Trump is his own worst enemy. So what's new?
He trolls them. He gets verbose defining an idea, they cherry pick and misquote it and raise a kerfuffle, and then get exposed with the full clip. He has done this time after time, and they still won't quit. He keeps exposing them. Sooner or later people are realizing they are being lied to, or take another long draught of Kool Aid and join in propagating the lie.
It's almost a game. How many times have his words been taken out of context and used in some distorted misquote to try to hang him with? By now, no one should believe a word the MSM says.
