I hope the media gets pissed

Over this boondoggle. He duped them and I hope they feel foolish by taking the bait. They (the media) touted this "event" as Trump addressing his birther stance.

Now, if they cut away, they will be criticized for not covering the veterans speeches and thereby ignoring their issues. So damned if they do and dames if they don't.

Pretty good media manipulation by the Trump campaign. And, I don't mean that as a compliment.
