Trump throws out the outrage of the day and it becomes the talking point for us and all media. He has everyone's attention (think toddler behavior). His comments take over media and our attention and this has happened his entire term. We cannot play his game and spend ourselves on his nonsense.
Someone posted that this is like living with an abuser and they are so right. "If you leave me I will take the kids!" "If I lose I will not respect the outcome!"
Just like 2016 he gets media attention and our candidates practically disappear in the cacophony. Media needs to step up and cover Biden as much a trump's bellicose silliness. Biden has ideas for the country and they are not being covered by media. Let's let them know!

(13,280 posts)it was impossible not to bite, because my first thought, when I snapped, would have the secret service banging on my door if it was stated. And I'm not a disabled combat veteran. I can only imagine how pissed off our wounded vets are.
I was clocking a 4-5 hour sleep time, but since his comment, I go to bed angry, wake up angry, and clock in 2 and half hours sleep max. So, it's just too hard not to feel the insult and bite at the hate for that low life.

(22,035 posts)we ignore and not stand up for what is right. The comments he makes should be made public but media fills their space and time addressing his comments to the detriment of our candidate Biden. His comment about not respecting the election outcome could very well be true in his mind, but he has us where he wants us if that takes over all the election coverage.
Most people in this country do not share his beliefs about the losers and suckers comments - including the most ardent trump supporters. I too am distraught as he dismantles our country bit by bit, but the antidote is to get Biden out there on media to offer hope and a return to dignity. Please do not lose a minute of your sleep over this incorrigible narcissistic, drug addled, liar.
