Trump Humiliated As Networks Refuse To Air His Primetime Address
Trump thought that he would get wall-to-wall coverage from all TV networks for his primetime speech, but two have declined, and others may not carry the whole address.
Donald Trump has been upset about his declining relevance for a while now. Trump’s Truth Social posts no longer get treated like breaking news on cable news. Not every utterance of his gets endless coverage.
Most of what Trump does or says during the day doesn’t get coverage by the evening. It seems that the nation is, in many respects, treating Donald Trump like the unpopular soon to be lame duck president that he is.
Conservative media still go gaga for Trump, but the president doesn’t deliver big numbers in terms of views or ratings for them anymore. In fact, much of conservative online media is in the midst of dealing with double-digit audience decline.
Excitement and interest in Donald Trump were only lower after the 1/6 attack.
Trump’s answer to this problem is the primetime address. The president has decided that he is going to use the platform of primetime White House addresses to force America to pay attention to him.
Trump thought that the networks would line up to cover him speaking from the White House. The primetime address would be his new platform. It was how Trump planned to stay relevant and drive the national political discussion, but the television networks aren’t playing along.
