To platform his every word.

I wonder if they realize that there are a lot of us that will never come back to their platforms?

a reality show. Got to give it to him - he knows how to use the Presidency to enrich himself and family. And the GOP and his voters think that makes him a fantastic "bidnessman".

The right needs constant reaffirmations that he's "on their side". They need to feel constantly on edge, that "others" are constantly invading, attacking, corrupting our society, etc.

So he has to identify an "enemy" nearly every day.

And he needs the rest of us constantly battling against stupid crap that's all a distraction from him amassing more and more power by any means necessary.


And the media is very necessary and they are more than happy to catapult the propaganda. They could end all this madness in a week if they'd only stick to honest journalistic principles.

I hate him. I hate his giant fat head. I hate his voice. I hate the nonsense that he spews.

I hate his ubiquity. I hate that he's unavoidable. I hate thinking about him.

He is ruining America and dominating our lives. This has been the worst 10 years of my life.

I wish he'd never existed. He's by far the Worst Person in America, and he's vying for Worst Person on the Planet with the murderous monster he's welcoming to Alaska tomorrow.

... and that includes the kid actor who played him on Quantum Leap.

I never see video of him on the internet.

Trump's voice makes my skin crawl. I guess I've had too many bad encounters with assholes just like him. I actively block and avoid any media where I might be exposed to Trump's voice, including certain NPR programs.

out whatever the outrage of the day, it is a just a distraction from the real news Forty years ago he called in every day to promote himself using the name John Barron. He is a cheap con man.
