If you want to ensure that reporters jump on something, lie about it. Trump saying that he had no idea who was involved with this inspired stories about how, obviously, he did - many were former staff admin. All was reported last year! He just gave it a fresh hook, it was crazy.

When you consider how many times he’s gotten away with ridiculous lies about his own positions on these issues, it’s not surprising he tried it again.

Was it the Oliver and Taraji P. Henson got it covered in the entertainment news that he actually cares about and then he did the denial? Not sure what the precise timeline is.
