The Loomer/pet "show" is very amusing to the corporate media I guess

They will harp on it nonstop because it's easy to cover (and they are lazy), and it's like a trainwreck so it will ensure some viewership. But as usual, as with everything, they will dance around the real issue for hours and days on end.

The real issue is cheato is stupid and unfit. He believes everything he sees on FAUX news. He listens to anyone who will tell him he's great, and he will believe any asinine thing they feed him.

So the obvious point to anyone with two brain cells to rub together is that this person will pick individuals like Loomer to staff his administration if he's ever allowed back in the Oval Office. That's the point. It might not be as much fun to cover as the other crap, but it is obviously true.

He also asserted that we can't really know if Trump is being unduly influenced by her.

Neither of those are quite true.

The Haitian migrant story is really bad for Trump, and it appears that he got this story from her consult. So, she is having an effect on the outcome of the race (bad for Trump, good for us).

as the sideshow freaks. People know it's gonna be horrifying but will look anyway.

He staffed his original freak show with Russians, criminals, degenerates and traitors, who would expect anything else.
