I Am Amused By All The Pundits/Programs Who Supported Trump Now Saying He Is Dangerous.

Hillary got bashed from so many sources or was gamed by pundit and TV/Radio programs during the election. If we remember right there was admiration and support for Trump. Now some of these sources want us to forget what they said. The now are saying "I told you so that Trump was nuts."

I guess it is the ratings.

review based on what I have read here. I'm not counting Republicscum pundits...they are supposed to cheer on their fellow scum.
The OP is saying that pundits cheered him on but are now saying he is dangerous and I would like to know who is saying this. I'm normally not watching the news during the day so I'm certainly not seeing everyone.

did not like Trump from early on - Charles Krauthammer, George Will, Rick Wilson, Jennifer Rubin, Ana Navarro and a few others.

Fox News and that crowd have been bigly supporters all along, but they would have supported any GOP nominee.

He had a hit t.v. show and people knew who he was. He had fans (for whatever reason) so they (CNN, MSNBC, Fox, everyone) jumped on for the ratings of showing him. And we ended up with President Moron. Sad! Truly sad. And they can't really walk that back. They helped a moron get elected instead of a strong and capable woman. Disgusting. IMHO.
