Trump up early tweeting scandal just in time for morning news to run it. ALL DAY LONG

He got the effect he was intendeing.

Tweet at 3:00 AM, Morning News picks it up .
Trump sets the Morning Newz Talking Points for the day.

That's why it was put out at 3AM.
And it probably wasn't him tweeting it anyway.

Kellyanne Conway's claim to fame was reporting salacious unproven sex scandals and keeping that the Topic of the Day.

Because if they're talking about Trump, they're not talking about anyone or anything else and that is the point of Trump's entire campaign.

Kudos to Howard Dean for calling out the media to their face this morning, for this very thing.

When are the FEDS going to lay down the first set of indictments?

3. It was intended to dominate the morning news.

Rather create a scandal for someone else than have the news talking about Trump's own scandals & pending indictments.

Master of deflection.

They timed these just right to grab control of the news cycle and stir up talk of him being "up all night" which I am sure his surrogates will soon use to run with the "stamina" bullshit.

I want to meet the voter who says, "I was undecided until Trump suggested I watch a sex tape."

7. This has been Trump's strategy since he entered the race.

Anytime some negative news about Trump starts getting legs, he says something so absurd that it takes over the news cycle for the next few days. Trump knows that the media will not return to talking about 2 days old news. I am certain the media knows this, but they also know Trump's absurdity brings in ratings so they don't care.

Trump is the embodiment of the theory "no publicity is bad publicity"

10. You have to wonder if there is any sort of 'strategy' here at all.

Does anyone think he or someone on his campaign is thinking that the talking heads will shift gears and say something like, "Well, there is a sex tape of her and she did gain some weight so maybe there is something to what Mr. Trump says."

Of course no one will ever say anything like this. Proof positive that there is no thinking going on behind these various tirades. The inside of Trump's head is as bankrupt as most of his past business ventures.

So then I'm right about being wrong.
