In fact, the Press may be one of the few things Trump still has going for him

>The reason why the Republican Party is, at the moment, on track to lose the 2024 election is that the Republican Party is a minority coalition that picked a very unpopular 78-year-old retread as its candidate.
Turns out NRO has at least one writer who understands the election.

The Press are reporting the excitement not creating it.
I think we’re all sick of this narrative that Trump support is real but Harris is some kind of temporary hype.

Also she’s running circles around him. This race has no business being close. He’s an inferior candidate in every possible way while she is proving to be formidable and impressive.

Trump lost the popular vote in ’16 and ’20. Trump has never had majority support.

The billionaire mainstream press including FoxNews, CNN, NewsMax, and the New York Times is all in for Donald Trump. The mainstream press is not hyping Kamala Harris, but rather is constantly making egresses and false criticisms of her while they fact check her they give Donald Trump a blank check for lying.

Remember, conservatives believe that there is a rigid hierarchy, and that they should be at the top. They will always complain of media bias. I agree with the premise that Trump is unpopular. They did the Devil’s work, and now they reap his wages.

Dear Donald Trump,
We hate you.

considering that he is a convicted rapist, conman, traitor, adulterer, insurrectionist, election cheater, he is immensely popular.
nobody else could be all that and still have a close race with kamala.

He’s also old and low energy. Sad!
DanielTheEunuch on
He’s grossly unpopular and as his fading mental and physical health becomes more prominent and noticeable he will continue to bleed support.
At the same time Kamala Harris has an amazing message of growth, prosperity, and freedom for all Americans and that makes her wildly popular.

All the wants you waste
All the things you’ve chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown,
King Nothing?

The press is, if anything, casting dispersions on Harris’ efforts. Counter-ntuitively, NPR and New York Times have been all doom-and-gloom on her campaign of late.

hmmmmm? NO! He is unpopular because he is a convicted felon, a rapist, a goof who cannot put 2 sentences together without getting lost! A failed husband and a failed father! His bestest friend was Epstein! People say he is weird but they are just being nice! It will not be long now before some doctors will have to put him in a round padded room and tell DonOld to go stand in the corner.

And because he represents the dark side. And because he is a criminal, and because he is a conman, and because he is Putin’s puppet, and because the rest of the world mocks him because he is a moron.

Trump underperformed in ALL his primary elections this year as well. He was even straight up LOST a couple.
People are sick of it.

How about no one likes there policy’s all are extremely unpopular add project 2025 into the numbers get worse

He just like one of those washed up Star that out of his prime. Doesn’t matter how much the press want to push him, the people want to be done by him. Its like watching Jordan playing for the Wizard

Welcome to the People Who Get It Club
Trump’s popularity has been a slow trickle despite the media’s efforts to dramatize this race. However, as of late it’s growing into a steady stream of defectors after his comments are becoming increasingly off-putting even for his basket of deplorables.
Classics like “You won’t have to vote anymore if I win.” and “Musk supported me so strongly that I have to change my mind about electric cars.”
But I think the biggest thing of late is how the assassination attempt made him look so tough…for about 5 minutes. Since then it’s become obvious that he’s living in pure terror of going outside and being in front of large groups. His desperation to win is pushing him out into the open, but it’s also pushing his desperation out into the open.
And desperation isn’t an attractive quality on anyone. Trump has never looked weaker than he does right now. And when cult leaders become weak, they get replaced.

You have to love the persecution, Cons are always bragging that Fox News has the highest viewership of any news network, propping up Right-wing politicians while whining like this:
> Let me stipulate for the record: The American press is an embarrassment. Journalists are being unfair in their coverage. CNN and Politico and the New York Times and the Associated Press and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt and NPR News are hyping Kamala Harris as the second coming and putting a thumb, two hands, and a 45-pound dumbbell on the scales in an attempt to prop her up.
SnappyRejoinder on
The press continues to normalize Trump. They covered the RFK endorsement as if it wasn’t a delusional, unvaccinated, mentally ill drug addict endorsing an elderly, insane, rapist and convicted felon.
armandacosta on
This is just standard operating procedure for conservative writers before they write anything remotely negative about trump. They have to first attack the so called “liberal media,” both-sides the situation, or outright lie about a progressive position in order to show their conservative bona fides.
LectureAgreeable923 on
Agreed,also, his ranting and bullcrap just remind me of his failed presidency .Trump can’t handle pressure , covid pandemic, someone disagreeing ,answering questions etc..And at 78 years old, he’s even worse.Trumps totally unfit to being president.
The_Bard on
The legacy press is doing the opposite of hyping Kamala. They are saying things like “does enthusiasm turn into votes” and “can she sustain the enthusiasm”. Even my boomer parents are over that shit and just watching cspan.
Kamala is maintaining the hype by ignoring them and going right to the people. The press can report whatever they want.

Trump is skinny jeans and shield sunglasses on men. Just a weird confusing fad that came and just as quickly went. As usual, it takes the rural areas longer to get the message.

Wow, who knew an already well hated man who chose an almost equally hated VP who only run on hate and fear mongering would be unpopular.

The title is certainly true, because I’ve seen major outlets like AP News reaching far and wide to “fact check” Kamala’s speech, doing gymnastics like “well, Trump originally said women who get abortions should be punished, but he changed his mind the next day in an interview, so Kamala made a false claim!”
American press, by and large, should be ashamed of itself for how they’ve covered all of this dating back to 2016.
Pherllerp on
The press is ACTIVELY undermining the Democratic Party!!
All week it’s been “Harris Campaign is Light on Substance” and “Dems Lack Specifics”! It’s insane!
Has any news organization EVER pressed Trump not just for a specific policy answer but for an even roughly coherent response?
croolshooz on
The press is “hyping” Kamala? Actually, what the press is NOT doing is cudgeling Trump with the same “too old” yardstick they applied so liberally on Biden with for the past year.
WarGrifter on
The Media needs this to be a nail biter cause that = Money
They also kinda have dumped so much money into Trump that if he fails not only is that a bust… Harris may not be TOO forgiving when the GOP and Media try to play the it was only politics card
Why do you think several of the corporate overlords who live in the US are signaling they are gonna leave the country either they are aware Kamala isn’t gonna let bygones be bygones and blame the whole thing on trump or they deeply suspect they are in for a reckoning
Trump’s just the Monster… He isn’t the made scientist who created him
geologicalnoise on
Nobody actually likes *him*. They just hate other people because they don’t understand how to make anything better – just how to take stuff away from other people and think that that somehow brings them up in the world.
