When Trump called during Nvidia’s All-In conference, the attendees were openly chuckling and rolling their eyes. Trump insisted that CEO Huang put him on speakerphone so Trump could spout his nonsense about how “robots” weren’t going to take over the world. (The discussion was about AI, not evil robots.)
The oligarchs placate him but it’s obvious that they have zero respect for the senile egomaniac who has no idea what he’s talking about.

Fox &Friends will platform him before the midterms, I guarantee it. Probably a phone in segment where he rambles for 24 minutes and they have to cut him off and send to commercial

u/GenericRedditor0405 Massachusetts 3h ago
It’s very entertaining to see them trying to corral him as he obviously shatters the illusion that he isn’t completely dementia addled to their viewers. Even better when they have to cut him off and utter some excuse like “we know you’re very busy and have things to get back to Mr. President”

I hate watch these clips for a reason. I even force myself to try and finish his rallies just because it's my civic duty to witness the atrocities of his political legacy

uh no that's now how this works. The moment they cut Trump off he pulls their station license and arrests them for treason conspiracy marxism socialism. If they dare show an ad that Trump has not personally vetted and obtained a cut of, he personally calls Rupert Murdoch and has them fired banned terminated ended forever. Trump is truly stupid, he's over, and Fox cannot afford to turn his volume down anymore. Everything Fox does is now Trump and Trump owns Fox. Fox cannot make any Trump decisions that the President does not approve of.
If they do that he'll go to Newsmax or OAN and scream and shout from there. He's already split Fox's base this way, and they'll leave. Trump will kill Fox News.

Ideal result but unlikely to happen. A military stockade would be the easiest to use. Or a purpose built prison on a military base. He likes gold, a small prison facility at Fort Knox could be arranged I'm sure.

Trump cannot stand not being the center of attention. A giant orange man-child.
From the article:
“Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!),” wrote Trump in the screed.
And Peter Navarro is just saying the quiet (obvious) part out loud:
Fox News’ decision sparked fury within his circle, with top trade adviser Peter Navarro calling on viewers to boycott the typically Trump-friendly network, writing on social media that it “wore our jersey and played for the other team.”

When in reality, NOT showing Trump is what's doing the GOP a favor. Everytime he's on TV, the average low information voter remembers how much they fucking hate him.

He's turned on many of his "allies". All that Trump cares about is that people do exactly what he wants no questions asked. Once you question or criticize him you are done. With some exceptions such as if he needs something from you.

Canadian here. I'm on a trip in the Rockies. The Americans that are visiting are very vocal that they are not on board with Trump. I've never heard Americans apologize to me for their president. I hope you all get out and vote and make it too big to rig.
•
u/Basquebadboy 1h ago
Some the first things I hear from Americans visiting these days is “I’m sorry for our commander in chief”. Which to me is weird that they don’t use the title president.
•
u/SharkAttaks Oregon 10m ago
Lmao I seriously doubt anyone has referred to Trump as the “commander in chief” to you. There is absolutely no overlap between people who would apologize for Trump and people who call the president the commander in chief unironically.

His rallies aren’t news. It’s him saying the same tired shit he always does. They aren’t momentous occasions that everyone needs to see. Fox News doesn’t want his supporters to hear him ramble because some of them might realize how stupid he really is.

His rallys are hurting the candidates in deep red territories, makes sense the political machine that is Fox would not want to help that happen.

His language is really troubling to me on so many levels.
Particularly using rhetoric like: ...hottest...love...we can't even breathe...the hottest things out there...he hottest country anywhere in the world.

The man only uses superlatives. Biggest, best most, smallest, least, worst, it doesn't matter so long as it's the most extreme. He can't tolerate anything being normal, moderate, or average.

u/moviefan8 3h ago
Trump needs a new schtick. Playing a crazed President isn't good. Always trying to top his last crazy rant. Ok on the campaign trail and in the beginning of the term, but a crazy guy with a finger on the nuclear button isn't good. Our constitution has a remedy for this, but no one in Washington isn't going to act. Very sad.
Trump is well into Lonesome Rhodes territory. He will have a meltdown like Lonesome Rhodes at the end of the movie A Face In The Crowd.

Maybe they should report on the Epstein files? How about the cost of living? How about the illegal war but not really a war but more of a conflict that the department of WAR is involved in with Iran... how about they report on rights being taken away? How about frredom of press, freedom of religion, or how ICE is still woefully unpopular and terrorizing communities including citizens. How about how Trump appointed RFK and now we have extreme issues with food supply? People getting sick. People losing insurance. Cost of living through the roof. Work requirements for healthcare? Making it tougher to actually get the care you need. Maybe the media should report on how every time something bad happens its ANYBODY elses fault. How about they start asking about why Elon Musk is somehow involved eith the aUs Government right before an election again? Maybe they shouldnt have billionaires saying these pain points that impact most "normal" people in some way arent really a big deal.
But yeah lets get upset because the big strong brave patriot has to coerce people into positive news coverage and softball questions or he will take their credentials away.

This might be the first time I agree with Trump. Please show his rants to as many people as possible.
Fox realized that he is increasingly deranged. They are doing damage control.
Give him what he wants. Let's see if we can crack the floor with respect to his disapproval ratings.

> These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox! Also, phenomenal ratings for those that properly report.”
Paxton and the rest of the Texas red slate are probably ok with a little less “help” from the Orange One.
NYT - G.O.P. Nominee in Texas Privately Said Trump’s Convention Hurt Him
“The recording, which is muffled at times, captures Mr. Paxton being asked, ‘Do you feel like he’s a little bit of a drag?’ It is not clear from the audio whom the questioner is referring to.
Mr. Paxton responds: ‘So to be honest with you, the numbers — when we did that convention — it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Right now, yeah, not good.’”
“Mr. Paxton’s comments at the Washington fund-raiser echo other private whispers by Republicans that the party’s convention would not be helpful, given Mr. Trump’s sagging approval ratings.
Since the gathering, the midterm outlook for Republicans has only darkened, leaving Mr. Paxton in a precarious position just five weeks before Election Day.”
