Say what you want about Donald Trump but one thing is for sure, he is one enterprising man. He has managed to turn the tide to his favor in the recent exposures of his and rival Lindsey Graham's cellphone numbers.
When Gawker revealed to the world one of Trump's cellphone numbers, every fan, hater, and troll in the world dialed in and the number naturally got flooded with messages. However, from the initial, "Please leave your name and message and we'll get back to you shortly" voicemail, it now goes to a full campaign message from Trump himself.
Thank you @gawker! Call me on my cellphone 917.756.8000 and listen to my campaign message.

Not bad Mr. Trump. Clearly, the Republican frontrunner intends to use every bit of information thrown against him to his advantage. Below is a video of the complete voice mail from the presidential hopeful himself:
In here he invites everyone to help make America truly great again, his campaign slogan. His campaign adviser Michael Cohen went to the press with a statement saying, “When Lindsey Graham's cell number was released to the public, his response was to set the cell phone on fire and destroy it with a bat, an ax and a cinder blocks which is actually not good for the environment.”
He also adds, "Donald Trump turns the number into a campaign announcement that has received within the first few hours tens of thousands of calls. Now do you see the difference between Donald Trump and the rest of the field?"
Even opponents of a Trump Presidency have to admit that his latest move was expertly done. If Lindsey Graham has a crafty response to this, now would be a good time as Trump only sees opportunities with every attack his rivals launch at him.
