After all, he is utterly incapable of completing a rational thought, expressing an intelligent opinion, or avoiding humiliating gaffes. His own staff has said that his curtailed schedule is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/harris-campaign-mocks-exhausted-trump-appears-nod-event-rcna176206\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">due to his becoming exhausted<\/a><\/strong>.

Get that fat pig off the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Given reports that Trump is exhausted and is canceling campaign events and interviews, this is something that his handlers are probably saying to Melania every day. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2oIPPEKAjs\">https:\/\/t.co\/2oIPPEKAjs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1847544203200352709?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, Trump has shown up for a few interviews where he is guaranteed not to face any confrontational questions or suffer the indignity of being fact-checked. And most of those have been with his very own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. In just the past month Trump has visited with such dependable Fox News Trump-fluffers as&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sean Hannity<\/li>\n<li>Laura Ingraham<\/li>\n<li>Brian Kilmeade<\/li>\n<li>Greg Gutfeld<\/li>\n<li>Maria Bartiromo<\/li>\n<li>Larry Kudlow<\/li>\n<li>Fox and Friends<\/li>\n<li>Harris Faulkner<\/li>\n<li>And this coming Sunday, Howard Kurtz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s a superstar line up of fiercely partisan MAGA devotees who have spent the last couple of years proselytizing for the Cult of Trump. The frequency of Trump&#8217;s visits averages out to twice a week. This is an unprecedented relationship between a so-called <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> network and a political candidate. Trump might as well have his own graphics and theme music to accompany his programs.<\/p>\n<p>What makes Trump&#8217;s hiding out at Fortress Fox so preposterous at this time is that it can&#8217;t possibly benefit his campaign. He&#8217;s speaking to an audience that is already committed to voting for him. So while Harris is out in the field rounding up every vote she she can, Trump is preaching to his hideously off-key choir.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that makes this peculiar is that, despite his constant presence, Trump has also been blasting Fox News for being less than unconditionally worshipful of him. That sort of waffling is intolerable to Trump. For some recent examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63404\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Trump Joins the Fox News \u2018Curvy Couch\u2019 Potatoes to Complain About Fox News<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;I\u2019m going to tell [Rupert Murdoch] &#8230; Don\u2019t put on negative commercials for 21 days, don\u2019t put them \u2014 and don\u2019t put on the air their horrible people.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63384\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Trump Slams Fox News Shortly After Gushing Over Bret Baier\u2019s Hostile Interview of Kamala Harris<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Why does Suzanne Scott of FoxNews keep putting on third rate \u2018talking heads\u2019 like Jessica Tarlov&#8230;If I win\u2026it is DESPITE Fox, not because of them!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63091\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Crybaby Trump Tells Fox News that They Should Only Put on Sycophantic Trump-Fluffers<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;What\u2019s the purpose of me doing a nice show and then they put nine horrible commercials on, which are all lies&#8230;You can\u2019t do that.\u2019 Fox should put just the good people on.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62392\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Crybaby Trump Unleashes a Flaming Freak Out Vilifying Fox News for Not Censoring his Foes<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;Why is FoxNews putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies?

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More to Trump&#8217;s liking was the interview he did with Maria Bartiromo where he made his abhorrent threat to use the U.S. military against American citizens who disagree with him. He later doubled down on that threat during a town hall\/infomercial that Fox News aired with host Harris Faulkner&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63358\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hosts a MAGA-Only \u2018Town Hall\u2019 that is Actually a Lie-Riddled Trump Campaign Infomercial<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the next three weeks we can expect more of the same. Trump will continue to be too afraid to sit for any real interviews, or to debate Kamala Harris. But he will still grace his Fox flunkies with his lying, demented, presence knowing that they will never point out his mental defects, ignorance, or dishonesty. Most of the country knows that Trump is unfit to serve in any office. Here&#8217;s hoping that enough of them will turn out to vote between now and November 5th.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Election Day draws nearer, the status of the competing campaigns is evident in their activities.
