43. So your concern is giving free advertising to the U S President by showing a speech...

in a campaign for the Repub candidate?

IMO, it presented Trump in all his glory. Trump is at his worst at political rallies. No one that I've read, except for Trumpers, were impressed by him. If anything, he was worse than he's ever been. The constant speaking about himself, the arrogance, the needy thing he does by hatefully referring to other people who are not involved in that election, his constant referring to how smart he is, etc.

I don't think it's free advertising, in this case, FOR Trump at all. Because he's so disliked across the country.

Lamb's numbers went up. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that CNN intentionally showed the speech because it knew it would hurt Trump's approval rating.

I don't recall if it aired Obama's campaign speeches for Democratic candidates in special elections. If they do it for one, they should do it for all. If they do it, it doesn't matter who the Prez is.
