The reason it is so dangerous to put Trump on CNN or any non-rightwing media is

he puts out so many massive lies and ridiculous things in one minutes and just blabbers on, he is simply IMPOSSIBLE to fact check and yet he undoubtedly will fool a lot of people who don't know he is lying, don't know the details and will fall for his soft aw-shucks style of taking. I cannot take it, it drives me utterly insane to hear his lies and ridiculous statements.

I've seen a fair amount of Trump on Hal Sparks lately and I just can only handle a few minutes of it, even with Hal stopping it regularly and calling him out on his BS. Even Hal can't keep up with all the BS!

On rightwing media, he sounds just like every other dumb and dishonest pundit they put on, so it's nothing new. But no wonder it rots viewers brains.

Anyway, this dude is a danger.

Yes, it is a disaster. There's no way for even the best reporter to hold him accountable. LymphocyteLover May 2023 #9

Very telling, indeed...

They would just as soon have this country back in the hands of a criminal, insane psychopath!

It should be a disaster for Trump. But it won't be. It will be a ton of questions allowing Trump to rant about mythical Biden and help normalize Trump. It's 2016 all over again.

spew as much BS as possible in as little time as possible, leaving the interviewer to have enough time to counter only one or two of the BS statements, leaving the rest out there without any pushback.

It does take some level of talent, that Trump has mastered, to do this.
