Whether you support Trump or not, you have to admit he’s pretty amazing at making the media dance along to his tune all while providing hours of complimentary media coverage. But Trump’s latest stunt has really stirred the mainstream media into a frenzy with CNN’s Jake Tapper declaring “we all got Rick-Rolled” by Trump and Politico’s Glenn Thrush tweeting “this is a f–king disgrace.”


It all started this morning when Trump sent the following tweet alerting the media to a “major statement” at his new Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C.

While the media was expecting Trump to make a statement about the “birther” issue and take questions from the press, what they actually got was 30 minutes of endorsements from decorated military generals and medal of honor recipients. Finally, at the very end Trump made the following statement about Obama’s citizenship and left the event without taking questions:

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong again.”


The mainstream media, who were all salivating over the opportunity to divert attention from the myriad of Hillary scandals by instead attacking Trump at a live “press conference,” were furious when they realized they had been played. The outrage set off an amazing tweet storm from the liberal press…


CNN actually cut their coverage of the event with Jake Tapper declaring that Trump had pulled a “political Rick roll.”
