I don't think the national media outlets are reporting on Trump's prepared public speeches as much as they used to. Do you? I have bitched about the amplifier effect before and it seems to me they are finally getting wise. Even Trump complained that his speech at West Point wasn't covered. Now, that was on...Oh! And then there was his speech at Cape Canaveral. That was the one he complained about being ignored, not the one at West Point. I assumed his 4th of July Klan rally at Mount Rushmore was, like, on the 4th of July. It was last night. The New York Times had a brief mention of it today. Part of the reason for this, if it really is happening, is that, Friday night? Dude, that is like the worst time slot there is. The Cape Canaveral speech was on a Saturday afternoon as I recall. Okay, Saturday afternoon is worse than Friday night. Tulsa was a Saturday night. On all of these though the coverage I remember reading about, the excerpts that were tweeted or clipped in the newspapers, were all him making an ass of himself. Who remembers anything about what he said in Tulsa other than "Kung Flu" and "I told them, 'Slow down the testing.'"? By far the most viewed and replayed part of the Tulsa disaster was the Walk of Shame lolol. If this is true: Good. Media coverage made Trump in 2016. It was the air he breathed. The media, especially CNN, were his useful fools.
