Matt Welch at tReason mag understands the dialectic.
Trump, an outsider con man who hustled his way into the most prestigious insider job in America by mastering the art of the troll, has not to date found his social media equal among the hydra-headed opposition. The president pecks out impotent bluster designed to inflame the haters, and Democrats, journalists, and establishmentarian Republicans take the bait every time.
Journalists are experts at giving the impression that they could do anything you can do better, if they only they put their minds to it.
