Perfect time to take a bathroom break.

In all seriousness, it will be interesting to see the reaction from non-Fox viewers to an obnoxious interview like this if it's political and self-serving instead of being focused on football or America and apple pie.

his cult followers will still buy into his lies, but those who can't stand him will still feel the same, and there are a hell of a lot more people who can't stand him!

He can play to his brain dead base every day of the week but he isn't gaining new support. His actions will continue to show people just how much of a dictator asshole he really is, and come election time he will be swept out by a "huge" big blue wave! The biggest and best blue wave in history!

So these 90-100 million viewers, less than half being tRump supporters, see his chest-thumping and think to themselves "why is he doing this? This, during my god-given right to watch the god-given and sacred Superbowl, and we have to watch him babble even more"? Especially if tRump flubs something which makes it even more apparent that he has lost his mind. Of course, it shouldn't affect his base but the rest of the viewers may just add another notch to their "tired of trump" belt, roll their eyes and think "oh brother, more politics on my religious holiday".

I've got to think that the tarnished egg-laying days of that pyrite goose are coming to an end for the tRump PR machine as the I-don't-give-a-shit crowd could be getting close to tRump overload.

I may be fooling myself, but if this happens on Sunday as planned, we will start to see that whole, hellbound train lose steam and eventually jump the tracks. You just can't be fucking with folks' religion on their holy day.

I'm still planning on watching though, tRump or not, while rootin' for KC.

The only thing low information voters will get out of this is that "he wasn't guilty". We'll see.
