    I did not see the interview.
    But how is that the left is always telling us Trump is dumb yet he is also media savy. Understanding how the media works and how take advantage of the media is so esoteric only a few people are ever given the title of being media savy.

    If I were media savy I think I would made so much money for kicks I would have purchased elitetrader and banned trolls on Monday, Wednesday and Friday


    Variety indicates Trump outmatched 60 minutes...

    And, like Melania Trump’s utterly-on-message, relentlessly forward-moving TV interview, the President’s interview had effectively the same impact as a rally; it allowed him to bulldoze his chief enemy, the media, while airing his own points at ceaseless length. The lesson the media has evidently not learned yet is not to be sitting right there when he does it.

    Lesley Stahl’s interview with Trump was an undeniable get; he’d been scarce on mainstream media since around the time he appeared on tape with NBC’s Lester Holt and indicated he’d fired former FBI Director James Comey in part due to the Russia investigation. But the interview seemed governed by two motives, both of which played into the hands of a media-savvy President whose refusal to play by typical rules of engagement has been at the center of his rise.

    ...



    By pushing through questions and by capitalizing on an interview approach seeking to synthesize his entire presidency into two segments of television, Trump effectively converted “60 Minutes” into a short rally. There are those who will see his rants as worthy, and those who will loathe them; whatever unity can be made to exist by the President exists only within those camps. That “60 Minutes” went looking for something greater is more proof than viewers needed that their approach to the President left them outmatched.

  2. That would explain the thread title.

  3. He's crazy, he's insane, he's suffering from dementia, he has every metal illness known to man, yet somehow beats them at their own game on a daily basis. Must be maddening for the self proclaimed party of intellectuals to believe they're the smartest people on the planet, and then continually get schooled by Trump.
     
  4. Only because his base is even more so and they buy into his delusion.

    luckily the content of my post did not depend on my personal knowledge.
    hence the title.

     
  6. The subtitle from the article you linked:

    The President talked over Lesley Stahl in a relentless blast of rhetoric that seemed more rally than interview

    And that's a good thing? That's winning? That's crushing it? (Please refer to my response to CaptainObvious.)

    Typical content-free leftist response. What is inaccurate or incorrect about his tweet? Do you think "people of all genders can fall pregnant"? Have you?

    I gave a link to the entire article.

    Did you not pick up what this hollywood journal was explaining?
    Stahl went in, was outmatched and the president got to hold a two segment rally.


    Whether you think it was a good thing or bad thing probably depends on your bias. I don't really care but I did wonder how this "dumb" guy so frequently outwits the supposedly intelligent media?
