Networks (and cable) have to stop televising Trump's stunts

...this one today should be their last straw.

There was no deal, no breakthrough, so what did they expect Trump to say today? It was just another one-sided rant about what he wants, hardly news, given it wasn't the product of any negotiation.

If the media expected something newsworthy, they got played by playing into the WH hype. There are myriad things Trump could do today to end the shutdown he instigated, the DACA crisis he created, and the border crisis he's orchestrated and is busy exacerbating with the help of network and cable news.

Trump going in front of the cameras to address a national audience isn't a negotiation or a deal, it was an obvious con. It's high time they stopped giving Trump this platform to gaslight Americans.

Wasn't that, like, a week ago? And he had a terrific bowel movement on national TV, so they just decided to show him having another. It's never ending with the shitter in chief.
