Trump's Stunning Triumph, the Media's 9/11
You know the inclination when you wipe the grin off the substance of a presumptuous know-it-all? This is definitely the inclination the American public probably had, especially the Trump supporters, when each media master was demonstrated totally wrong and put in his and her place.
