I seem to remember a billion dollars in "earned media" without which we might (or might not) have had a different outcome.<br /><br /> Perhaps Trump's miscalculation was forgetting what actually happened to his mentor's boss. <br /><br /> Perhaps he doesn't care, and is only in it for the clout.

He also disdains the press pool, has repeated dumped the pool and put it into a blacked out room so they couldn't see him playing golf.
