(3,926 posts)The President of the US is NEVER waked up at 2:00 AM and told he must make a decision within the next 2 minutes or the world will come to an end.
Before it gets to POTUS, it has been verified, double-checked, allies consulted, courses of action developed and war-gamed.
Interviews are unrealistic because they demand a full PhD dissertation in response, but it's this shit that gave rise to Trump because Clinton, Biden, Obama, and even Republicans need time to think about it, weight their answer, and consider the impact of their words. Trump, on the other hand, does not give a rat's ass about the results of what he says -- he responds instantly with memorized, made up lies and bullshit. And it's working . . . "the media" are comparing a serious leader to a piece of shit . . . and they are pulling for the piece of shit.
Trump has said one of his first actions will be to shut down the "liberal media". I don't know how he thinks he will do that, but, I'm betting the people at Project 2025 have it all worked out. Fuck 'em all -- CNN, Stephanapolous, NYT, WashPost . . . serve them right to be hanged on the National Mall.
