Just HOW LONG do you think the media would have allowed PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON to continue saying things like
But this guy? Total pass. Hardly even the smallest trace of curiosity to be found among the entire lot of them.

(58,785 posts)instead of this? I have big problems with corrupt media, and many in the MSM ARE corrupt on behalf of conservative interests. But not googling before spouting his ignorant frustration is not acceptable either.
Frankly, as usual I wonder if this guy even voted in 2016 or if he didn't bother to stand against Trump, obviously mentally disordered as a candidate? He may well have, of course, but the angry blaming of others does suggest a type.

(24,653 posts)I cannot stand to look at or hear the man so I don't tune in to his news conferences.
But even I've known he's unwell since the 2016 campaign without knowing exactly what's wrong with him. Kind of like if your car is spewing smoke and making a knocking sound, you know it needs to go to a mechanic even if you don't know exactly what's causing the problem yourself. In other words, I'm not a doctor, but his physical signs are so obvious pretty much anyone should be able to observe him and say, "he's not a healthy man."
And it's been getting progressively worse at what to me is an accelerating rate.
I did happen to overhear some of his rambling yesterday without the visual and my first thought was "holy shit how is that man even functioning at all!"
He's moved past grammatical and vocabulary mistakes to the point where he can't even form words themselves. He's short of breath, has a blue tint to his skin under his eyes, drags one leg when he walks, and can't speak clearly. Who the hell in their right mind would think that indicates a person well enough to discharge the duties of POTUS? Especially in the context of observing that this has been a progressive decline. Clearly it is not going to improve.

Everywhere we communicate, ask the question.
When will you (media) tell the people that Donald Trump is obviously drugged?

(13,571 posts)Who is making decisions when Trump is so impaired? [high, sedated, whatever]

(1,990 posts)Its because the media and those who fund it/profit from it do not yet want Donald Trump removed from office. The producers control the narrative. The media could have already forced him out if they wanted. All that it would take is for the narrative to be changed to "he is mentally incompetent and a danger".
The producers could have already called for daily shows to start out with an Olberman-esque introduction reminding the viewers that it is "day xxx since the POTUS was implicated in a federal felony for which another person has plead guilty to", but they chose to let that go days after Cohen stated in open court that Trump is a felon. He'd be gone already. But they only care about profits, and until Trump costs them money, nobody will call for him to step down.
