Candidate Trump says outrageous shit, knowing the media will give him virtually unlimited free coverage. Trump supporters clap like trained seals.
President Trump and his advisors/spokespersons are fact-checked by same media that are 'seeking to discredit' him, according to Trump and his supporters. "What an outrage! How unfair!" shrieks the lemming gallery.
What's he supposed to do? How about pretending to act with a modicum of dignity befitting the office and -- oh, I don't know -- hewing closer to reality so that he's not constantly being called out on his completely avoidable bullshit. Now that he's President, he shouldn't have to pander to his base. He could be . . . Presidential.
