To Fox Hosts’ Surprise, Trump Books Weekly Interviews Live On Air: Highlights From The Latest ‘Fox & Friends’ Rant

President Donald Trump used the “Fox and Friends” platform to go on a lengthy tear Tuesday morning, airing his grievances on a plethora of issues that have made headlines in recent weeks.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1332132

When this guy is out of office, can the non-Fox, non-nutty sections of the media please make a commitment not to cover anything that he says or does, unless it’s his funeral? Please.

Maybe they’ll be as popular as his daily COVID briefings were. Bleach injections, anyone?

It’s only going to get more exhausting to do this litany as your enemies list extends in length, Donnie.

Are you sure a man of your age and (dis)abilities is up to it?

We wouldn’t want you to stroke out.

Please let it be January already, after he has lost the election, where his comments on air will be treated like the clearance rack at the dept. store.

Just read Brian Stelter’s book “Hoax” about the effective merger of Trump world and Fox News. A good if frustrating, read. The merger seems to be getting closer all the time.

We will never not hear from donald even when he leaves office. The planet will not recover for a long time because of what he’s done to it, and each time we talk in the future about how to cure our planet’s and our country’s ills his name will come up because he and his surrogates caused it all.

Climatologist: “Sir, it was 110 degrees in California.” Occupant: “It’ll start to get cooler.” On that cold day in hell, donald.

@eglot @emiliano4 donald has left a stain on our country and on our psyche which can’t be removed. He’ll always be with us.

Why are they surprised? Is this the beginning of the argument over who’s on top?

Hey fox, you thought you were the tiger. Maybe you were the lady the whole time.

We recognize this, we complain to TPM HQ and tell them to change their reporting, and still they persist.

“He’s taking something,” the President said. “He’s taking something or gives him some clarity or whatever.”

Or whatever. But he’s clearly brain doping!

After his humiliating eviction from the White House, Trump will run to television for affirmation faster than community spread at an Orlando Olive Garden.

On the Woodward book, trump said it was boring but he didn’t dispute a single word in that book. In terms of content, he said, “It’s fine.”

Trump will not have nearly the presence on anything to do with this country that people think. after he leaves office.

A lot has to do with Trump, himself.

A lot has to do with Dialectic patterns of events.

I am not going to go into the latter much, other than asserting that I am so very proud of the reactions to Trumpism in the United States…by people of all races, faiths and orientations.

He is an overweight 74 yr old with a short attention span, who would rather play golf, watch TV, tweet. and spend winters in Florida. He will try to keep himself at the center of attention but the media will move on. Younger generations won’t pay him any attention. They will be busy working on climate change, racial justice issues, wage stagnation, etc.

I will say this:

Covering Trump should be like the Weather Page.

The info is there…the “good” and the bad…and that’s IT.

bingo.

Oh…and by the way (an example where an oldster like me learns yet another lesson…)…Just after the election, my son and I were chatting over lunch and I launched into a screed about Trump worthy of a political speech…certain that I had set my kid’s hair on fire.

My son looked at me like he would look at me describing a wide receiver dropping a deep ball on a post pattern and said two words:

“Who? Trump?”

With about 10% of my passion.
