Why Dump attacks the press

According to Lesley Stahl's 2016 off camera conversation with candidate Dump he said: "You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you." He admits to gaslighting. Of course, Dumpsters will think even this fact is fake news and not believe it. Mission accomplished Fuhrer and your Goebbel's counterpart Huckabee-Sanders.
