Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Twitter Trump will be back. The White House staff actually did as good a job as they could protecting and limiting him from embarrassing himself too bad this trip so it's largely just small memes and poo poo and not some massive gaffe replaying on every news hour. But when he gets home it's back to his routine and theyve shown they can't control him.

It's just a question of how long it takes him to recover from the trip and catch up on the news. Old Man Trump gonna crash hard.

Is this him being so exhausted now that he is just quitting? Or is this solely the dementia? It boggles my mind that no one in his inner circle is able to wrangle him in or tell him what needs to be done. Now even more work will need to be done to catch up on what was said when he shoots his opinion on Africa later.

3 months without sex is taking its toll on him, if he even remembers what his penis really is.

He never cared about any of that poo poo and tbh Stephen Miller probably told him it'd look good to his voters if he made it obvious he was ignoring Africa (which it will).

Most people drop like a sack of potatoes if they get blindsided by someone with even average strength. Though if someone had cold-cocked the Nazi I'm sure they'd have been charged with assault even though beating the poo poo out of Nazis should earn you a cash prize.

He's not going to quit, he's just going to stop presidenting. It's not like anyone can force him to do either of those things.

They might, but its still gonna weaken their signal. Imagine your grandparents trying to figure out how to start downloading podcasts or navigating new websites. Some of them will be able to, but a lot of them will just give up in frustration and keep watching whoever fox replaces him with.

There is a reason why O'Reily doesn't have the same impact anymore

It may, for a few, but I think it's like herd immunity: the more sickies there are, the more sickies there will be. Having that kind of ultra extreme right wing poo poo on a very popular news outlet only serves to make the extreme poo poo ever more popular. Stuff it back in AM radio or better yet, shame all the advertisers there too so it's unprofitable.

That's true, and it's really a generational thing (TV vs ~the internet~) and the internet side is different since it's not strictly passive. With the TV experience you just sit there and soak in propaganda, but with the internet you have the option to go investigate what you're reading or watching immediately. Many people won't challenge what they're being taught, but more than you'd have with television. Of course that can go the other way too :shrug:
