Like an unattended plant that has no brain, Trump will wither up and die if the media simply ignores

him. They could have stopped him three years ago had they just ignored his fake appearances when he was ranting his early lies.

to his upcoming "rallies". Wall to wall coverage will be the order of the day, because the media is more attuned to entertainment than it is reporting actual news people can use.
The media was a great contributor to TFG getting elected in 2016. Without all the free publicity they gave that rectal carbuncle we wouldn't be having the ridiculous war on democracy we're having right now.

To keep his name in the headlines to be relevant again, and the media gets player again . Donors and voters are running away from him, which means a smaller grift for his pockets. This is all just another con job for his pr campaign to generate money for his own pockets, and to project his propaganda with. The media is complicate.

after nearly 6 years of having to hear his bullshit, but the media refuses to let go. They're determined to make tRump relevant again. The only thing I want to hear about him is when he'll be indicted. That's it.

Plants have a function, a redwood grows to enormous height creating its' own weather. A virus, more dead than alive, sucks the life away from productive function.
