They wouldn’t stop reporting on him even when he wasn’t president. I reduced my watching of msnbc in the last 8 years.

If a president wants to be heard they have to get out there. You can't just do the yearly State of the Union speech, a few press conferences and "rare" tv interviews and expect to win any media war. Trump's message is horrible and he hates the press but he talks to them, fights with them and insults them, and he gets his message out.
