To that end, cowardly Trump has visited Fox News nine times in just the past month. That&#8217;s about twice a week. Within that same time frame he has declined bookings with everyone from 60 Minutes to the NRA. Which is not the best way to expand voter outreach beyond those who are already locked in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63431\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Scaredy Trump Has Retreated to the Safety of His Fox News Bunker While Canceling Other Media<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning Trump made another appearance on Fox News. This time with their alleged media correspondent, Howard Kurtz. This interview produced nothing more than any of the others with sycophants like Sean Hannity and Maria Bartiromo. Although Kurtz did ask a couple of questions that were marginally more challenging for Trump. The problem is that Trump still failed to give rational replies. For instance, on the subject of the deadly January 6th insurrection that he incited&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Kurtz:<\/strong> The other day you called it a &#8220;day of love.&#8221;  And it sparked a lot of reaction with given that many police officers were attacked, and there were mobs shouting &#8220;hang Mike Pence.&#8221; Can you understand why many Americans would view it as a dark and tragic day in our history?<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> The crowd I spoke before, which you rarely see, was the biggest crowd I&#8217;ve ever spoke to. and I&#8217;ve spoken to the biggest crowds. I&#8217;ve never seen that many people&#8230;A small group went down to the Capitol. They came because they though it was a rigged election. This was a protest against a rigged election&#8230;And there was a beauty to it and a love to it that I&#8217;ve never seen before.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Q: You called January 6 a day of love.

Never mind that his claims on that are flagrantly false. It was his way of segueing to a defense of the insurrectionists who he said was <em>&#8220;a small number.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Actually, there were several thousand, of which more than 1,200 were arrested, and over 800 of those have already been convicted. Over 700 of them pleaded guilty. These are people that Trump has called <em>&#8220;patriots&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;warriors,&#8221;<\/em> and whom he has pledged to pardon if reelected.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s response never even mentioned the 140 police officers who were hospitalized, or the threat to his own vice-president, Mike Pence. But he did offer his opinion that this horrific day had, in his warped view <em>&#8220;a beauty to it and a love to it.&#8221;<\/em> I&#8217;m sure that Jeffrey Dahmer thought the same thing about his activities.<\/p>\n<p>Kurtz also asked Trump about his claims that Haitian migrants were eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. Trump managed to double down on the ridiculous and thoroughly debunked allegation, while simultaneously admitting that he doesn&#8217;t know anything about it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Kurtz:<\/strong> You said you were just reporting what had been said, But why not say now &#8216;Look, that turned out not to be true&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> [Interrupting] I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s true or not true.<br \/>\n<strong>Kurtz:<\/strong> You don\u2019t know?

Don\u2019t don\u2019t, \u2013 don\u2019t blame me.<br \/>\n<strong>Kurtz:<\/strong> Well, I think it\u2019s been debunked by local officials.<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think it\u2019s been debunked at all.

That&#8217;s the state of dementia that has overtaken both Trump and his cult. And voters need to make an unambiguous statement between now and November 5th that we are not falling for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63404\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Joins the Fox News \u2018Curvy Couch\u2019 Potatoes to Complain About Fox News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63384\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Slams Fox News Shortly After Gushing Over Bret Baier\u2019s Hostile Interview of Kamala Harris<\/a><\/li>\n<li><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><\/li>\n<\/ul>\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>The depths of the derangement of Donald Trump is almost to severe to measure.
