## Analysis: Post x_807427326522884096 (2016-12-10)

### Overview
A routine "Thank You Tour" post directed at Michigan, promising job restoration and using the signature MAGA slogan. Part of Trump's post-election victory lap through swing states.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Birth of "FAKE NEWS" as a Weapon: Trump Denies and Claims Credit for The Apprentice in the Same Breath**

Trump spent the day juggling post-rally victory laps from Louisiana and Michigan with a defensive fight over CNN reports about his continued ties to The Apprentice. In a revealing pair of posts, he insisted he had "NOTHING" to do with the show while simultaneously claiming he conceived it and holds a big financial stake -- a contradiction that neatly captures his competing needs for both deniability and credit. The day also marks one of his earliest uses of "FAKE NEWS" to attack mainstream journalism, a rhetorical move that would define his media strategy for years to come. He attended the Army-Navy game and praised Rudy Giuliani for stepping aside from consideration for Secretary of State, keeping the tone otherwise upbeat and self-congratulatory.
