    He is out of touch with reality. His words indicate that. His rage and self pity .......and projection are of a pathological degree.

    Now that he has surfaced again......we might be hearing a lot more of his toxicity.. The sad fact is that his followers are not helping him face reality one little bit. Nor is the GOP........for their own selfish reasons.

    At the very least......trashing his successor is really bad form. It is bottom feeder behavior. Too uncouth.......for an X POTUS......who should have more dignity . For someone that says others have no class......he should look in the mirror. ( remember his bad comportment when he was with the Queen (for eg) He can't even be courteous.

    If he was not Russia's stooge, then why did he behave like one? Why did he hump Putin's leg for 4 years? As for him being the victim of the media, - he is a whiner. He loves two things: 1. Playing the victim. 2. The media talking about him.

    Heck, they are practically bribing people to take the vaccine. Everyone who wants one, can get one, so nothing is being removed. Who told you that?

    What did he lie about? The crowd size? That 3% GDP growth is "best economy in history of mankind"? That Corona is under control? His 'best health care for everyone' was coming in 2 weeks? Politicians lie, but no one lies as much as your boy.

    Yet Trump still pulls in 100 times the viewers that Biden does. Biden is lucky if he gets 1,000 viewers.

    Trump was tougher on Russia than previous presidents. For libs the only thing that counts are hysterical memes.

    Viewers of what? Why should a thing like number of viewers matter to anyone except Trump and his apologists?

    LOL. He couldn't stop humping Putin's leg.

    Because they are responsible for reporting the news whether they like the news or not.

    They did, and it infuriated Trump, or at least he pretended to be infuriated.

    The truth is that Trump believes in "even bad press is better than no press at all". When he was younger in NYC, he'd say it was a bad week if his name was NOT mentioned in a NY tabloid. The poor guy is addicted to hearing people talk about him. As you probably noticed, he got lots of free air-time by using the Covid briefings to campaign for 2020 elections.

    As for this 'rally', - no, the media is not responsible to air it. Why do you think its 'news'?

    Because Trump is a newsworthy person. As an example he is mentioned in most threads on this forum right now.

    Maybe his speeches are newsworthy to you, but the media is not responsible to air his nonsense, so they chose not to do that.

    I already know that. But they do have the responsibility. You misunderstand me. I don't want to hear Trump rant any more than you do. I'm just not a partisan like you are.

    No, they have any responsibility to invest their resources to broadcast speeches of ex-presidents.

    As an independent I don't have a party and even if I did, this doesn't have anything to do with either party.

    Truly, that would be lovely. I can think of nothing nicer than forgetting all about him. Unfortunately, however, he is insisting upon jamming his foot in the door as we try to close it. In his desperation to cling to relevance, he is continuing to spread the big lie and his toadies continue to do his bidding. The Arizona audit looks like it will only be the first in a string of attempts across the country. So while I turn off any coverage of him on tv, his fingers are still in a few pies that matter.

    Particularly when they are in the process of canceling him.

    No, they NEVER have such responsibility.

    Its weird certain politicians think private media companies have the responsibility and even the legal obligation to invest their resources to promote politicians who label media as "enemy of the state". DeSantis (FL) even signed such mandate into a law in Florida. They trash these companies non-stop, and then they create laws to force them to help their campaigns. Go figure.......Sounds like something Saddam Hussein would have done.

    They are like the annoying drunk at the golf club who demands to use the club facilities as he wishes, and a politician creates a law to force the club to accommodate him.

    I don't care what politicians want. No point in offering that up. The media doesn't have the responsibility to cover a war either but they aren't competent if they don't.

    You're comparing a former politician giving a speech wearing his pants backwards to US going to a war.......?

    He thrives on the attention. I would just dismiss him as that "crazy uncle" that shows up and starts ranting but he's proven that he has total control over the party. As long as they are ask "How high?" when he says "Jump" he is a danger.

    How the heck do you miss somebody that won't go away? ;-)
