Many people are watching and just reacting emotionally and not analysing and taking action.

This works for Trump. He is like the Cat playing with mouse before going in for the kill.
It would be much more useful to follow the money.

The cheap thug is so obviously mentally unbalanced, vicious, self-centered, and weak, that people are disgusted, even enraged by it. He gains no new support, and makes up many minds against him with each of these shows.

People who have their minds made up already, which ought to include all here, may find some low entertainment in the cheap thug's antics, but we are not the intended audience, nor the audience which benefits from seeing the wretch expose himself.

"Defeat of a hated enemy is something to be for."

I watch it on YouTube - with CNN on mute, because of their tendency to cut away at various times during the broadcast.
