The media needs to stop mentioning trump, same as DU. We are giving him too much importance

That is not playing well for anyone but him and republicans.

The more he is in the news the stronger he gets.

He must become a bad memory, nothing more. We have to start talking, not about him running in 2024, but when he will be taken to prison for all the crimes he has committed throughout his life and during the time he was at the White House. I cannot say "his presidency" because as a president he was a zero, he never meant to govern, he was there trying to find out how he could benefit monetarily from the position he fell into. He could care less if the USA fell in the hands of Putin as long as he benefited financially from it.

So please, lets stop talking about the guy, he doesn't deserve our attention. At least lets get one post where we can gather all the information we may need to know about his legal troubles.

Lawrence O'Donnell had two gests last night and the entire conversation was about what trump was going to do/say about the infrastructure talks, "how is he going to influence it?" Who cares what the guy says, by holding an entire segment on him we are telling republicans that we care, that we are worried about what the guys says and does...No we don't, lets help republicans get away from trump and we will do that when we let the World know we don't care about what he does, he is just a bad memory who will soon be jailed. PLEASE!

It is impossible to ignore him after January 6th.

He just refused to accept defeat, and he’s brainwashing his cult members to commit violence.

He’s an ongoing threat.

He is still an ongoing threat and has not been held accountable. We came close to losing our democracy and we cannot just put that behind us and move on.

When all the investigations are over, then he can become a chapter in the history books, but unfortunately for right now, he must be kept alive and in the public eye. How quickly many people forget and often in a short period of time. In retrospect some will start to think, "Hey, he wasn't THAT bad". We can't let that happen. When Trump is retired to the history books, it absolutely must be as the worst, most corrupt U.S. president ever.

The MSM is doing the same thing that they did after TFG came down the escalator. During the run-up to that election - it was all Tr**p -all the time.
He was in the news constantly and he loved it and he took advantage of that.

It was so nice - right after Biden's inauguration - the period we went through where TFG was not even mentioned.

That's changed now and every newscast or news program - network and cable - it seems they have to mention TFG in some way, shape or form.

What happened to out of sight - out of mind.

Don't keep feeding his ego. There was that period when he was kicked off social media -that gave us all a breather and we were able to get a good nights sleep.

That seems to be over for now - because MSM has found that what TFG says is true. He claims the media needs him because he gets people to tune in.

Well it's time to really tune him out.

be ignored. The time, the importance that Lawrence gave him last night was insane, I had to switch channels, it was disgusting.

He needs to be ignored or only discuss about his future in jail, his legal troubles, but not as the leader of the republican party, whether its true or not, he must be weakened, all news about him must be negative, about his legal troubles, not about how commanding he is in the republican party, that only gives him strength and makes it difficult for republicans to abandon him for good, we are in essence creating a dependence on republicans about the buffoon.

The only thing newsworthy about him is his legal troubles and the high probability that he will spend the rest of his life in jail, nothing else. Why should the opinion of an ignorant like him be newsworthy? He has nothing to contribute to any political discussion, his intentions are not to help or contribute, his intentions are only to create more hate and division.

He is a useless noise machine, turn him off.

After Biden was sworn in, TFG was an ugly history blip.

"TFG is gonna have a rally"
"TFG's speech at CPAC"
"Ivanka...." etc...

I don't have an issue with investigations of TFG, but focusing on TFG's current campaigning is giving him too much attention.

Just my opinion....

on his legal troubles, lets give him headaches about his legal troubles, repeat everyday how he, and his kids will end up in jail, hammer it every day, but don't do a session of your show wondering what he will say, what his opinion will be about the infrastructure talks, that is giving him strength and value, and he has none of either.

Everyday when referred to him the talk should be about his crimes, his legal troubles, the investigations, nothing else.

Yes, he can't be totally ignored, but why do we need to look at or listen to him?????

His wicked nefarious efforts to become the rat-king of the universe cannot be denied, but------attention is what he craves. Why give it to him incessantly??????
