Scott Adams take is interesting. Trump intentionally lies to bring media attention and fact checking. That fact checking fails and people dont remember the fact checking they only remember his statement. Trump uses this to manipulate the news media and people and keep them both focused on what he wants them focused on.
Trump says everyone that wants a test can get a test. The news media focuses on that, fact checks it, finds it false. That turns into noise and all people remember is šAnyone that wants a test can get a testš.
Again interesting take and that might explain the binary opinion on Trump. People that want to believe what he says are reinforced by all the media attention. Other people just see him as someone that lies all the time.
