Trump is scraping bottom of the barrel - Sean Hannity?

Sean Hannity Turns Adviser in the Service of Donald Trump

Just when you thought he could go no lower. Reminds me of that old saying of in for a dime, in for a dollar. Shit, why not?

When questioned about his relentless Trump exposure on his shows he states:

Mr. Hannity is unapologetic about his aim . “I’m not hiding the fact that I want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States.” After all, he says, “I never claimed to be a journalist.”

Grandpa's shovel didn't have quite as much shit on it, though.

He's got that Breitbart asshole, he has Ailes, and now Hannity in out in the open. It's starting to look like Trump has given up on the presidency, and is looking to put together some serious competition with Fox.

I wouldn't be surprised if within the next few months many other far right wing media personalities jump ship and join the Trump campaign.

It also makes sense why Trump is really ramping up his attacks on the media by calling them corrupt and hacks. He is just planting the seeds in his supporters that his media company will be the only media you can trust.

The best part about this is that this company will fail within two years if not sooner.
