Donald Trump’s speech tonight was not a success.
Both ABC and NBC refused to air it in the first place.
CBS News, which he thinks is in his pocket, showed about 20 minutes of Trump’s outright lies and blathering about 2020 election results.
Then CBS Evening News patsy Tony Dokoupil came back on screen with Major Garrett. They ran a fact check and concluded that Trump was not telling the truth.
Over on Fox News, Trump’s bff Sean Hannity also bailed after less than 30 minutes. Fox News cut to Iran stories and the Canadian fires. Even Hannity couldn’t listen to Trump’s bizarre ranting.
Meanwhile, CNN and MS NOW cut in after five minutes and didn’t go back.
Even News Nation dumped the speech.
Even the most right-wing, conservative pundits knew that Trump was trying to lay the groundwork to disrupt the November mid terms.
Over at Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post, news of the speech was pushed down the page.
Maybe this act of insanity was just one too much. Will MAGA wake up? Stay tuned…
Trump just slurred his way through a primetime speech he struggled to read on his teleprompter, but that aimed at creating a pretext for him to try to rig elections.
