Even as Potus, he possesses an uncanny control over the news cycle and the direction of the public debate. Everything is about Trump these days, to a degree it never was about Obama, or Bush, or Clinton. No matter how much most of the media hates Trump, he nonetheless has them in the palm of his hand, in a certain sense.
you can claim its Trump's prowess but i see a lot more evidence that he's just the straw that broke the camels back with internet media and social media. he's the monster they created, not the other way around imo. however, uncanny control over the news cycle seems to me like a whole heap of confirmation bias, he's struggled with headlines and leaks since he took office, and he has also played them like a fiddle at times. its a mixed bag.
