Why do we keep reporting everything Trump says and does?

[left-of-center2012]

Everyday there are new threads on DU about his latest comments, actions, threats;
what he might do, where he might go.

Why ?

[leftieNanner]

1. Because he is still dangerous

It's good to be aware.

Plus it's difficult to look away from a train wreck.

[Scrivener7]

2. I am with you. It gives him power.

[Walleye]

3. I believe he is a constant threat to democracy around the world. We've got to find a way to stop hi

[OLDMDDEM]

4. Hi is insignificant

He is now proven to have known he lost the election. Why bother with him? He is an insignificant POS.

[Nictuku]

5. The worst punishment for him is to ignore him.

[Rebl2]

30. True

I don’t really want to know what he is doing, but he needs to be watched like a hawk by those who can stomach it. If you don’t want to read what is said on DU about him, don’t read it.

[PoliticAverse]

6. Some people are addicted. n/t

[Raine]

16. Exactly. nt

[paleotn]

52. Agreed.

[Croney]

7. At least call him TFG. No need to say his name.

[totodeinhere]

10. I think that's silly.

Everybody knows what his name is. Why not say it? Saying his name in no way endorsed him.

[Raine]

15. Agree nt

[doc03]

22. I like "The Loser" myself nt

[Tommymac]

34. Not for me. It saves my life. My Blood pressure goes sky high when I write his name.

[Faux pas]

8. ...

I think we should ignore him. Talking and writing about him plays into his gigantic ego and keeps him relevant to the "others". Take away the media and he has nothing. The media created the monster, they are responsible.

[bringthePaine]

32. yes! if necessary, refer only by third person pronoun, and NEVER quote verbatim

[Faux pas]

45. Agree

[TheProle]

11. Rec. Would rec again.

[totodeinhere]

12. I would rather stay informed on what he is up to.

You know the old saying, "know thy enemy."

[Thomas Hurt]

13. We need to be aware of what people who want to be dictator of our country are doing.

[KentuckyWoman]

14. Car wrecks and parking lot carnivals

Same thing.

Add in the outrageous factor that gets talk radio ratings and put Jerry Springer at the top.

[USALiberal]

17. Because it is a discussion forum, you are free to ignore them! Nt

[left-of-center2012]

18. OMG !

Thanks

[USALiberal]

19. No problem! Nt

[fescuerescue]

20. We did the same about Bush until Palin came on the scene.

we will probably keep talking about Trump, until the next Republican emerges.

He will be worse than Trump. Much more evil. Much more dangerous etc. Basically Trump 2.0. He's out there. Somewhere I guarantee it.

Then we will talk about him for about 8 years.

[kacekwl]

21. Because

He's not in fucking jail.

[MenloParque]

23. Exactly!

I don’t understand how a person can live rent free in so many sheeples heads! Like there is a syndrome or something! Leave it. Everyone is familiar with Sun Tzu…no one on this board is in position to be keeping your enemies close! 😂

[Brainfodder]

24. So we know when to celebrate our asses off when the time comes?

We are past impatient, and at frantic, right?

[iemanja]

27. The time came.

[MissMillie]

25. Because it's entirely possible that the GQP will nominate him again

And his actions/behavior should be public knowledge

[Treefrog]

36. Knowing that he had a video golf game set-up just doesn't qualify lol.

Or knowing he’s afraid of lions…or a hundred other silly subjects.

[MissMillie]

37. Well, those are the ones I don't click on

but there is stuff we do need to know.

[Treefrog]

50. But, I think that's the point of the op. There's so much we DON'T need to know.

But people seem addicted to him.

[iemanja]

26. Much of it is gratuitous

and shows the same fixation with Trump that characterized his presidency.

[housecat]

28. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

[yaesu]

29. I've been asking that very question for months, I can understand MSM wanting to keep their creation

in the spotlight but those of us here shouldn't be repeating any of the flushed turds propaganda.

[left-of-center2012]

31. It's an addiction

Like talking about an ex-wife.

[Treefrog]

33. "We" sure don't. But he does seem to be living rent-free in many people's heads.

And Susan Sarandon? I can’t believe anyone gives a rat’s ass what she says, tweets, or thinks.

[Bobstandard]

35. Because his followers pay attention..

Lao Tzsu said, “know your enemy.” If we don’t keep track of him here, then where?

[rickyhall]

38. We can ignore him but his followers don't. Why I think he should be gagged.

If he told his followers to physically attack liberals we know many would do it.

[CapnSteve]

39. This +1,000,000. Take away his oxygen...

…and he will whither and disappear.

The only news about that family that I would gladly read is indictments, warrants, arrests and prison.

[cab67]

41. For the same reason people keep reporting on the Kardashians.

[NurseJackie]

42. Be prepared. It's the same reason that Zebras don't ignore the Spotted Hyenas.

I'm sure they're tired of them... but if they let their guard down, then they pay the price.

[monkeyman1]

43. personally , I like - " Individual # 1 " , kind of has a nice ring to it !

[Evolve Dammit]

49. I prefer "indicted." Here's hoping.

[ecstatic]

44. I agree! WTF? When he got the boot from twitter, we got much

needed relief, but now people are still scrambling to get quotes and statements from him from God knows where. I mean, he's banned from every major platform. Fuck him. Let him go!

[left-of-center2012]

46. I wonder if TFG follows us online?

[AZLD4Candidate]

47. Media loves train wrecks

We need to know what the enemy is doing to plain either a pro-active assault or a counter active

Considering he and his ilk keep making mistakes, as Sun Tzu said: "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

[Evolve Dammit]

48. Thank you.

[marieo1]

51. Disgusting piece of humanity

I have always thought the same thing...........to give him publicity is to validate him. The entire media is guilty of reporting every single thing DJT does or says.....WHY? He needs to be in prison to pay for his crimes. Lock him up................I am sick and tired of being bombarded with DJT.....PLEASE STOP NOW!!

[paleotn]

53. It's like a car wreck.

It's hard not to stare. But I do get your point. The worst thing we can all do to him is ignore him.
