Trump Blames Dementia for Why Biden is Skipping the Super Bowl Interview, Which Trump Also Did

Posted by on February 5, 2024 at 1:26 pm. 2 Comments :

This coming Sunday the nation will be glued to their television sets for the 2024 Super Bowl, featuring the Grammy “Album of the Year Winner,” Taylor Swift. It will be exhilarating to see how the pop icon/CIA operative manages to lead her “Deep State” Kansas City Chiefs to victory over the curiously MAGA approved San Francisco 49ers of Commie-fornia.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Among the annual Super Bowl traditions is one that has been in effect for less than twenty years. So it is something less than a timeless institution. It’s the pre-game interview of the President of the United States. These interviews have typically been more entertaining than newsworthy. While they can potentially draw a large audience, the viewers are often more interested in beers and barbeque than political banter.

This year President Biden has declined to participate in the program. He is busy campaigning for reelection against Donald Trump and the MAGA Cult that is threatening to do away with democracy. And naturally, Trump had something idiotic to say about Biden’s decision to put the America first. On his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Trump whined that…

“Crooked Joe Biden has just announced that he will not be doing the big Super Bowl Interview. A great decision, he can’t put two sentences together. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO REPLACE HIM – would be ‘RATINGS GOLD!'”

It’s peculiar that Trump continues to use the infantile nickname “Crooked Joe” when he is the one with 91 felony counts pending and has already been found liable by a jury for defamation and rape. It’s Trump who will be in and out of courtrooms for the remainder of this election year, defending himself against criminal charges ranging from financial fraud, to inciting a violent insurrection, to stealing (and perhaps disseminating) classified documents, to undermining democracy. All of which he dismisses as “election interference.”

More to the point, Trump is complaining that Biden isn’t doing the interview because he supposedly “can’t put two sentences together.” Which is another example of Trump projecting his own deficiencies unto his opponent. Furthermore, Trump is flagrantly lying about being “happy to replace” Biden in the interview. Trump doesn’t do interviews with anyone outside of his safe harbor of MAGA hacks who lob him the softest of balls.

It’s also interesting to note that Trump has apparently forgotten that he himself chickened out of a Super Bowl interview in 2018. He retreated to his bunker because the interviewer was Lester Holt of NBC News. And he knew that his own mental infirmity would result in further humiliation. What’s more, two of the three Super Bowl interviews that he did show up for were moderated by Fox News Trump-fluffers, Bill O’Reilly (2017) and Sean Hannity (2020).

Trump’s attendance and/or avoidance of these interviews was not exactly a demonstration of the courage he tries to flaunt. It’s more of an affirmation of the cowardice he displayed by claiming five deferments from the Vietnam draft for alleged bone spurs.

Trump thinks he can project his mental impairment and spinelessness unto Biden for opting out of this interview. But, as usual, he is just shining a spotlight unto his own failings and reminding everyone that he is not only dishonest, but a craven coward with serious cognitive defects of his own. he is utterly unfit to serve in any office, and he seems intent on proving it.

Biden Snubs Fox News, Ignores the Right-Wing Propaganda Network’s Super Bowl Interview Invite

Posted by on February 10, 2023 at 12:03 pm. NO Comments :

The upcoming Super Bowl is bringing with it the expectation of an interview with the President of the United States, Joe Biden. It’s regarded as a traditional affair, despite the fact that it only began in 2009 with President Obama. Nevertheless, ever since then, the network that airs the football game, with few exceptions, has had a brief chat with the President.

Fox News, Joe Biden, Fake News

This year the Super Bowl is being broadcast by the Fox “Entertainment” network. Consequently, the interview would be conducted by Fox News. However, with just a few days before the event, President Biden has not indicated that he would be participating. Which shouldn’t surprise anyone considering that last year Biden was reported to have accurately described Fox News as “one of the most destructive forces in the United States,” and that Rupert Murdoch “was the most dangerous man in the world.”

SEE THIS: Biden: Fox News is ‘One of the Most Destructive Forces in the U.S.’ – But it Can Be Cured

While there is still a small chance that Biden may show up for the interview, Fox News isn’t counting on it. According to Variety…

“With just three days to go before the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the White House has yet to commit to the traditional interview between the President of the United States and the news division of the media company broadcasting the gridiron classic.”

Biden has good reason to refuse Fox’s invitation. The network serves as the official Ministry of Propaganda for the the Republican Party. While prior Super Bowl interviews on other networks were conducted by reputable journalists, Fox News has assigned the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity to handle their Super Bowl babble. And in the first week of his administration, Biden’s press office spelled out their criteria for engaging with the media that appears to rule out Fox News:

“We expect reporters covering the White House to operate in good faith and tell their audience the truth. […] Organizations or individuals who traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies to spread disinformation will not be tolerated.”

Of course, the Biden White House wasn’t going to ban Fox News. But they were putting them on notice. Variety notes that this year, “Fox News had been planning to offer one of its news correspondents to handle the duties.” The problem with that, however, is that Fox News doesn’t employ any “news correspondents.” Do they think that partisan hacks like Bret Baier or Martha MacCallum would do any better job of it than Hannity or Tucker Carlson? Maybe Fox would hand the mic to their White House correspondent, Peter Doocy.

