Again The MSM Is Normalizing The Craziness Of Trump......

They are giving him air time to continue his lies to the American People with his fear campaign. They are giving him a chance to lie his way out of the corner he's backed himself into with this Wall and the Trump Shutdown.

They are giving him a chance to once again shift the blame to the Dems - Chuck and Nancy.

As long as the MSM keeps normalizing Trump's behavior - he'll keep on pushing for even more crazy until he destroys the country.

Are we at the point of a 'constitutional crisis' yet? Every time we reach one of Trump's crazy distractions, delusions or destructions - I hear a talking head say we're in a 'constitutional crisis'. The MSM then normalizes Trump's behavior and no crisis is ever recognized and dealt with.

Trump is pushing now to declare a National Emergency - to save face and get his bogus Wall built. I think this situation rises to the level of a Constitutional Crisis and I hope that this time it is recognized as such and is dealt with.

Trump needs to be stopped.

They foisted Trump on us in the first place and mean to keep him there no matter if he burns the Constitution on the White House front lawn and declares himself dictator for life!
The MSM will be there to blame it all on the democrats and their QUOTE "unlikable" candidates!!



Leslie Moonves on Donald Trump: "It May Not Be Good for America, but It's Damn Good for CBS"
11:26 AM PST 2/29/2016 by Paul Bond

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a "circus" full of "bomb throwing," and he hopes it continues.

If this guy is as crazy as he seems, I cannot blame them for documenting it. That they hesitated to air it at all shows the gravity of the situation.

Let's wait and see how they handle it.

If they show his speech and then comment later how sane and right he was then you would be correct. Since that hasn't happened then you are incorrect.

I suggest strongly that they ask for it. That would put MSM in a corner.

If you watch Trump when he speaks off the cuff, you can tell that he is mentally ill. But his craziness is "manna from Heaven" for the talking heads. Cable talk show ratings are at an all time high. Major newspapers are making the first decent profits in years. Why would they point our that we are watching a crazy man? Instead they have learned, respected experts having serious discussions on the weird things he says.

It is like the old tale about the emperor who has no clothes, instead it is the emperor who is bat shit crazy!

reported on his lies. I think you may be confusing the MSM's responsibility to report on the POS, and their responsibility to expose lies, temper tantrums, the fact that he frequently makes deals and then breaks them, and his dangerously impulsive "decisions." Trump embodies two different concepts, one is the office of president, and the other is of a mentally deranged man. The MSM have to report on both.
