Whenever you see a MSM headline containing the phrase 'Trump played by...' (e.g. Putin, Xi, the Thanksgiving turkey) you can bet your life this is fake news.

That's because the intent of these stories is really to denigrate Trump.

Those writing the 'played' story simply want to poke Trump's ego with a sharp stick in the hope that he will change course in a fit of pique.

It's all so bleedin' obvious that one wonders why anyone bothers to write this nonsense.

Biden was played for years by his own administration taking advantage of the fact that he was losing his grip on reality.

But FNN doesn't remember many 'Biden played by...' MSM stories then. 

Funny that.
