Trump is Featuring Rachel Maddow in His Phony ‘Media Accountability’ Come-Ons"},"content":{"rendered":"

Throughout his public life – and especially while president – Donald Trump has demonstrated what an awful poker player he would be. He has what pros call a “a tell”<\/em> that gives away what cards he’s holding. And for the most part, Trump is holding a hand that is panic full of fear. He displays that on a nearly daily (hourly?) basis with his insipid “Witch Hunt”<\/em> tweets<\/a><\/strong> and his frantic attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller.<\/p>\n

Of course, Trump is also squarely focused on the media that he refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”<\/em> His frightened reaction to every new disclosure of wrongdoing<\/a><\/strong> by him or his crime family is obvious to anyone paying the least bit of attention. And the more he attacks CNN or the New York Times or whatever reporter<\/a><\/strong> happens to ask him the probing question of the day, the more he reveals what’s scaring him the most at that moment.<\/p>\n

So what’s clearly scaring Trump now is MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Trump’s “Make America Great Again”<\/em> reelection committee just posted an ad Facebook that asks his dimwitted cult followers to take a survey, and Rachel Maddow is featured in the ad’s graphic, although not in the video to which it links. She’s the bait for this campaign that implores his fans to “Take the Survey.”<\/em><\/p>\n
