Turn Off Trump's Oxygen

https://erichensal.substack.com/p/turn-off-trumps-oxygen

MSNBC et al. are asking guests about Trump’s reprehensible posts on the Reiner family tragedy, shoehorning questions into otherwise unrelated interviews. This must stop.

Trump obviously hates Reiner. He hates any famous person who refuses to fawn; that entire category of people is his enemy. So Trump sees opportunity in the tragedy to steal attention from this enemy—something he sickly believes constitutes a “win.” Who knows how much Trump actually believes what he says about the Reiner family, but he knows these posts are journalistic clickbait.

You must remember, FORMER pres. trump was president trump all through President Biden's term.
News never called trump a former president.
News would call Carter a former president. So it's not like they didn't know how to do it.

When President Biden would announce he was giving a speech to the public,
trump would announce he was doing something....spectacular....at the same time.
