Turn Off Trump's Oxygen [View all]

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.
