Trump is gonna be on NBC tonight. So what?

Every time bat crap crazy Trump is on TV or out in public it costs him votes and does
not gain he any more support. Trump will have his 25 to 30% base but his support is
eroding by the hour and the more people see what a train wreck he is the more support
he will lose.

By the way Trump will be so hopped up on God only knows what drugs he might have a real
melt down or suffer some kind of cardiac or cerebral accident on live TV.

Still pissed at NBC though. There’s a lot of stupid people that will see this, hear this, never see/hear a contradiction and who could be persuaded to stop voting for Joe because “Gee, it sounds like they’re all crooks after all.”

Only way NBC-ya-later could remedy is with real time fact checking and muting out Trump to every time they have to deal with his lies.

no matter where he shows up. Except or course when he gets arraigned for his crimes.

Since Trump always seems so focused on ratings, it would be so sweet to see him taken down by Biden's ratings.

But it's NBC's judgment to reward Trump for ducking the debate and to position it directly opposing Joe Biden's appearance that IMO is unforgivable.

Secondly, Trump won't just be on NBC: He'll be on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC YouTube and NBC's Telemundo channel, whereas Joe will only be on ABC. So when it comes to ratings (nowadays including viewings), Trump has a fivefold advantage not afforded Joe Biden.
