Jon Meacham: Trump’s Strategy Is Shoot the Media as Much as You Possibly Can

‘So what is the Trump strategy? It’s shoot the messenger in the kneecaps’

EXCERPT:

MEACHAM: "And I think, as our friend Gene Robinson said, it’s as though you were stopped by a police officer and you say, 'Give me a ticket, but whatever you do, officer, don’t look in the trunk.' I think that’s what happened with Comey, and you’re right, that’s what gave you Mueller."
SCARBOROUGH: "He went to war with the FBI before he even got elected —"
MEACHAM: "And the intelligence community, the whole 17 agencies. So what is the Trump strategy? The Trump strategy is shoot the messenger in the kneecaps, shoot the media as much as you possibly can so that when Mueller has something and it’s reported in the press, he’ll be able to say this is fake news."
