Snowflake.
No, he just made even more headlines. The more headlines he makes, the more votes he gets.
This user doesn't deserve the down votes.
They're not saying that Trump should get more votes because of his trash headlines and behavior, they're just calling out because it's just what happens with that fascist.
Democrats should, unfortunately, do the same kind of massive attention seeking to resonate with those of his base that aren't completely set on just being evil. It makes the candidate look active, engaged, decisive, and not passive on any matter, no matter how small.
Anyone who pays attention to Trump knows he has no substance with what he says, but because he's always front and center of every little issue (or at least that's how he's got the media optics playing for him), it makes him seem very present and on top of things. Think of it like being a useless office worker, but you always walk around looking angry and in a hurry so people assume you're busy and working hard.
Like it or not, there is huge value in that in this whole dumb popularity contest.
This is a good summary. I don’t know if people thought I was in support of Trump with my comment. But it is very frustrating seeing so many Trump headlines and no Harris headlines.
I’m happy to see “Harris bashes Trump for shitty comment” stories. But all I’m seeing is “Trump makes shitty comment”. Like he’s the only candidate.
