#EverythingTrumpTouchesDies

1/ “But no single editorial decision was more contentious than Mr. Licht’s decision to broadcast a live town hall forum with Mr. Trump last month.” nytimes.com/2023/06/07/bus…
2/ “The event proved chaotic: Mr. Trump unleashed a torrent of falsehoods — and even mocked the moderator, Ms. Collins, as a “nasty woman” — to cheers from the studio audience, which was organized by local Republican and civic groups.”
3/ 👋👋👋
“The forum was roundly criticized, and some CNN viewers said on social media they would no longer watch the channel.”
4/ “To the shock of its staff, CNN began to occasionally dip below the conservative network Newsmax in total prime-show viewership, a once-inconceivable notion.”
5/ “Christiane Amanpour, the eminent CNN anchor, said in a speech that she and Mr. Licht “respectfully disagree” about airing the town hall.”
Pick up the pieces.

Bring back Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelter, and John Harwood.

1/ “As for seeking to weaponize the Justice Department, there was ample evidence that Mr. Trump sought to do just that while in office.” nytimes.com/2023/06/10/us/…
2/ A Republican accusation is really a confession.

“He openly and aggressively pushed his attorneys general to prosecute his perceived enemies and drop cases against his friends and allies, making no pretense that he was seeking equal and independent justice.”
3/ “His friends-and-family approach to his pardon power extended clemency to associates and those who had access to him through them.”

Prepare for these GOP talking points. I’m already seeing them on Twitter.

1/ “Last week, as the former president’s allies saw reports that Mr. Smith was most likely nearing the end of his investigation. . .” nytimes.com/2023/06/09/us/…
2/ “. . .strategists working with Mr. Trump’s super PAC began drafting a television advertisement to coincide with the anticipated federal indictment.”
3/ “The advertisement’s messages will tie in with talking points that are circulating among some of Mr. Trump’s most ardent defenders on Capitol Hill.”

Disgusting pigs.
The money, always the money.

“His political advisers had been preparing for weeks to exploit the indictment for full effect. His team has come to view law enforcement actions against him as a core part of its fund-raising strategy” nytimes.com/2023/06/09/us/…
“Online fund-raising — which has long been the lifeblood of Mr. Trump’s political operation because high-end Republican donors largely shun him — has dried up for all Republican candidates over the past several years, including Mr. Trump.”
“G.O.P. donors are exhausted by constant hysterical appeals to give money to Trump to stop Democrats from destroying the nation.”

1/ “Do not countenance the ‘big lie.’

No matter how many times Trump says it, it is the media’s job to correct and rebut the lie that Trump won” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
“It behooves the press to remind voters repeatedly: There was never evidence of fraud sufficient to change the result, as Trump’s closest aides testified that they told him and recounts and audits showed.”
“As soon as reporters decide to “let it go” (i.e., not interject or interrupt recitation of the “big lie”), election denial becomes a normal position, not a heinous attack on truth and democracy.”

“Despite vows from the leaders of the PGA Tour that they would not permit their game to be sullied, men’s professional golf is now in thrall to Saudi Arabia. . .” nytimes.com/2023/06/07/spo…
“. . .a nation engaged in a full-tilt attempt to distract the public from the abuse of its citizens through the glitz, gloss and worldwide appeal of sports.”
“Human rights, it turns out, are a bore, and an obstacle. “Sportswashing,” as it is known, is powerful and effective.”

1/ Biden crushes Trump!

“President Biden would expand his 2020 margin of victory over former President Donald Trump if a rematch were held today, according to a new poll” nypost.com/2023/05/17/bid…
2/ “The WPA Intelligence survey of 1,571 registered voters found Biden, 80, leading 76-year-old Trump 47% to 40%. By comparison, Biden defeated Trump by 4.5 percentage points in the 2020 popular vote. . .”
3/ “The poll . . . also showed independent voters backing Biden by a whopping 14 percentage points, up from the nine percentage points by which the Democrat won independents three years ago.”
