People like me can plainly see the strategy he is using.
First thing is to MANIPULATE the media into talking about immigration again. Get the news cycle back to that. It's been dominated in the last week by the bombs and the mass shooting.

But now we are days away from the midterms. And it will be the party that is most energized on Nov. 6th that will win the elections.

Trump is like a puppeteer pulling the strings and forcing CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, and the rest of them to dance to his tune.

They have just spent the last 48 hours pushing HIS message to his base.

You and Stefan, in this matter, are too obsessed with hatred for Trump to see the genius in what he does.

First he will get his base re-energized for the election.
Second...IF he actually did try an Executive Order that was unconstitutional (which it would be)...it will be immediately taken to court.
And that will lead to the Supreme Court making a decision saying that his order is unconstitutional...and that giving "birthright citizenship" to illegal aliens is ALSO unconstitutional.
It's a "win/win" for Trump.

And anti-Trump, anti-USA people can only fume and be bitter about it.

The guy is playing the media AND the "left" like a fiddle and you guys are so caught up in hating him that YOU are the ones actually being manipulated. And you couldn't even see it.

Hopefully you will think about what I just wrote and reflect upon it. Then you can stop having Pres. Trump manipulate what you are thinking every day via what he forces the media to "report" (have panels discussing how horrible he is 24 hours a day).

Just give it some thought without emotion and you'll see what I'm talking about.

You don't have to agree with Trump or support him. But at least your eyes will open and you'll realize that he is playing chess and the media are playing checkers.
