No, he just made even more headlines. The more headlines he makes, the more votes he gets.

This user doesn’t deserve the down votes.

They’re not saying that Trump should get more votes because of his trash headlines and behavior, they’re just calling out because it’s just what happens with that fascist.

Democrats should, unfortunately, do the same kind of massive attention seeking to resonate with those of his base that aren’t completely set on just being evil. It makes the candidate look active, engaged, decisive, and not passive on any matter, no matter how small.

Anyone who pays attention to Trump knows he has no substance with what he says, but because he’s always front and center of every little issue (or at least that’s how he’s got the media optics playing for him), it makes him seem very present and on top of things. Think of it like being a useless office worker, but you always walk around looking angry and in a hurry so people assume you’re busy and working hard.

Like it or not, there is huge value in that in this whole dumb popularity contest.

This is a good summary. I don’t know if people thought I was in support of Trump with my comment. But it is very frustrating seeing so many Trump headlines and no Harris headlines.

I’m happy to see “Harris bashes Trump for shitty comment” stories. But all I’m seeing is “Trump makes shitty comment”. Like he’s the only candidate.

Is that the thinking? Like a child in the back of class, desperate for attention and confused about why other people don’t want to just be obnoxiously loud.

No, folks don’t see any headline and think “that’s how I will vote.” This is the mental ability of an infant who just got object permanence.

You remember 2016? This is exactly how that year went. All these headlines while Trump’s polling numbers are completely unaffected. It’s 2016 all over again.

I wish you were right. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of idiot voters out there who just fill in the box next to the name they hear more.

CBS could just refuse to cover any Trump events due to “ongoing litigation” initiated by the scamdidate and invite NBC and ABC to join.

If I dare bring a version of a reddit trend here: Trump is a little piss baby.

Obligatory: Greg Abbot is a little piss baby.

He cites a Texas law banning “deceptive acts in the conduct of business”. To be fair, that is his backyard LOL.

$20 decillion

That’s: $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Or 20 with 33 zeros after it. Or 20 trillion trillion trillion dollars.

The GDP of planet Earth is estimated at $100 trillion a year…

Reminds me of the headline regarding Russia fining Google $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever crazy amount.

it must be how much he thinks he’ll “lose” if not able to run his grift and scam from 1600 penn ave for four more years and/or when his social network stock craters when he loses.

You’ll be able to tell the exact size of his bribe by how much he makes selling the worthless DJT shares he owns now that the Saudis and Russia have pumped it up.
