The TFG -addicted media. Last night when I went to bed at midnight

[NewHendoLib]

The NYT app home page has 5 TFG articles, and 8 Op eds about it.

This does not bode well for the coming years

1. TDFG gets off on media coverage because he is CHEAP and knows how to play the media

to his advantage.

He is jealous of the media coverage the ACTUAL President gets. Much of it positive, considering.

2. He WILL NOT go away.

But he may become the Harold Stassen of the new era. My husband and I were talking about this last night.

Harold Stassen never stopped running for President. Seven times! All he wound up “winning” was the title of Human Punchline.

3. What were the headlines & content? What I've seen so far has been brutal. Murdoch has dumped him

That’s not a good sign for Florida Man.

4. Not TFG. Say his name, Donald Trump.

That name will get out the Democratic vote, starting with Georgia. Since he is a candidate, he is not The Former Guy anymore. President Biden calls out Trump by name. So should we.

8. Not how to deal with a malignant narcissist

Saying his name validates and legitimizes him. It puts his pathology and evil on the same plane as normal people. That's counterproductive--at best.

The only way to get the better of a malignant narcissist is to expose the scumbag for what he is, and insulting and ridiculing him rips that thin mask of nominal normalcy right off. Making fun of him by referring to him with demeaning sobriquets keeps him riled up and that = prone to stupid mistakes that only make him look bad.

Most of all, though, I'm a grown woman and can decide for myself how to refer to people, thanks. I made a choice long ago never to refer to that...thing...by its name, and I'm not about to start now.

9. Get-Out-The-Vote trumps dealing with a narcissist.

You don't encourage people to turn out in Georgia by talking about the former guy. If Trump wins the GOP nomination would he still be TFG when each day Biden will be talking about 'Trump'.

5. Thankfully, TFG gets no attention here at DU

[NewHendoLib]

7. Ha!

[sarisataka]

6. By my math

55% of the DU front page posts are about Trump. I might have missed a few.

For people who claim to be tired of hearing about him we seem to be unable to stop talking about him.

10. Sickening!

[Johonny]

11. I don't think they understand how tired of Trump we are

[bdamomma]

14. Apparently

they (the media) do not give a shit what we think. This is such disrespect to us, where are the pollsters now??? they should ask Americans if we approve of him running again after all he is a CRIMINAL.

Such disrespect for Americans who care about DEMOCRACY!!!

15. Brokeback Media - they just can't quit him
