So an expose about Trump and the show that made him a national figure

is published. Included is how much Trump really didn't understand or care about how the show worked and his blatant racism and misogyny on display, included calling a contestant by the N-word.

https://slate.com/culture/2024/05/donald-trump-news-2024-trial-verdict-apprentice.html

And it feels like a one day story with most who report on politics largely ignoring it.

But Biden is 81.

2. The MSM will continue to ignore it as they've done for some 15 years now. Just as FOX, CNN, NewsMax and the networks...

downplay the fact that TRUMP IS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL.

But Biden is 81.

And trump is no spring chicken either as he'll be 78 next week. They're both basically octogenarians. Biden still has his faculties...trump's have obviously declined.

He lucked up as Comey reopened the so-called investigation into Hillary's emails 11 days before the '16 election.

The convicted criminal's luck ran out last week though.

I've never seen someone evade accountability for so long, especially someone who is so blatantly and proudly corrupt.

And regarding the age "thing" - the difference between a 3 yr old and a 6 yr old is huge, even between 10 and 13.

The difference between 78 and 81 is not even worth mentioning.
