Will someone please tell me why

The orange babbling baboon routinely uses the justification that these late-night comedians have "No talent" and of course "No ratings" as the reason they should be taken off the air. In spite of multiple Emmy Awards and highly rated programs being the reality, the issue is really not the overt lie he is spewing but rather what the hell difference does it make whether these programs have either talented hosts or high ratings? You and I know the real reason baboon breath wants the shows shut down is his chronic dermatological condition of thin skin.
Why does no one asking the question, simply follow up with, "What difference does the talent level or ratings of any of these shows matter to you personally Mr. President? Are you moonlighting as a TV critic these days?"
We might actually get the real reason he hates them in one of his well-known accidental truth telling moments. But nobody ever risks his wrath. What a cowed media we have in this country.

You want us to justify and try to understand the ramblings of Trump? Who knows. I think he’s probably in business mode and since ratings are down from where they used to be it’s clearly because of the host and not a general trend so they should be replaced.

It's that simple. And it's true EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS.

I never believed in infallibility, but this is INFALLIBLE.

No, I take it back...he's not an artist, he's just a bullshitter.
