-

No matter how hard the US media, especially CNN, try to humiliate the president of the US, he comes up trumps every time. The media keep losing to Donald Trump, pictured, because he leads them on, is unpredicta­ble and is enjoying all the attention.

Media columnist Michael Wolff says: “Journalist­s are having a nervous breakdown over Donald Trump.”

In an interview with the highly self-opinionate­d Brian Stelter of CNN, Wolf Blitzer said: “The press goes into a fit of apoplexy after every move from the White House.”

This overreacti­on damages the media’s credibilit­y and makes them look foolish. Wolf’s opinion of Stelter is the following: “He turns to the camera every Sunday morning and delivers a pious sermon about Trump’s perfidious­ness.”

quite ridiculous in their continual assault on the president.

Wolf closes with this parting shot: “While everyone spends time on the story because it’s interestin­g (and different), the media spend time on it because they think it’s appalling.”
