Ideas for comabatting Trump.

[LAS14]

Here's a suggestion to the media. Please submit ideas of your own.

Instead, what if instead of making this “illegal votes” episode a story about a “tweet” or a “lie” or even a liar, the media made it a story about a serious and dangerous claim by our president-elect? What if you actually doubled-down on the “normalizing” and gave Trump every opportunity to back up his claims with evidence? What if you refused to move on from this very serious issue and instead demanded that he explain seriously and at length why he believes that three million illegal votes were cast, and why they were cast only for Clinton?

What if you refused to move on from this one tweet for several weeks? What if the media did that for every dangerous claim made by this (elected) administration, baseless or otherwise? Don’t accuse him of lying. Instead, force him to use his platform to either back it up or back down. Don’t try to shoot him; give him a rope to hang himself with

1. Well, having him fall into a 4 year long coma might do the trick

but then we have to comabat Pence too.

7. I think Mickey Mantle

hit a home run while in a coma in 1957.

2. Send him a bucket of KFC and a box of cigars every day.

It might not take too long.

3. IMO, the best way

to combat Trump is to just let him be himself. He can do a good enough job on his own making himself look like an assclown.

Then turn the late night show hosts and SNL on him and watch the fun.

4. We said that during the election season.

6. THIS x 1,000,000 - the focus should be 99 percent on congress

1) Congress is where the most damage is going to done.
2) I don't know how much more evidence people need that Trump is unassailable. He is a self indulgent moron, and as such a reflection of where this country is. If someone does not get how horrible he is now, there is no TELLING THIS, and honestly, the more us america hating liberals try to tell people how bad he is, the more they rally behind him.

There is NOTHING WE can do or say to turn the light on for the idiots around us. They have to figure it out on their own.

Our focus should be primarily on Congress - fighting tooth and nail against the horrific run of legislation that is coming.

5. if only.............

the media had the guts instead of profit as their guiding light. Only true liberals and progressives would probably tune in to watch what you suggest. Repubs would not, therefore with viewing numbers down their ratings go down and advertisers flee. True journalism in this country in DEAD. We will hear, read, see nothing but what the PTB want us to consume. And that consumption does not include truth as an entree.............
