Usually, these defensive protestations piss me off, but “the master manipulator does not manipulate me” is some high-level unintentional comedy

And yes, Trump is a master media manipulator and has been since his days as a small NYC real estate developer who got more coverage than he deserved. He knows how to drive the left to a frenzy. And he clearly enjoys it. He does not manipulate me. If you think he does, you have missed my stories.

Well not me, I'm build different, but the rest of you fools.
My stories? My editor gives me assignments and edits what I write, why do you ask?
Lipton would never say use the description “drives the Right into a frenzy” as a talent or virtue for any Democrat
