after Barbara Walters died, there was a clip of her interviewing tfg back in the early 90’s. She cut him no slack. When he tried to interrupt her, she wasn’t having it. She talked right over him. She seemed to be questioning his wealth and how much debt he had. Why oh why didn’t the media go after him like that, like you say, in 2015 & 16.

The Big Orange Pig was great for ratings. Each media conglomerate saw the shift in viewership Fox enjoyed by their non-stop coverage of The Pig. Roger Ailes was pushing Trump before he rode down the golden escalator. He was more responsible than anyone for Trump's rise to the top.

The other media machines took note of this and didn't want to be left out of the race to the bottom.

Seems to be their fallback plan for the moment. But he’s got plenty of baggage (Migrantgate, for example).

DeathSentence has absolutely NO charisma; he makes Al Gore look good in that category by comparison. And his voice is so whiny and grating, he definitely fails the “wanna have a beer with” test: You simply can’t stand to hear him talk.

The man has absolutely no charisma or personality. Basically, he has no real national appeal and he doesn't know how to put on a clown show. He would do nothing for ratings.

But we see from his white boots that he can put on a clown shoe. Does that count?

He does other shoe stuff, such as wear lifts. Like trumpty-dumpty, it results in this awkward stance of looking like he is going to fall on his face at any minute.

That might seem like a small thing, but it causes audience tension. 😬

but I didn't know he wore lifts like Trump.

Well, he may be a clown, but not a Trump caliber clown. The Fox News and Newsmax audience really likes a circus!

Who wants to spend New Year's Eve with the orange bloated tick? Not even Newsmax could be enticed.
Especially after the last foolishness with the fake trading cards. They aren't falling for it again.

The loudmouth dipshit throws a party for himself ( being the over the top malignant narcissist he is, it’s always about him) and the intended audience never shows up. How’s it feel Donnie ?
The whole world is laughing at you, especially all the MAGA morons who are in prison and others who are soon to follow, thanks to your insurrection “ leadership “ and all the rest you have shit on through out your miserable life. Enjoy.

Rodeo clowns provide a vital service. Comparing Trump to a rodeo clown is an insult to rodeo clowns.

Other than that, yeah. Trump got the news coverage he deserves.
