Donald Trump has been embroiled in scandals since his first term in office and with the Jeffrey Epstein story it has occurred during his second term too. It’s just part of an ongoing drama of a battle between himself and the media that has ensued over the course of decades.
His lengthy time in business started off a trail of press reporters that would ask him questions at every turn, often also finding a moment to ask if he’s going to run for the Presidency at some point. Now that it’s happened, the story has developed into something else altogether.
Trump is someone who knows both the players and the game at the same time and he’s now so attuned to responding to peoples questions over all sorts of matters that his good humour and likeable nature comes through in his answers – even as people pester him over the same kinds of issues.
The repetitive news cycle is sometimes the enemy of people who are trying to do a straightforward thing, but Trump has shown an ability to overcome a dull day to come through with ideas that shape an agenda. It’s not to everyone’s liking, but it’s his settlement over the purpose of it.
