Good day all. Once again, Donald Trump has gotten inside the Mostly Stupid Media’s OODA loop and gotten himself more free advertising. He also made the MSM look like complete idiots.
Granted, making the MOS look like idiots is not hard to do, but Trump is a master of the art. In this case, the media thought Trump was going to deal with the “Birther” issue regarding Barack Obama’s allegedly being born in Kenya and because of this, wasn’t a U.S. Citizen and not qualified to be president. Instead, Trump Rick-rolled them. Here are the details from the Daily Caller:
The media showed up to the presidential ballroom of the new Trump International Hotel on Friday morning expecting Donald Trump to take questions about whether he still questions President Obama’s birthplace. Instead, they got more than a half hour of a variety of military heroes — generals, medal of honor recipients and a gold star wife — expressing support for the Republican nominee. And it all aired live on the cable news networks.
Before the event, Trump tweeted: “I am now going to the brand new Trump International, Hotel D.C. for a major statement.” That was interpreted by the press to mean he was going to address “birther” questions.
And why did these morons think he was going to talk about Obama’s place of birth? Other then they are all idiots?
That’s because on Thursday, Trump declined to tell the Washington Post if he still questioned whether Obama is an American citizen. But later Thursday night — after his comment took off in the media — Trump’s campaign released a statement saying: “Having successfully obtained President Obama’s birth certificate when others could not, Mr. Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States.”
At the appointed time, the Mavens of the Media circled in and started broadcasting the event live. However, Trump wasn’t on stage. Instead there were a number of former military people, some of them who retired as admirals and generals, and two people who had been awarded the Medal of Honor. They all spoke highly of Donald Trump and said they were all endorsing him. At this point, the MSM started getting annoyed.
Realizing Trump was not using the occasion to address that subject — and instead focus it on the military — many in the press were not happy — and vented about it on Twitter.
The rantings on Twitter were a sight to behold, and enjoy. I strongly recommend you visit the Daily Caller article and read them for yourselves. Here are a few examples to whet your appetite.
18 months into this cable networks are still letting Trump hijack them for free airtime — ad time — by promising a “major announcement’

Once again, the American news media gets totally played by Trump. Wall-to-wall coverage. We’re all guilty.

Trump came on stage and played up all the veterans who were supporting him, much to the anger of the mostly moronic media.
“I am grateful for the growing support of highly respected retired generals and admirals who have been so successful in defending our country,” Trump said.
And at the very end of the event, Trump finally addressed the “Birther” issue that the morons had been waiting for. It wasn’t what they were hoping to hear either.
At the very end of the campaign event, Trump finally addressed the topic the media was there to hear. “Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it.”
“President Barack Obama was born in the United States,” Trump said. “Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong again.”
Many reporters, some standing on chairs, began shouting questions over the applause from the guests in attendance. But Trump, having accomplished what he wanted, took none.
I can’t wait to see what the Sunday talking heads have to say about this. Hillary Clinton, of course, double down on her stupidity by claiming that the whole “Birther” nonsense was his fault. There was just one problem with that. It was Hillary Clinton who started the whole Birther business back in 2008 when she last thought she was going to be crowned president.
That too is blowing up in her face as reporters are asking if Trump was the one responsible, why was it Hillary’s best friend, Sidney Blumenthal, who was emailing all the journalists back then telling them they should look into Obama’s eligibility.
Trump, from what I can tell, wasn’t a full blown dyed in the wool, tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist about Obama’s place of birth. He just, like many others, demanded Obama produce his birth certificate. Once Obama produced a document he claimed was his birth certificate, Trump changed his tune to “See? I got him to produce his birth Certificate!”
When will the media learn that Trump knows how they play the game, and that he plays it a lot better then they do? The Media’s poll numbers are even lower than that of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi’s these days, and they have no one to blame, no matter how much they try, but themselves. I’m just going to sit here and laugh as they run around in circles screaming “The sky is falling! Climate Change is real and we’re all going to die! Hillary Clinton is the greatest Secretary of State EVER!”
