    Oh I’m well aware of how Russia has helped him and the GOP and all else from their playbook (Just wanted an excuse to mention that), but let’s not pretend that he wasn’t also greatly aided by the American media’s obsession with him and the constant stories he provides and ratings he brings in. Let’s not forget how the DNC helped him by sabotaging and hamstringing their only viable candidate because it was Hilary’s turn.

    Are we of the opinion these factors couldn’t possibly come together to fuck us again, because I’m not quite so optimistic.

      The media you refer to like fox and those who now own cnn were working on behalf of at least one of the following if not more, russia, sa, china, etc.

      Some news just glammed onto trump because he is a clown show that drove ratings. The rest helped him get elected because daddy putin or a saudi prince or someone else told them to.
