trump is only campaigning to fox news viewers

I follow the news closely and I was amused about how trump tried to attack Joe on Hunter Biden laptop. I have read the WSJ, Fox News, Washington Post and other stories covering this story and I had trouble following trump's attacks. I was amused to see on MSNBC that even Eugene Robinson could not make sense of these attacks. Mr. Robinson and I were not alone. trump was speaking in Fox News speak and only an idiot who watched fox news could understand these attacks







In the comments to one of these twitter threads I found this (yes, I was a star trek =the Next Generation fan)


trump is campaignng to fox news viewers and not to regular intelligent americans who do not watch fox news. Good luck with that plan

3. Not to mention he completely abandoned his act to reach out to viewers on other news networks.

In 2016, he still phoned into CNN and MSNBC to try to reach voters. This year, I don't think he appeared on those networks other than the town halls and the debates.

We will pile on the vote to send foxnews, the ruling elite and white supremacist haters a clear message. We are the angry majority.

That's my meme from now on, the angry majority who remain silent no more

All he does is cater to brain-dead morons who are addicted to that gross channel 24 hours a day. Imagine where we would be without that piece of shit network.

these Nazi rallies are for an audience of one...Trump...they're his ego-feed..because he has zero cognitive awareness, he regards his rancid nonsensical word salad as deep-thought to be shared and admired.. the junk he regurgitates and the crowd's baying approval soothes him....verbal masturbation....

11. They've gotten their stories so mixed up and so conflated that even trump is confused....

Between payments from the wife of the Moscow mayor (false), Hunter Biden now getting paid $180,000 per month (yes, that's what it's up to - it started at about $30,000 per month, then $50,000, then $60,000 - all false), and millions of dollars from China (also false), they don't know what they said yesterday.

And then the "MacBook" (Rudy was holding up an LG laptop!) and the "invoice" (actually a quote) to recover the data from THREE "Macbooks" for $85.00!!!

A computer repair shop would charge more than $85.00 just to assess the condition of one laptop, much less recover the data from three laptops. That's a good $500-1,000 job.

Bottom line, NO ONE knows what they're talking about, including themselves.
