Breathless in the beginning with a GIGANTIC STORY followed by his entreaty to “like and subscribe”, followed by a story which has been covered more thoroughly by others, and concluding with what was supposed to be the MAIN EVENT but not quite as Earth-shaking as the headline implied.

Headline: Trump goes berserk at presser!!!

Actuality: Trump scowls at questioner

Just saying…

that it was clickbait slop. Why are people taken in by this crap? Even if it were true, the presentation wipes out its usefulness.
