10. Revenge of the Media - They love spectacles and ratings, are intimidated by Trump

Fri Jun 3, 2016, 12:53 AM

Jun 2016

The Media have two pertinent characteristics:

1. They love ratings and reporting on spectacle rather than substance (you can't fight Trump with substance anyway, because he has none.)

2. They hate and are intimidated by Trump and are infuriated by the way he has "used" them.

How fantastic would it be for everybody, news media, reporters, the American people if the news could become a reality show about the meltdown of Trump.

Each news story of his unhinged behavior would enrage him further, get reported with glee, and that would evoke further rage...

Panels of psychologists could be brought to the shows to discuss his psychopathology. People could write in about their experiences of Narcissistic Abuse. It could be discussed what medications might help him. It's fun to dream, but something more subtle, but similar could actually happen if he comes unhinged just once in plain sight.

The media would be just "covering the story". It's not a vendetta or anything - they are just covering what gets ratings, right?
