MSM Steps On A Rake. Again.
Here is what Trump said:
"Here's the bottom line, we've got to keep our country safe," Trump said at his rally Saturday. "You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never thought possible."So, what did the MSM do with this? What they did was focus like a laser on the phrase "what's happening last night in Sweden" and ran with it. In their blind zeal to come up with a "gotcha" moment, they looked for one specific incident that happened the night before in Sweden, couldn't find anything, and then started crowing about how Trump doesn't know what he's talking about, is making stuff up, and is a idiot. Normal people with normal language comprehension skills don't do this. Normal people would figure that if nothing specific happened in Sweden, then Trump probably meant something different, something a bit more general, and in any event, I shouldn't let my expectations dictate how Trump's words should be understood. This is how normal people behave. But we're not talking about normal people, we're talking about the MSM, which consists of "27-year olds who know nothing" (according to Obama advisor Ben Rhodes). As it turned out, Trump did have something specific in mind:
My statement as to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 19, 2017
Here's the clip he's referring to:
The MSM would do a better job with Trump if they took a cue from voters who took him seriously but not literally, instead of literally but not seriously, which is how the MSM insists on playing it:
The public -- also known as "customers" of for-profit news outlets -- sees Trump's words differently than journalists do. They, or at least the members of his winning electoral coalition, see Trump not as a politician but as a businessman. They know, and even value, the fact that his words have not passed through a gauntlet of spinners, prose smoothers, and fact-checkers.Which is why they continue stepping on the rake. So, the result of the latest brouhaha is more winning: 1. The massive problems caused by immigrants in Sweden is now being talked about openly, whereas in the past, the MSM were sympatico with the preferences of the Swedish government, i.e. ignore it. 2. In their rush to find something to hit Trump with, the MSM have kind of boxed themselves in having to defend the proposition that everything in Sweden is just peachy-keen, ducky, and smells like roses. Because if they don't take that line, then they're in effect agreeing with what he said at the Florida rally, which destroys the whole "gotcha" moment they were trying to trap him with. 3. Once again, everyone can see what a pathetic bunch of clowns the MSM are. And again I wonder if this somehow PDT is doing this on purpose.
They may have met other real estate professionals in their own lives and they know better than to take the words of ad hoc marketing seriously. These supporters are not giving Trump a benefit of the doubt. They recognize his professional DNA,and journalists are overdue to recognize this discernment by their own audiences.

And OM, I don't think there's a chance this is some sort of intentional 13-dimensional chess by Trump. As noted in the rest of your excellent post, he just talks this way.
Having spend a lot of my life actively participating in the Beltway word-parsing and word-crafting and message obsession and seeing the appallingly poor communication skills of most public figures, I can't stop laughing at Trump's delivery and style.
Laughing because it's so refreshing, it's (largely) so effective, and because it's so honest. "Honest" seems like a strange description, but it's true. Even when Trump is wrong about some nit or factoid - or even a bigger policy question - it's usually pretty clear it's what he really, actually thinks.
No packaging (exaggeration or showmanship, but that's different). Just what he thinks. This still penetrates the indifference, cynicism, or programmed but shallow hostility of many Americans. I think it will continue to do so.

Yeah, it's possible. He certainly knows how to play the media.
But at this point I think the main thing is that he's just found a bunch of politically-winning issues, and he talks about them as much as possible. And from there, it doesn't really matter what the media does. As long as they're talking about the issues that Trump wants to talk about, he'll be fine.

Chris ... I think it's simpler, on a certain level ... than that.
Trump thinks he's right.
See ... if you're right - things kind of explain themselves. When I'm right at work - which is early and often - I'm not scared to say "We should do it like this and if we don't then this bad thing will happen ... but by all means, knock yourselves out."
I can be like that because either You Listen to Me and Learn I'm Right ... or You Don't Listen to Me and Learn I'm Right.
I don't have to convince you. Events will prove me right either way. So fuck pursuading you. Life will pursuade you. Either by how you prosper or how you suffer.
I think Trump sees shit the same way. And for all their gumb-bumping ... I don't think Traditional Republicans ever have.

The winning will come with results. One more thing Trump tapped directly into - people are sick of or unimpressed with words (esp. people who see the country has sliding quickly downhill in important ways). They want actions and results.
Trump himself is not a word guy, but a results guy, by nature and background.
The winning is fine for the moment, with the exception of the judicial coup that is in its second week, with no action from the administration, and not even a word from the AG, who appears to have been kidnapped and is being held in an undisclosed location.