Fox News is naturally going ballistic over this brushoff. They can’t comprehend how a leader could disrupt this habitual ritual (of fourteen whole years). Never mind that Trump skipped out on the Super Bowl interview with Lester Holt of NBC News in 2018.

We can predict the sort of questions that a Fox “News” interviewer would ask. Rather than covering issues that the American people care about, like those that Biden addressed in his State of the Union speech (inflation, taxes, climate change, reproductive rights, Social Security, etc.), Fox would harp on nonsense like Hunter Biden’s stolen laptop, Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” of election fraud, classified documents found at Biden’s home (but ignoring Trump and Pence), migrant “caravan” invasions, false allegations of bias against conservatives by Twitter, and the sex appeal of cartoon candy characters.

For a preview of the sort of interview that Fox News would conduct, just have a look at how they have covered recent breaking news stories…

UPDATE: Apparently Fox News had canceled an interview that Biden had agreed to do with Fox Soul, a Black audience focused streaming network. But now the interview is reportedly back on, for now. [Update to update: The interview was canceled again]

Trump’s Jealousy of Bloomberg Kicks Off Hannity’s Super Bowl Suck-Up on Fox News

Posted by on February 2, 2020 at 11:47 am. 3 Comments :

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Fox News has decided to turn the traditional presidential interview into a Trump-fluffing pageant of propaganda. While Fox likes to pretend that it’s a credible news organization, they can’t help taking every opportunity to prove that that’s a lie. So rather than assign the interview of Donald Trump to one of their alleged “journalists” (Chris Wallace, Bret Baier), they hand it to the Pope of the Cult of Trump, Sean Hannity.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Hannity long ago abandoned any pretense of impartiality. He has appeared on stage with Trump at his rallies. He has turned his program into the media campaign headquarters for Trump’s reelection. And he has launched untold smear campaigns against anyone who dared to criticize Trump or tell the truth about him. Hannity’s show is a fountainhead of conspiracy theories and lies in the service of Dear Leader.

So as a teaser to the Super Bowl Sunday Trump interview on Fox News, Hannity released a brief clip to entice potential viewers. Generally the goal of these promos is to offer up something compelling that would make people anxious to tune in. And here is what Fox News and Hannity decided was just the sort of soundbite that would drag in a big audience. Hannity asked Trump what he thought of Mike Bloomberg. And Trump replied…

“I just think of ‘little.’ Now he wants a box for the debates to stand on. Okay, it’s okay, there’s nothing wrong. You could be short. Why should he get a box to stand on, OK? He wants a box for the debates. Why should he be entitled to that? Really? Does that mean everyone else gets a box?”

WOW! Now that’s powerful television. The president of the United States of America blasts one of his potential electoral rivals as being “short.” And that’s the only thing that Trump thinks of when asked about Bloomberg. Naturally, Trump doesn’t think about the fact that Bloomberg, unlike Trump, is an actual billionaire with an estimated net worth of $54 billion. And Trump isn’t thinking about Bloomberg’s promise to spend a billion of that to defeat Trump – even if he isn’t the Democratic nominee. The only thought that flitters around in his empty skull is how he can attach infantile nicknames to a man he is painfully jealous of. As for Bloomberg, he responded with a stinging tweet that refuted Trump’s box blather, for which there is no evidence whatsoever:

So if you’re keeping score:

Trump: Mini Mike is short.
Bloomberg: Trump is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan.

Trump spent the night before this interview road-testing his childishness. He posted a tweet that whined “Mini Mike is part of the Fake News. They are all working together.” This reflects Trump’s crippling paranoia of an all-encompassing cabal that is determined to destroy him. Another tweet asserted that Bloomberg “is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie.” Here Trump manages to fire preadolescent taunts at two rivals at once. All the while pretending to care about the fairness of the Democratic primaries. And Trump’s final midnight tweet raged about the fake box controversy and the imaginary battle “to have the right to stand on boxes.”

If the clip above is what Fox News considers to be the most riveting segment from the Trump/Hannity drool-fest, it’s safe to say that there won’t be anything remotely newsworthy coming out of it. Well, other than further evidence that Hannity is a devoted StormTrumper and Fox News doesn’t give a damn about having any journalistic integrity. But we already knew that. So there really isn’t any reason at all to watch this puerile charade. And low ratings for his Super Bowl butt-kissing with his harlot Hannity would be like needles stabbed into his eyes. So feel free to change the channel, America. Or you could spend that eight minutes whipping another bowl of guacamole.

UPDATE: The interview was even worse than expected. Hannity was a flaming suck-up. And Trump led off with whining about impeachment. Then he just rattled off his petty hatred for Democrats:

  • Biden: He’s Sleepy Joe
  • Sanders: I think he’s a communist.
  • Warren: I call her Fairy Tale.
  • Clinton: I think of emails.
  • Pelosi: I think she’s a very confused, very nervous woman.

This is just further proof that Trump is a low functioning dotard who can’t form a coherent thought or substantive opinion on anything. He just blurts out lame slogans and talking points that might have been written by a temperamental child. And Hannity succeeded in producing a total waste of time, fumbling whatever opportunity he had to be relevant.
