Oh wow. Jake Tapper just directed CNN control room to get rid of #Trump's visit to cafe after arraignment: "I don't need to see any more of that. He's trying to turn it into a spectacle..Enough of that. We've seen it already." This is good. More plz.
AND Nicolle Wallace also did same on MSNBC. This is good & media should do this from now on. Don't give Trump attention he desperately craves & wants. There are much better things to show than Trump trying to celebrate this moment
@GottaLaff All I can think of is the late, great, British comedian Linda Smith. On a panel game, someone brought up convicted perjurer Jeffrey Archer. Another panelist said, "Don't give him the oxygen of publicity!"
And Linda said, "I'm not all that happy with him having the oxygen of oxygen."
This is exactly what these loons depend upon, making enough of a spectacle to get attention. Let me give you a case study.
About 20 years ago, the governor allowed the Rainbow Flag to fly at the state house during Pride for the first time. Republican, no less.
Well, that summoned Fred Phelps and his inbred crew.
And the *only* news coverage they got was when they'd left town. So far as I know, they never came back again.
It's what they need, to be the center of attention, even if they have to make themselves look like idiots to get it. It's what drives Trump, MTG, Boebert, George Anthony Kitara Revache Devolder Santos, all of them.
We need to cut off their drug of choice: attention.
