Ok so the story was great and shows exactly what Trump is and how he works...and no the media is not covering his craziness any better. Now everyone knows exactly his smoke and mirrors playbook but unfortunately it gets ignored or even worse there is the both sidesism happening because corporate media is afraid of what he will do. This is why substack is so extremely important.

I really enjoyed this impromptu "storytelling", S.E., because I for one did not pay attention to politics before 2020. As a life-long conservative Independent, I was the type of voter who believed that whether one Party got in or the other, it seemed to balance out. Honestly, between living outside the country, having 4 kids, and working 60-75 hour work weeks, I heard the good and bad about politicians, and the groans and the cheers. When Covid-19 hit, and the world was locked away in our homes, I took notice. I had the news on every day and wondered where this crass, low brow ignoramus of a man had risen to the top. I watched CNN daily (at that time) for Covid updates and began to study the character of this unlikely president. I listened to lie upon lie as he ramped up his next presidential run, which resulted in my determination that he should NEVER again be in office. Then I watched the George Floyd protests and his inept if not cruel handling of a crowd who turned against him. Then came January 6, 2021. Off from work that day, I was home and watched the horror on t.v. as a would-be dictator dog-whistled his ravenous mob and sent them to the Capitol to real damage. We all knew what would ensue, though maybe not to the extent. I hoped a miracle would place Kamala Harris in the WH and save us from the felon we now know as 47. Since that day, I have become an activist, writing emails OFTEN and furiously to our Senators and my Congresswoman EVERY WEEK and sometimes everyday. I began informing myself and talking to others about politics, something I had NEVER done. I found myself in my first protest march this weekend, shouting to the rooftops that we want NO KINGS. Never again will I be ignorant of the WHO and the WHAT of politics, especially at this highest level. I only hope that it is not too late.

I have read notations from former Bernie supporters who have switched to Trump based on this thread of thought.

Business acumen, “peace through strength, etc.

No. The media cannot do without Trump. Now they cover him differently. It's telling.