Agree. And this works because his audience knows enough to fill in the blanks. They know exactly what Trump means when he says, "Sweden let so many in, and now they're having problems like you wouldn't believe."
I'd bet half of the reporters covering that story legitimately didn't know what he was referring to.

There's a Swedish show called Wallander that surprisingly gives some insight to the Swedish mindset on racism. There was one episode where a few migrants killed a Swedish woman, yet Wallander (the detective) was unable to count them as suspects, because the very idea of even thinking a migrant could do something untoward was bigoted and racist, and it crippled his ability to do his job. It took the entire episode for him to overcome his fears of being racist and let the evidence dictate his investigation, resulting in arresting the guilty parties (hint: they were migrants after all).

THIS.
Does anybody here think that there won't be a Mohammadan terrorist attack in Europe in the relatively near future? The probability of a major mass-casualty attack approaches certainty. When the next attack happens, President Trump will be able to say, "See, we don't want that sh!t happening here." He's closing the deal with the American public.
President Trump talks to his audience; it sure isn't the clowns in the MFM. Just like that throw-away line about blowing that Russian spy ship out of the water; that was a statement directed to Putin, not the establishment types that retreated to their fainting couches.

There's a Swedish show called Wallander that surprisingly gives some insight to the Swedish mindset on racism. There was one episode where a few migrants killed a Swedish woman, yet Wallander (the detective) was unable to count them as suspects, because the very idea of even thinking a migrant could do something untoward was bigoted and racist, and it crippled his ability to do his job. It took the entire episode for him to overcome his fears of being racist and let the evidence dictate his investigation, resulting in arresting the guilty parties (hint: they were migrants after all).
------------------
Terry Pratchett talks a little about that mindset in 'Jingo'. Sam Vimes *knows* that all of the evidence that the crime was committed by a Klatchian foreigner is planted in order to make the Klatchians look bad.
Ironically, it turns out that he's right. A Klatchian special agent found out that his government was up to no good (but using locals to do the dirty work), and adjusted the evidence as necessary in a (failed) attempt to get Vimes to identify the Klatchians as the bad guys.

I don't think they're trying to make up for anything, it's more cultural. There's an old word and concept "lagom" which roughly translates to "enough", "sufficient", or "in proper measure". Having a big house or a fancy car e.g. is not in their nature. Instead of "I earned this, I deserve extravagance", Swedish culture is more inclined to "I have enough, why would I need all that?". They don't envy their neighbors for having expensive stuff, they think it's tacky and greedy.
So when they have all they need, and "impoverished refugees" show up, lagom says "we're not using it, they need it more".
That's my half-assed socioanthropology anyway.

Step 2- Democrats, respectable Republicans, and the media proclaim, "Trump lied about Issue X!!!!" which proceeds to dominate the news cycle.
Step 3- Regular people who haven't followed things as closely become aware of Issue X for the first time, some of whom will go on to do their own research and get red-pilled.

And probably not the armed part either. For a country that has an iconic image of off-duty hotties with slung rifles, Israel's private firearms laws are closer to Europe's than the US.

Imagine all the channels that would just disappear if people could choose. Channels nobody wants to watch but are packaged with your cable anyway, bundled as part of a deal to get popular channels.
Does anyone actually even watch MTV any longer?

When they brought buffet-style restaurants to Japan, they didn't think the locals would go for something called a Smorgasbord. So they called 'em "Vikings."
For instance, you'll have a lunchtime "Pizza Viking."

I agree, he can speak more clearly (he has in the past) but doesn't seem to want to any longer. But I disagree that he's more thin skinned than his predecessor. He just doesn't suffer fools gladly. Obama had the entire world licking his feet but blew a gasket if anyone dared question him.

If you go talk to a bunch of, say, out-of-work coal miners, and ask them why they got themselves to the polls to help put Trump over the top, you'll probably find that "reasoned analysis" comes in pretty far down their list.
The media are always squeaking and beeping about OMG IMPERFECTLY PARSED SENTENCES THIS MAN IS UNFIT TO SERVE INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT STAT, whereas increasingly, the media's audience think, "This guy talks like an ordinary Joe. I like that."

Just put the whole cable universe onto a pay-per-view basis. You could watch any channel free, for five minutes, to see if you wanted to watch it through, in which case, you'd punch an "agree to pay" button, and the cableco would bill your credit card. If you wanted to bail out of a program, just punch the "I'm done with this" button, and they would refund you the unused balance of the program fee.
