Trump and his followers are just reaping what they already sowed. He has built his platform on the ridiculous and the trivial. Besides, trivial coverage can be ignored just as easily as trivial events.

Laughter at Dump's foolishness isn't laughter at Dump. It's pointing out that his moron voters still support him even considering all his moral dreck and stupidity.

Each Dump tweet combined with his plateaued support is proof that a third of this country and 2/3rds of the Republican party are moral and mental cripples.

We're not making fun of him.

We're making fun of you.

Whoa whoa whoa. I am NOT one of "them." Let me make that clear.

No worries. When he spouts off about serious stuff, yeah, report it, pay attention, point it out. But who the hell cares about a Time cover tweet? Really? ;)

Sure sounds like one of them, doesn't he? But he'll strongly argue that he isn't, while arguing at the same time that the media should stop picking on Trumpy.

Well you certainly didn't have a problem with the media going on and on ad nauseaum about it. But for some reason, it bothers you that they do so regarding Trumpy. Even though you're not one of his supporters/apologists.

We know, because you tell us so.

Read what I said: the TRIVIAL things, like a magazine cover.....not the serious stuff. Maybe you ARE Scooby.

JFC, Trump could be beeching about a robin hogging a tree branch in his yard and if people don't ridicule it, they are Trumpists. That's as insane as the actual Trumpists. For real.

Are you guys reading the same thing I am? I think Brent has a point about some of this. I can't agree on all the nuances but I think he is arguing more on the principle of the thing more than defending tRump. Attacking anyone who brings up a point that might not agree that everything is black and white is something the blind followers do. I thought we were having a nice discussion. Hoven- I must be doing this wrong. You suck, you should just agree with everything I say! :D

That was an apology? That was pure sarcasm without a doubt

Wrong. I was apologizing because I thought he was a Trumpy. He's not, he hates him too. So -- cool by me.

Now, if you're a Trumpy... well, I would never say f-ck you. <-- see? that's sarcasm

See, Wally gets it. The only one you're fooling is yourself.

Get this. But 2 thoughts.
1. It is not normal for anyone who is a of legal adult age, never mind the President, to act like this. That is a real story. It shows he is an amoral, unhinged sociopath but... he has shown it so many times it has become a 'non-story'. Think about that for just a minute. We have someone who is crazier than a loon and people are saying don't cover that, it is a distraction, just ignore it. If anyone were to do this at a local level the reaction would surely happen. It should happen. I don't have a problem with them covering it- it needs to be labeled and called out, not ignored. BUT- a big but- it should be matter of fact, part of the stream of the news not the only news.

2. I think many people feel validated when they see more and more proof of their opinion. IMHO there are many who are hoping what ever the latest thing is, it will finally tip the scales to get the blind to see. This one more thing will make the evidence so clear people will have to acknowledge the guy is who he really is. We have our resident audio-visual aid that shows just how silly pursuing this is. The blind will remain willfully blind. This is way past 'I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue' blind.

The new normal. According to current times he sure seems normal...

No, it is news. It is not normal for someone to do that. Not even close. If you were to start doing things like that at work, carrying on to the detriment of doing your real job, it would be an issue. It should be for a President too. It should be reported but in a factual way- the President claimed to have been approached by Time Magazine to be Man of the Year in a tweet and has tweeted multiples times in the last 24 hours on the subject. This has been denied/refuted by multiple sources within the magazine publicly. it is unknown why he would tweet something of this nature. And moving on.... The President has moved to do X with NK. His Secretary of State has given contradictory statements....

Nixon denied watergate
Clinton denied Monica

Just saying you didn’t do something doesn’t make it true :)
