WaPo’s Dawsey: Almost Seems Like Trump Wants a Made-for-Television Story Line and Ratings

‘And in some ways, you know, the president’s done it this way his whole life’

DAWSEY: "I share that same concern with Olivia. That my job is just kind of to report and figure out what’s happening and tell people the facts for them to make their opinions.  Just want to note, Brian, Peter King at the end of our story today said, you know, the president ran the worst, most chaotic campaign ever. And one election night, he was smiling and grinning. This is an unorthodox presidency in a sense that he doesn’t want to do it like others. He likes pitting people against each other. Some of it almost seems like he wants a made-for-television story line and ratings. And in some ways, you know, the president’s done it this way his whole life."
