President Donald Trump never shies away from creating controversy. Matter of fact, it should be obvious to everyone by now that he thrives on it. Keeping the legacy media up in arms, constantly dancing to his tune is the way he believes he controls the narrative to his advantage. It’s the way he has operated throughout his entire adult life.
It obviously isn’t a perfect way of doing things, as made obvious by his approval ratings, which rarely surge above 50%, but it has been effective enough to win two presidential elections outright and likely win a third that was stolen from him.
