seriously. so well trained that if it's a negative to their new god, it cannot be real, even if it comes directly from the trumps themselves. unreal

It's just that Trump, a man of no accomplishments, has always had to paint unflattering media attention as untrustworthy--even as he has pursued the spotlight.
