Republicans, even some MAGA extremists, are done with this clown.
NEW YORK (AP) — Not all of his friends have abandoned him, but the harsh media reaction to former President Donald Trump’s announcement that he’s seeking the top office again illustrates that...he has a lot of convincing to do.
Just glance at some headlines: “Trump Shocks the World by Nearly Putting Us to Sleep,” said the RedState blog. “Old Mar-a-Lago Man Yells at Cloud,” said the American Conservative. “Donnie, Time to Go Away,” said Blue State Conservative. “Trump 3.0 is a Changed Man. He’s a Loser,” said the Washington Examiner.
“No,” simply read the National Review headline.
And those are conservative organizations.
“I’ve been aggregating stories from right-wing media since 2017,” said Howard Polskin, founder of The Righting newsletter. “I’ve never seen Trump receive such negative coverage from these outlets. It’s not only negative, some of the headlines are downright insulting to him.”
Consider Wednesday’s epic troll from the New York Post, the newspaper owned by conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch that has turned sharply against Trump since last week’s midterm elections.
...
“There is nobody who knows better than Rupert Murdoch that the way to upset Donald Trump is not to say his name,” Maggie Haberman, reporter for The New York Times and author of “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” said on CNN.

Away from the coasts, the Houston Chronicle led the paper with an account of Trump’s announcement by The Associated Press. Neither the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina and Las Vegas Sun in Nevada mentioned Trump on their front pages, and the Chicago Tribune teased an article inside the paper.
A politician can survive just about anything: except being ignored. Some in the media have decided they are not going to cover Trump as they did in 2016 and as they had to in 2020.
A Florida Man took one step last night, one step and a giant leap onto a long, long road that is going to end in humiliating, profound rejection of him. It says here he will exit the road before he gets to the GOP convention.
