Why CNN is doomed: Trump lures his enemies into public Wars of Words and proceeds to make them look silly and ruin them. Not necessarily by eviscerating them but by them engaging him it makes them look weak, and when it comes to trading insults no one is going to beat Donald Trump at his own game.

Would Trump tweet as much if the press treated him a bit more fairly? Interesting to think about.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
I still think he'd use twitter but no to the extent he does now to air political grievances. Like when he said he supports Charlie Gard and agreed to help if The British Government allows it.
n/a LSDwizard1 2017-07-05
Do you think Trump actually tweets or there is a team that does for him?
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
They say he carries his person cell phone in his own pocket so it's tough to say. I would say most of the attack stuff he probably does on his own.
n/a LSDwizard1 2017-07-05
Ya I feel it's 50/50. Some him some his staff. Probably the more incoherent stuff is him lol
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Yeah I would agree. I think It could be Kelly Anne Conway who oversees that stuff. He and Trump have very similar personalities and communication styles.
n/a ryarger 2017-07-05
All the tweets do is decrease the public's trust in this impulse control-lacking President we have. His disapproval is at record highs even within his own party. But impeachment is a pipe dream with a Republican Congress so we can only hope he can learn humility or least some class because we're stuck with him.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Says CNN and a bunch of people who are already against him... and all the polls said he was gonna lose the election big time also. So I don't put much stock in that.
n/a HereWeGoAgainDude 2017-07-05
The only people who think it's cool that the president uses Twitter to shit post disses to people are his 14 year old fanboys.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
No one is saying it's cool reread my comment.
n/a HereWeGoAgainDude 2017-07-05
You said the only people that think the tweeting is stupid are CNN and people that already hate him. I've talked to republicans who don't watch CNN that wish the president would stop shit posting memes like a 15 year old.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
That's not what I said...
My comment was in response to the idea that his tweets are hurting his approval ratings and the public's trust in him.
n/a Pass1ta1ready 2017-07-05
After doing some research, it's clear the low approval ratings come from the left leaning media and high comes from conservative. So it's really hard to tell who's correct if both sides hold a bias.
n/a Imurdaddytoo 2017-07-05
Sad that most liberals fail to realize this. They read those poll numbers as scripture
n/a pistilpete 2017-07-05
You need to quit listening to the same people Trump is trying to put in jail.
n/a Jadehelm522 2017-07-05
The same polls told us that Hilary would win in a landslide lol

n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
The sad part is that Jeb Bush thought he won the exchange. Jeb and Hillary were both low energy and had not really strategy or clear agenda.
n/a thepotatopantheon 2017-07-05
LOL. Trump winning a war of words. LMAO.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
He doesn't have to actually win to make his opponent lose.
n/a edgyposter 2017-07-05
So it's an "alternative win"?
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Yeah basically. Trump and his team will just continue to play the who me?" game. While his opposition wastes its time trying to have a rational argument with people who's objective is to take any response they give and spin it and try to make them look stupid.
n/a nailingjellytoawall 2017-07-05
It's sad watching people create alternate realities like this to avoid admitting Trump is just an idiot.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Sad, when did American suddenly start worrying about how "The World" views them? That is something that was started by Barack Obama and 8 years later we have more problems in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia then we did before he took office.
European Countries have started every major War and needed American to bail them out and now suddenly Trump as the President is the worst thing ever? Yeah right now who's living in an alternate reality.
n/a thepotatopantheon 2017-07-05
That's good for him because he'll never win a war of words unless he's battling six year olds.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Yeah six year olds and Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, everyone from the Republican Primaries and like every CNN Talking Head but yeah I see your point.
n/a thepotatopantheon 2017-07-05
Hillary Clinton won the most votes. If it weren't for the antiquated Electoral College, Hillary would be president.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
I'm not even talking about the election...
Three things that came back to bite Hillary big time. She took the bait opened her mouth and wound up looking dumb.

n/a Alan-Rickman 2017-07-05
Yes Donald trump won the zinger-contest in the debates and rallies. But honestly it was painful to watch him mumble gibberish at the actual policy questions.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
That's the point. No one is watching the entire debate taking notes. People remember sound bites and headlines, something they can retweet or make into a meme.
n/a Alan-Rickman 2017-07-05
It's a shame. But hey, I guess we got the guy we deserve.

Downvoted. Ave this for political subs like t-d. Him getting beat up by CNN 24/7for months, glad he was able to finally hit them back. But this wasn't 16d chess here.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
I think the Conspiracy is that Trump sets traps and most people think he is just flying off the handle or he can't control himself but I think what he does is very calculated. Everyone who has tried to take him down has failed yet people keep stepping up to take their shot. He slowly but surely wins every exchange and people are starting to grow tired of the whining, complaining, and lies by the left and their MSM drones.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-05
He might. Who knows. I feel bad for the guy and the constant media assault.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
I don't I think he likes it, and I don't think it bothers him, what's happening right now is what drives him. The man has lived in controversy since he began his polo all aspirations. He knows what he's doing and he is highlighting everything that's wrong with American Media and American Politics.
n/a EricCarver 2017-07-05
Maybe you are right. He does seem more calmer about things. Who knows.
n/a SoupGFX 2017-07-05
Wait... MSM has been doing this for years and you think CNN is the victim now?
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
No not at all. I'm saying they are dumb they take politicians down all the time but something tells me if they keep going after Trump they are going to ruin themselves. They should cut their loses and move on.
n/a SoupGFX 2017-07-05
Gotcha.. Maybe they should just report the news and stop trying to spin the narrative to direct outcomes. People might actually appreciate it. Crazy thought huh?
n/a mackerel0213 2017-07-05
So is this what I have to look forward to in my main Controversial section every day? 100 links about CNN, or more cultish behavior supporting the shittiest, dumbest, cruelest, most fucked-up retard to ever hold the office of President?
Trump is a fucking moron who can't concentrate longer than 3 minutes on anything that isn't about his own glory. He's not an "artist", he's a rich bully, and I will pop a cork when he's being led from the white house to spend the rest of his natural shitty life behind bars
FUCK TRUMP.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Go back and read the comment in this thread is not supporting Trump this has been a discussion on his relationship with the media.
I'll post on Flat Earth later will you be happy then.
n/a useyourimagination1 2017-07-05
Yeah I would agree. I think It could be Kelly Anne Conway who oversees that stuff. He and Trump have very similar personalities and communication styles.
