As I see CNN reprising their role as Trump’s publicity firm, I wish I still had the screenshot I took during the previous presidential primaries of CNN devoting more than half of their election page to Trump.

But a random trip down the Wayback Machine to 2016, really, the first date I looked at, reaffirms my memory. CNN game Trump the first headline, the most headlines, the biggest headlines (including one titled Trump: Media King), and featured him in the most photos. I guess at CNN they call those the good old days.
