Trump’s Vulnerabilities

Here’s a theory on the meme here: the media profits tremendously from extending the life of the idea that Trump actually could be our 47th president, and it finds that lucre to be irresistible.

This an event which, if it comes to fruition, would almost certainly end American democracy, and that notion is so terrifying to most of us that we’re drawn to explore it whether we want to or not.

The media understands this with crystal clarity.

What we’re looking at here is just an extrapolation of 2015/16, where the CEO of one of our television giants admitted, “Trump is absolutely terrible for America, but he’s fantastic for us.”

Eventually, it will become obvious that, through some blend of forces, including Trump’s criminal trials, that he is far more likely to be struck by lightening than he is to win the 2024 election.  At that point, look for the media to move along to some new catastrophe in the making.

With each passing year, it becomes more about money and less about truth.
