Attacking Quote by David Folkenflik

“I'm not at an extreme, but I do think that Donald Trump is a self-created creature. But the media has feasted on his spectacle and he wouldn't live without the attention. He's repaid the favor by attacking the press, but that's generated more reactive coverage.” quote by David Folkenflik — Download Open image
