"SNIP.....

Former President Trump is urging his followers to boycott DirecTV over the company’s plans to drop One American News Network, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “It is a very popular channel, far more popular than most would understand, and they are being treated horribly by the Radical Left lunatics running the networks.”

.......SNIP"

1. Does he think we can't understand how popularity works?

Well we do. You lost two elections by at least 10,000,000 votes.

2. Trump

Said Trump: “It is a very popular channel, far more popular than most would understand

Sure the 14 people that watch it IS popular!!! I'm sure they will be upset and Lindell will lose selling his shitty ass products to the crowd...

13. In Reality...

...it's 16-18k people. Which is dreadfully low for a cable network.
As someone said above, TFG doesn't understand how most anything works. TV ratings are beyond his grasp.

15. When he claimed that "The Apprentice" was the "#1 show on TV", it was more

than clear that he didn't have a fucking clue when it came to TV ratings!

[tavernier]

3. I'm really tired of him.

Can’t wait for the day when his opinions won’t count anymore.

[Botany]

4. Dead or in jail?

I don't care. I just want him to go away.

5. The Biggest Loser says what?

[Claire Oh Nette]

6. OK, Boomer....

He is aware that only DirecTV has the Major League Baseball package? Mr. Oh Nette is customer #0000003. The other satellite network doesn't carry every single baseball game, and we had comcast for a week once. Hard Pass.

You think he'd slink off and not incriminate himself daily.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

7. He does realize...

that the majority of his zombies live in rural areas where satellite is the only option?

[TheRealNorth]

12. Thats what I was thinking as well....

But I wasn't 100% sure if they are still reliant on Satellite. I suppose there are streaming options - of course the MAGATS have conspiracy theories about 5G and don't want to spend money on the infrastructure, so their streaming quality may not be so good.

8. Boycotts are dumb...

they rarely work. The people boycotting are usually offset by the people spurred on to spend money on the boycotted entity.

Plus, I'm not going to boycott something I like.

[gratuitous]

9. You should start your own business, Donald!

You'd make money hand over fist using your acumen and expertise! DirecTV's mistake could be your opportunity!

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Wouldn't Last A Year

His business ventures have a half-life of 100 days!

[gratuitous]

18. Oh

The way he was popping off, and telling DirecTV how to run their business, and "writing" the Art of the Deal, that he naturally knew what he was talking about. Are you saying . . . ?

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Um, Yeah!

I'm sayin'...

[BeeBee]

10. I thought he didn't like "cancel culture." n/t

[JuJuChen]

11. "they are being treated horribly"

always reads, "they are getting justice" to me

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. He tries to use his deplorables as attack dogs.

He gets them all stirred up and they are crazy to begin with. And they are incredibly dangerous. One of these days they are really going to kill someone but it won't be Trump's fault.

17. Trumpfire better not mess up our Direct TV!

We live out in the county and there are not enough people on our road to justify the cable companies to sting cable to our house. We've been loyal DTV customers for 22 years.
