It was the media who created Trump during the 2016 Presidential election when he became a Republican Presidential candidate. Ever since then, the media has aided and enabled him with excessive media coverage to spread his lies, misinformation, personal attacks and blaming others for his own self made corruption. And now, after being convicted of 34 felony counts in a New York criminal trial, a judge's finding of sexual abuse and fine for $5 million for such abuse, then another multi-million dollar fine for defaming the same women by a jury trial, a judge trial that found Trump company guilty of Fraud which Trump was fined over $300 million for allowing the Fraud to take place, the same media is still aiding and enabling the same Donald Trump the criminal.
Still to come are multiple federal indictments, a Georgia state indictments that are waiting to go to trial. If all that is difficult to wrap your head around, it is astounding to think the same media invited criminal Trump to take part in a Presidential debate with President Joe Biden who will be the only sane person at the debate. The invitation is a disgrace to the Presidential event where a serial liar and convicted criminal will be allowed to participate in such an event. The invitation indicates the media does not care about honesty, democracy, morals, the rule of law, the country or what the office of the President stands for.
Our country experienced other candidates and office holders who had to withdraw from running or the office they held because of previous misconduct. The media played a role in that as being unacceptable. But the media today treats criminal Trump like he is a big star. They really don't care about Trump's corruption and the fact he is unfit to hold any political office again, much less the Presidency.
The media knew what Trump was like in 2016 when at a campaign rally he asked Russia's Putin to tap into Hillary Clinton's email because he was looking for dirt to use during the campaign. At another campaign rally Trump also told his supporters he could go out and shoot someone and his supporters would not care. The media gave little coverage to those two statement but PolitiDose commentary gave timely commentary calling Trump's statement about Clinton a traitorous act.
Not only should Trump's criminal conviction disqualify him from any Presidential debate, his traitorous acts while President in trying to overturn the 2020 election with lies, a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol, ordering his Vice President not to count the electoral votes, denial of the peaceful transfer of power were a grave danger to democracy. Those acts also make him unfit for public office.
This writer will not be viewing the Presidential debates. It will be a one sided debate of lies the public has been exposed to for too many years by Donald Trump, the convicted criminal. Both debaters have a record so it is known which one is the most qualified to run the country the next four years. The media, by the way it has covered Trump tells us they believe Trump's corruption and criminal conviction is the NORM in American politics. This writer rejects their sorry and dangerous excuse for politics in America.
After the debate, as usual, the media will meet with its hosts and break down what the debate was all about. It will be a rerun of all Trump's lies that we have heard which seems like an eternity. The only sane debater will be the President Joe Biden. Trump has managed to run over the media like he did his own party. The sad part is that, like the GOP, the media allowed it to take place.
The democratic party continues to stand strong, steady and sane and govern despite the havoc the GOP and the media has cast upon America the Beautiful.
