Kanye visited Trump Tower. Watch cable news take thebait.

To cover Trump effectively, ignore shiny objects.

On December 15, Donald Trump was supposed to hold a news conference addressing how he plans to deal his business conflicts. Left unresolved, these conflicts will cause him to violate the Constitution on his first day in office.

But late Monday night, Trump, citing “busy times,” announced that the news conference will be postponed — conveniently, until after the Electoral College convenes on December 19.

@realDonaldTrump
I will hold a press conference in the near future to discuss the business, Cabinet picks and all other topics of interest. Busy times!

All told, Trump faced a tough news cycle on Tuesday. So what did he do? Create a circus to distract people.

It worked.
