I am getting sick and tired of Trump's utterances being reported as if

[Susan Calvin]

He is sane and trustworthy.

What set me off in particular was the reporting that he is supporting Florida's marijuana legalization, if it is done "correctly," according to him.

The only thing in the world that particular statement means is that he hopes it will get him votes.

Same for his flip-flopping on abortion. The only thing it means is he is trying to get votes.

What he will actually do, if, God forbid, he gets elected or selected, is whatever his foreign and domestic handlers want.

1. Me too.

Kamala Harris calls him an “unserious candidate” which is a good description. He says anything no matter how bizarre or untrue in order to grab the headlines away from the VP.

[Susan Calvin]

2. And then the news outlets report it as if he were a serious candidate.

Or a serious human being, for that matter. He can do serious damage, but that does not mean he is a serious person.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. It's getting so bizarre

I can’t imagine how his fans rationalize his lies even to themselves.

Very few in the MSM have the spine to state that he is completely nutso.

[Zoomie1986]

22. They rationalize his lies

Because they have been brainwashed since birth to ignore reality and believe what pre-chosen authority figures have told them to do.

It's called religion, and believing what Dear Leader says without question is one of its logical outcomes. Doesn't matter if Dear Leader is the sky daddy or his agent on earth or whoever they seem to favor. Any of those authority figures can do the thinking for them, so they don't have to. Doesn't matter what he (and it's always a he) said in the past. If they say it, you believe it, no matter what.

And so they fall right into line, like always.

24. Lack of Spine AND 30 pieces of Silver.

That's why I quit watching any main stream TV news EXCEPT MSNBC.

And why I instead rely on a bevy of reputable, trustworthy, and totally professional Independent Media on the Internets.

Want Blood, Gore, Bread and Circuses, well the M$M will certainly oblige.

Want facts and rational opinion, then go on a Surfin' Safari!

4. Disgusting when media yakkers refer to what he might say about whatever issue and how they

want to conduct deferential interviews.

[Emile]

5. It will be petrichor all across the United States

on the day they lock his sorry ass up!

[sorcrow]

19. What a great word

Petrichor

I had to look it up.

6. Don't think anyone believes what trump says nowadays. trumpsters don't care, but they know he's lying.

[Susan Calvin]

8. But the M$M, for the most part,

Reports it as serious utterances by a serious candidate.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. I can only speak for me but I am bored

to death of Trump and the horrible job the media is doing. I have just stopped paying attention to a lot of it. I just want Trump gone along with all his crooked buddies. I don't even care how they get goned.

[Susan Calvin]

11. Oh, absolutely the same here.

I'm not complaining about what I'm complaining about as it affects me. I'm complaining about it because of what it says about the media, and because there may still be some fools out there who are swallowing it whole.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. The media is always going to follow the

biggest story. But the Trump story is not hot anymore. He not THE RATINGS MAGNET anymore. He's old old old in every way. He was talking about blow jobs and golden showers with hookers. For godsake. He's down to political porn.

[Vinca]

7. He's rarely challenged by the media. I was really pissed at the reporter who said nothing when he was

babbling about Minnesota having a law that lets them execute babies after birth.

[Susan Calvin]

9. And, now that I think of it,

The reporting that he's distancing himself from Project 2025, credulously assuming that means something. Again, all it means is that he is trying to get votes.

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. I wonder if he sees votes as ratings. You

do whatever it takes to get ratings.

[PCIntern]

12. It reminds me of the lede in the old days:

(In an excited voice) “Today, Saddam Hussein said…” as though anything he “said” was close to the truth or reality.

K and R

[Bev54]

15. More likely he is looking to make money off it, more than votes

[BOSSHOG]

16. I will vote against trump and I will do it correctly

He doesn’t give a fuck what he will do as long as he’s not in jail. He will however try to harm his “enemies.” Ya know, the good guys.

[nature-lover]

17. Once a week, on Friday, make a list of all of the nonsense and publish or air it. No picture!

[rurallib]

18. It really pisses eye off when NPR does so

especially at breakfast time.

I listen to them because I still think they are closest to an unbiased newer. I know I am wrong but it is a holdover idea from the Bob Edwards era.

[Onthefly]

20. Agree. NPR nonchalantly reports his blathering as if it's normal.

Tired of NPR’s both sides perspective. What TSF says is dangerous even when it is nonsensical.

[Figarosmom]

21. It also means

He's lost churchy people .and is trying to get young people. All of a sudden he's not courting the anti abortion, anti birth control, anti ivf-iui births. Of course he could be privstely meeting with them and telling them it's all politics and he's just saying that to get elected. He knows once he's elected he can do whatever he wants and not worry about ever having to run again because he'll be potus until he hands it oblver to sonny boy.(barren that is not jr.)

[AllaN01Bear]

23. sick and tired of hearing about him 24/7

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. "If it is done correctly" TRANSLATION

"If I get s piece of the action."

His support of anything is defined in terms of how it benefits him, especially with respect to money.

I honestly don't believe he is considering votes when he says this. I think his syphillitic brain soup is focusing on the profitability of the cannabis industry and how he can cash in.
