Piers Morgan on Trump/Putin. & other stuff
"
Let’s be honest, every single thing Trump says or does these days sparks widespread outrage.
It’s not a coincidence.
There’s a 24/7 outrage industry surrounding Trump which handsomely rewards those who participate in it – be they cable news networks, newspapers, late night talk shows, or politically-motivated entertainers on social media.
Relentless Trump-bashing is hugely popular, and the more frenzied the better. It directly translates into substantially higher TV ratings, newspaper subscriptions, and for the entertainers - ticket/book/album sales.
So his most ardent critics all have a big vested financial interest in mocking and abusing the President every minute of every day.
Trump hysteria is overblown and misplaced, and the refusal to give him credit for anything is absurd.
