Marco Rubio speaking to the media filled them in on what Trump is doing: “He plays it like a violin, and everybody falls right into it.”

Senator @MarcoRubio right on the mark… @realDonaldTrump was needling the liberal press who fall for it every time. LOL.pic.twitter.com/F7TAINF10f

“I don’t know if that’s a real request or him just needling the press knowing that you guys were gonna get outraged by it,” Rubio responded. “He’s pretty good at getting everybody fired up, and he’s been doing it for a while now, and the media responded right on task.”

Twitter jumps in:

Trump baits the trap and the media always bites

Rubio seems disappointed that the corrupt media is as stupid as they are and that @realDonaldTrump outsmarts them every time.
