Is looking away from this madness a mistake? Trump's response to the SC today was "unhinged" [View all]

I confess that I can not listen to trump under any circumstances, and I prefer not to look at him. I also don't care what he says because it is always nonsense, a lie, or will just change in five minutes.

So I usually read the transcripts from Aaron Rupar or Ron Filipkowski on bluesky once, and then go on to other sources. It's always nonsense and B.S. and the WH Press Corps in insufferable and never holds his feet to the fire.

But today Filipkowski said trump was "melting down" and "unhinged" and "manic".

Forgive me, but I think that's news. If the corporate media is going to show an empty podium for hours waiting for the tardy trump to speak, they should ANALYZE what he says instead of just moving on. Otherwise, what's the point?
