And when no such praise was to be found, staff would turn to friendly outlets to drum some up — and make sure it made its way to Trump’s desk. > > “If candidate Trump was upset about unfair coverage, it was productive to show him that he was getting fair coverage from outlets that were persuadable,” said former communications director Sam Nunberg. > > The White House did not respond to repeated requests for comment. > > Trump is also, however, a near-nonstop consumer of cable news, and his staff’s efforts were not always enough to keep Trump from tweeting on topics that were far from his campaign’s core message. Throughout the campaign, whatever messaging the candidate’s staff had planned was continually accompanied — and often overshadowed — by a string of feuds that played out both on and off Twitter. So _delicate._ ---

[…] > > But, it is easier to just blame the guy who won. Nobody’s blaming Trump for winning the election (unless and until it should transpire that he did something illegal, for which at present I know of no conclusive evidence). What Trump’s being blamed for is being an ignorant petulant narcissistic incompetent dictatorial asshole. That’s not the fault of Hillary or the Democrats: that’s all on Trump and those who voted for him. ---

Which is stupid, because objectively speaking, Hillary Clinton was a superbly qualified candidate with excellent credentials and an impressive resume. So, yes, the fault lies with those voters who, through incredible ignorance or actual malice toward America’s aspirational ideals (or some combination of both), were bullshitted into to focusing on the relative molehill of her negatives instead of the mountain of her positives.
