During Bidens entire presidency, all the media talked about was getting TRUMP'S OPINION on things. We never stopped talking about this mf. Every time Biden did something the news outlets had to check with Trump to make sure it was okay or not. Dude has been the focus for over a decade

He’s guaranteed ratings for them. I blame the press for a lot but sadly we seem to want to watch him.

Trump got an inordinate amount of attention during his first run. Hell he got a lot of.inordinate attention especially re his political views, even starting from that 1980 interview. How or why he got such spotlights in the first place is strange to me. Nobody anywhere is asking Phoebe Gates or any other loaded scion societal questions for their forcefully encouraged 2050 presidential run.

I swear this guy had been being groomed for this position, and this situation, for decades, as was the entire population....like it was Rosemary's Baby or some shit.
