For Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche

I can tell you exactly why @realDonaldTrump did this, and you won't walk away any wiser.

Even after I explain Trump's strategy, the press will continue to play the part the Trump has assigned you.
Trump did this because he knew you'd get all outraged AND REPORT IT IN DETAIL.

He did it because he knew YOU'D MAKE PEOPLE WHO MISSED IT WANT TO WATCH IT ONLINE.

You are Trump's puppets and always will be.

He's smarter than all of you put together.
A while back, one of your idiot colleagues said at an indoor press conference, "It don't know if you noticed it, but--"

"I notice everything," Trump interrupted.

And your idiot colleague plowed ahead, doggedly reading from his script.
Trump tell you people TO YOUR FACES that he's playing you, and you never react.

Your hate has made you deaf.

Your hate has scrambled your brains.

I think the funniest part about you is this:
You knowingly do absolutely disreputable things and yet continue to demand that Trump treat you as though you're reputable.

Don't you understand that Trump will NEVER treat you as though you're reputable?

He's using Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.
Use the enemy's own tactics against him.

Here's the issue that cripples you and your colleagues.

You see a billionaire wearing a suit or gold clothes, so you put Trump in a box.

But Trump is the most radical politician in human history.
This is the INNER Trump.

US Coast Guard corsair crewman, 1940.

The "Hooligan Navy."
Trump is a HOOLIGAN.

You aren't.

He's a BUCCANEER.

And he fights as dirty as he has to.

He has absolutely no respect for you, so he will trick you into doing his bidding over and over and over.

For him, it's child's play.

It's a glorious thing to watch.
The great weakness of past presidents was their lust to be on TV and have inexplicable, mannered, stilted weirdos make strange faces at them as they asked utterly stupid questions.

Trump has no desire to be liked by such people.

To him, you're just tools.
Does the blacksmith have conversations with his hammer, tongs, and anvil?

Does the blacksmith ASK the hammer to please cooperate?

To please like him?

Or does the blacksmith wordlessly grab the hammer and use it to shape the project at hand?
Journalists will get Trump reelected.

And for that I thank you.
