Summary:

Donald Trump tearing George Stephanopoulos a new asshole

Body:

I'm not going to be overly analytical in this discussion, but I had to post this. This is one of the strongest examples of holding frame that I have ever seen. It has been discussed here that Trump elicits a very strong frame, otherwise he would have been destroyed by the media and the public would ubiquitously hate him if he said all of the controversial shit he says whilst having a weak frame. That last statement is super important. Trump would be no where if he had a weak frame. Saying controversial things and not being able to hold your own is a death sentence socially, suicide politically. Trump obviously gives no fucks.

This entire video is grounded upon Trump being hen pecked. It's only use is to indirectly make him look worse, more unfavorable and a questionable figure. Turns out that a crew of discussion experts feeding into an earpiece to counter him didn't do shit. In fact, instinctively, he comes out of this 'interview' looking better to everyone, even if some people can't stand that fact. The discussion on this video basically lays out the obvious, that Trump destroyed the competition and held impeccable frame. One thing I would like to see is some more analysis specifically on how he does it and the structure he lays out because were all super interested in frame control.

Lessons Learned:

Frame control can completely overturn a discussion. One source with strong frame vs one without, the former will trump in success.
