You’ll notice a striking difference between election news coverage now and the leadup to the 2016 presidential primaries: The mainstream media have hardly breathed a word about Donald Trump (except to say that he’s not doing well in their “polls” and so obviously voters must want him out of the race). Back when Trump was making his run for the nomination in 2015, the newspapers couldn’t keep him off their front pages. He got hours of coverage on every news network every day.
But that was back when most Republicans (myself included) didn’t consider Trump a serious candidate. The media decided he would be a wonderful candidate from the Democrats’ perspective and selected him as most likely to lose to Hillary Clinton. So they gave him all the free coverage he could handle. Once the establishment realized that Trump was connecting with and inspiring millions of Americans (myself included), it was too late to stop him.
But the papers and TV shows and social sites have learned their lesson this time around: People love hearing about Trump, and he loves talking. Media attention is his oxygen. So now they won’t give him any. Prepare yourselves to hear hardly a whisper about Trump for the next year or two—except for portentous statements offered by pompous talking heads who will say he needs to drop out now “for the good of the party.” Whose party do you suppose they mean?
~Snip~
Trump was a huge mistake: He was the biggest mistake machine politicians had made in over a century. The success of Trump’s presidency dealt establishment politicians a heavy blow. A second Trump term might kill them, and they know it.
So, be prepared to hear nothing about Trump’s candidacy, nothing about his massive rallies, nothing about the unwavering enthusiasm of his supporters. Be prepared to hear only one thing: That the “people” don’t want him. But don’t believe it. Remember which people are doing the talking.

Commentary:
Indeed, the GOP never meant for Trump to win the 2016 election.
All you have to do is to look at the two previous picks to compete against Obama. McCain and Romney. Both candidates were dipped RINO politicians.
Trump takes his job seriously and that is why those in political power fear him.
What previous president as ever accepted te job and came away lesser the richer.
The only other president that comes to mind is Ulysses S. Grant.

Yes. He does. Unfortunately, it isn’t the job he was hired for.

It’s his own fault his attempts at self enrichment via the government didn’t work out as planned but his daughter did get some Chinese trademarks, his son in law got a Saudi bailout and he charged the US government many times the normal rate for his hotels.

Self enrichment? Trump didn't take a salary for president and lost millions while he was in office according to his taxes. Stop gaslighting.

 

[1srelluc]

Meh, why most of you idiots (on both sides) choose to live in the past is beyond me.

Hey you dumb shits, Trump has not been POTUS for near two fuckin' years.

 

[22lcidw]

Your OP's title is honest. Good job.

Lesser men would have wilted. Many of the people in D.C. are dead inside. Except when you upset their applecart. Just in the last month Trump has taken more vitriol than Joe has in 50 years. This is an indictment on the political class who is obviously voting for someone else's interest the last two years alone. Trump even met the class halfway at times however it was not enough.

 

[Coyote]

…and Republicans, even when claiming they don’t like Trump or didn’t vote for him still can’t stop making Excuses for him. So many useful idiots.

Have you told Trump that?

 

[surada]

So Trump ran for President in order to enrich himself? That is about the stupidest thing I have ever read.

He ran to enrich his brand. He's a lifelong grifter. He was a Democrat for 8 years.

Was Donald Trump Really a Democrat?

Long before the ultrawealthy real-estate magnate Donald Trump won the 2016 election as the Republican nominee, he was a Democrat.

I agree that Trump was never supposed to win. But the GOP just kept hoping that someone else would deal with the "Trump Problem".

The problem with McCain and Romney wasn't that they were "RINO", it was that they really didn't have a case to make after Bush fucked up everything.

As far as Trump coming away poorer, that's more to do with his ineptitude as a businessman. Every business venture he has had lost money. He's just kept afloat on his investments

The ironic thing is Republicans are starting to turn on Trump, not because of his many, many screwups, but because they have realized after four election cycles, he is LOSING more elections for them than he is winning.

So they are finally doing the right thing.. for the wrong reasons.

The success failure of Trump's presidency dealt establishment REPUBLICAN politicians a heavy blow.

There

Fixed it for you

 

[Kilroy2]

if Trump is successful in his bid to divide the party then all I can say is

Yeah, yeah Trumps are man, if he can't do it no one can

 

[whitehall]

The two years (so far) of Biden Harris was political genius? Sometimes TDS gets in the way of logical thinking.
