But the story's were incredulous in their reporting because the media had always built Trump up as a raconteur wealthy playboy.
Hell, in the 1990's and 2000's he was on Howard Stern's show almost daily.
He didn't have a popular t.v. show because the media didn't like him. They LOVED him.
And with good reason. He has a big personality and star quality to him.
And he uses it to great effect at his rallys. They are always entertaining and uplifting (provided you aren't watching it with total hatred of the man)

I don't totally hate him but I can very much see he appeals to the cruel side of human nature at his rallies. He's an asshole and always has been. I think in some ways that is working, like better trade deals. But he could be a much cooler guy, as much as he claims he's accomplished and as great as he claims things are, he's a whiny bitch. Who gives a shit about the media's coverage of him if shit is so fucking good? You can't tell me the media is holding trump back. He plays the media as well and always has. His entire "fake media" is simply part of his schtick.
