    To a degree yes but Trump also lives the attention, even if it’s bad attention so the two of them sort of feed off one another. That said, the media isn’t trying the case. Public opinion isn’t going to matter in a court of law. Facts do. Evidence matters. Trump will be convicted or not based upon those, not what the media has said or done.

    i see, so maybe next time the media says trump is going down for sure we should be skeptical.

    given that we just decided we cannot trust the media on whether trump is in trouble, dont you think its fair to say they probably overestimate and mislead the public with respect to the chances of his actual conviction?

    • I think this is the narrative you’d like to stay with….you know, acting as if all of this media attention has happened in a vacuum and without cause. So while I’ll admit that the media can sensationalize things unnecessarily, Trumps own actions have led to the vast majority of the negative attention he has received. And, as much as Trump pretends the media are the enemy of the people, he lives the media attention and used it to get a lot of free advertising during the 2016 election.

      Trump is the perpetual victim. It’s sad to see so many people playing the victim with him and on his behalf. You do this quite a lot…..acting as though all of Trumps problems are someone else’s fault. It’s classic victim mentality. We all, hopefully, raise our children to never act like a victim…to take responsibility for their actions. It’s disheartening to see folks like yourself to excuse it and facilitate it in a 76 year old billionaire.

    remember when adam schiff said he had personally seen proof of trump collusion with the russians? he was lying.

    you should know the pattern by now. say that "in future it will all be revealed. the walls are closing in for sure this time. just you wait and see".

    it never happens.

    this is a technique used by scammers to perpetually lead you on to something that never happens. they have been doing it for 7 years. and you bite EVERY TIME.

    here is a mencken quote, its about communism but it applies here:

    "Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies. When they fail to come off its clergy simply say that they will be realized later on. Thus, if we have another boom, they will argue that the collapse of capitalism is only postponed. The fact that the greatest booms ever heard of followed Marx's formal prophecy of the downfall of capitalism is already forgotten, just as millions have long since forgotten the early Christian prophecy that the end of the world was at hand"

    no for sure they got him this time? oh it didnt happen? lets investigate and get him on this other thing! walls closing in?


    you dont see how this pattern works?

    it has. every single time it has turned out to be nothing.

    no. for example, trump never had shit to do with russia. it was all made up from the very start. it was not his fault. year os bullshit over nothing. zero of it was trumps fault.

    they take something that is provably normal behavior like keeping records (biden has records in his garage, its nothing), and pretend its something uniquely nefarious. hillary was fined for worse campaign shit. or they take advantage of the unsophistication of people who think, for example, foreign efforts to sway an election are something new and wild.

    The media has nothing to do with Trump being on trial for business fraud. Their coverage of Trump has no bearing on whether he committed business fraud or whatever that other charge turns out to be. The liberal media can no more convict him than the conservative media can absolve him.

    I do see the humor in your description of the “scammers” because they detail perfectly how Trump behaves toward everything that comes his way. He grifts, he lies and obfuscates, points the finger and throws as much shit against the wall as he can to see what will stick. It always takes one to know one.
