That's concerning to me: the media still loves him; the gop still loves him; his maga brainwashed idiots still love him.
But he's a god damned criminal. We know it, and ALL the above know it (except for a percentage of the magas).
If ANYONE else did .5% of what tfg did, they'd be doing prison time immediately.
The gop's plan is to sour the economy (with a little help from their corporate friends), keep covid alive (with help from their boneheaded anti-vaxxers and now truckers), and keep trump in the media (no problem there). I don't know what's going on with putin, but I think that also plays into this.
It's all so the gop can take the house and senate in the fall.
I don't have any answers, because I'm not "the sharpest cookie in the pond," but the Dems need to start getting hold of this free fall.

So he can't really be compared to others . This isn't much different from what went on before he became President.

(54,811 posts)The same BS is going on now that occurred in 2016. The media LOVES this shit. More $$$ for them via ratings. I don't believe this was the situation with the other evil exPOTUSes but we can only really compare Nixon in this extreme case. After Nixon left office the media wasn't the same as it is now. This is a whole different environment and it centers around $$$$$.

I found a post or two with a shopping list of action items.
Whining or winning?
You must choose wisely.

(23,827 posts)If Trump still had Twitter, he'd dominate the coverage. Right now most of the coverage is negative, but if he was Tweeting all day, he'd be totally controlling the media narrative each day.

Keep the loser in the news by pretending he didn't lose and MSM keeps getting fished in.
