When someone hosting a program where Trump shows up snaps and says

fuck all - stop the lies, give us a policy position on something, circus Trump will become the laughing stock - that and when his bogus university is condemned in the courts.

It's 24/7 Trump, Trump, Trump...and not the vetting kind but the kind that gives him praise like, "he's strong; he's a rogue; he's unafraid; he's getting huge audiences wherever he goes; he did a call in 25 years ago to promote himself and...was that really his voice?; and on and on and on. It's sickening how U$ Media shills so desperately for a Trump presidency.

His arrogance will get the better of him and it will hit him when he least expects it.

The MSM can only prop him up to a certain point. After that they will have to let him go.

It's far too soon to tell, though, if these spasms of actual questions will actually take hold throughout the media ecosystem. But there have been a few reporters asking Trump specific questions about his public pronouncements. So far, Trump has deflected most of them, but a couple of reporters have even persisted, which appears to rankle the candidate no end.

Time will tell, but as far as the past has been prologue, I'm not particularly sanguine.

as first he tried to deny it; then he was bawling that they were digging up old stuff - I hope I see the meltdown live
