Trump started calling the media fake very early in his campaign and he's been "working the referee" ever since.
He's good at it, but referees get tough on teams that do that.
If you want a fair shake, you need to play ball within the rules.
Otherwise they will foul you out, call you for holding, pass interference or you'll throw more balls and less strikes.
It's not the way the game should be played, but the guy working the ref is typically a crybaby at heart anyways.
