...."Mr. President, it's not the 'fake-news media' that's your problem," Cavuto said. "It's you. It's not just your tweeting — it's your scapegoating. It's your refusal to see that sometimes you're the one who's feeding your own beast — and acting beastly with your own guys."....

He is right. The question is it on purpose, out of ignorance, accident, or incompetence.

Is he feeding the beast because he needs the beast? He needs the opponent- the us against them game. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Was that The Art of the Deal? 

In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...     "...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?' When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'      "One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other."

Not to worry... Old eyes on old women are the only way I look sexy anymore. :)

Wow, Cavuto. Wasn't he a big time Trump supporter?
