Given Drumpf's obsession with TV ratings, that's got to suck

Frankly the more of these he does the better for us. Aside from his rallies he is a disaster on camera. He thinks he can charm everyone but from the virus pressers to Woodward to this ABC thing that is clearly not the case. I think Good Morning America is still the top rated morning show so youd think theyd have promoted this a lot and still few people tuned in.

(121 posts)Anybody who watches the Orange Turd for even one second is wasting a precious second they will never get back. I feel incredibly nauseated watching his face or hearing his voice. I wouldn't watch his face at all, that's why I will not watch the debates, just like I made sure not to watch him on television or print since 2016.
He starts lying even before he opens his big dumb mouth, and everything he says is completely demented, distorted, meaningless and contradictory, expressed on grammatical and maturity levels a seven year old would find embarassing.
Not one person I know is going to watch the debates, an as aside, i have no idea why Biden would agree to a Fox sponsored "debate", where it is guaranteed trump would get the questions in advance, actually he has probably already gotten them from Faux.
