Yea, so if you could let the media know, that would be great.

No, it's the other way around. The president has to matter less means that the politicians in the houses should have more power and the president less.

The media will report on who has the power, simple as that.

Sounds like they are the problem then to me. They could just be giving airtime to local representatives instead. Even your local mayor. Fortunately local news isn’t god awful about this, but the media decides what it wants to report on. If they want to report every Tweet that comes out of Trump’s account that is a decision they are making. They could just as easily report on numerous other topics.
