The leadership of CNN knows Trump is good for business, but bad for the country. They are apparently struggling with the issue of whether to cover the man on golf cart’s speeches, presumably because they don’t want to provide a platform for his lies. Is this a good idea?
Ignoring Trump is a mistake at all possible levels. Trump’s current edge in the polls is due largely to his refusal to face hostile questioning at the debates. As a result, the race is currently a referendum on Biden–a battle that Trump is likely to win.
America needs to see Trump at his most demented in order to remember what life was like in 2020. That means giving him lots of coverage and letting him speak for himself. If he does, he will shoot himself in the foot with everyone but the base. He can’t help it; it’s who he is.
