

* And, again as always, it's all *****FREE*****!1

Unlike any real president who walks off to the side when someone else is speaking, he positions himself next to but in front of the person like pence who is supposed to be the main speaker - all so the POS can appear to be "in charge" and of course glorify himself. Any time you think he can't get any more despicable, he manages to do so. I can't stand to watch more than a few seconds of him so don't knw if he does this all the time but it doesn't matter. It's so obvious what he is doing and so revolting.

Four years ago he cranked up his Bullshit call in routine . Today was just a rebranding of that same old shit.
