A lot of people say that he "manipulates the media", as though he's some genius puppetmaster. I have yet to see him actually manipulate the media outside of simply being controversial, which requires little intelligence, and in any case has frequently backfired on him.
I think you give Trump far too much credit. Only a couple days ago, he confused the Baltics with the Balkans. I struggle to believe he has the mental wherewithal to conduct a sophisticated media operation from his Twitter account.
