    For the love of god; the media needs to start ignoring the orange idiot.

    Report only on his court cases and their outcomes and nothing more. Give this fool no airtime.

        MAGAs Jan 6ed into the chat.

        Look, Mr. Trump, our Lord and Savior chosen by God, didn’t make any mistake here. He knows his doctor. How many of you know your doctor? You’re too stupid so you don’t know. But Mr. Trump said his doctor’s name, but was actually thinking of a different doctor of his while he has been busy championing for us all. He sees many doctors, not for his horrible shitty lifestyle, but each of his doctors are better than the previous doctor. Each one more cunning, more powerful, sexier, more religious, and did we mention better than the last? “Hyugest doctors of all, ever,” our Lord would say. And how many do the Dems see? Probably one, if even that. Mr. Trump needs those doctors because he’s working to improve his memory, make his brain more big, strengthen his recall so he gets less forgetful of his doctors, and increase the strengthening of his core so that he can empower his raptor-like heel-lift stance and ensure his accordion hands are properly motor-coordinated and stronger than any Democrat - ever. Trump likes doctors, but do you know what he hates? Fake news. And especially - let us be clear - he hates us, too. But we’ll blindly support him because God sent him to save America.

      He’s one of two people who could be president in November. Ignoring such people is not in any way wise.

        It’s so nice too see how americans learned from the past. That worked so well before…

        P.T. Barnum once said, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”. What a moron he was…

      Long term we hope for ignoring him, but short term ignoring him gives the wrong impression to low information voters that he’s just fine, a regular politician. Then it’s just a toss up who they choose. No, he’s a dumpster fire and that needs to be screamed from the rooftops.

      No, they need to actually report on him. That includes the court cases, but also the constant stream of crazy shit that he says at his “rallies,” as well as what his plans are for a second presidency.

      Greed is preventing them. Our news are no longer news, those are entertainment stations looking for spectacle and trump provides plenty of it.

      If our news would just report news, this actually l act wouldn’t be an issue.

      I would encourage to subscribe and support real news sources that do actual real news reporting like AP, Reuters, NPR etc.

          Then there was the fancy mustard incident… It nearly ended the USA as a world power (at least according to the right wing propaganda channels).

          Don’t even get us started on the coffee salute and how it made the military ready to start a coup from the disrespect. /s

          WTF is happening to this nation? Somehow our politics has been taken over by Idiocracy grade stupidity as a matter of course.

    I don’t know, Ronnie Jackson and Ronnie Johnson don’t seem that dissimilar. This doesn’t seem like enough of a story to even write about. There’s so many better topics when it comes to this jackass. Rather not waste time on this.

    Besides, just seems like more of an excuse to keep him in the news. Which only helps him.

      You can say what you said about ANY name, you realize this, right?. Bobby Smith, Robbie Smitts… Jackie Ford, Jenny Delford.

      Sure, those names are close enough to get wrong if they are people you don’t personally know. But Trump KNEW this person. Not only that, Trump is the one bringing the topic up.

      If Robbie Smitts was the name of my doctor, and I’m going to go in front of a crowd and say “HAS ANYONE HEARD OF BOBBY SMITH, CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS? HE WAS THE WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR, A GOOD DR, ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS, AND HE SAID I WAS THE HEALTHIEST PRESIDENT, HE FEELS, IN HISTORY”

      And I do that right after I said “NJM1314 DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD INFLATION MEANS, I CHALLENGE HIM TO TAKE A COGNITION TEST!”

      Then yeah, I got the name wrong of someone I personally know while making fun of your cognitive abilities, and it’s a story to write about.

      If it convinces just one person that he’s too crazy to vote for, it’s worth it.

      And not giving any attention to the negative things about a person who is one of two people who will be president next year and who says he’s going to be a dictator sounds like a mistake to me.
