Trump Spends Thanksgiving Day GLOATING That Fox News Ratings Have Take a Dive, ‘Will Go Down Much Further!’

As everyone here knows, because we’ve reported on it many times, there is a lot of money to be made on the Right-Side of politics. They LOVE reading or watching stories about their greatness and the success that is surely just around the corner and one need not worry that much about accuracy. But the only problem with all that money is that it must be blessed by Donald Trump, or the organization has no hope. It is a cult in every way shape and form.

As a member of the cult, one must fully embrace that a conspiracy kept Trump from winning a second term. To be honest, we’re not even sure if Trump actually believes this. He only knows that by fighting the election, he stretches out the time to continue to beg for money from the cult. So, it’s possible that even Trump doesn’t believe in the conspiracy. No one can know for sure.

But the media better damn well promote the conspiracy (this is the key to money) or they are dead to him. Fox is likely thinking a little further down the road than the newer start-ups. Fox wants to be a viable “thing” three to four years from now, trusted, and thus has to act somewhat responsibly. Newsmax and OANN have no such problem. They’re making money now and betting that they can carry it into the future, or not – just grabbing what they can now.

That’s a bad sign for American democracy.

Trump is actually silly with glee about Fox dropping like a rock for the simple reason that they’re not buying the conspiracy. According to Rawstory:

On Thanksgiving, Trump gave thanks for the network’s daytime rating reportedly falling 32% in the last two weeks.

“Will go down much further. Weekend daytime even worse, dead. They still don’t get it. Fantastic alternatives! The late/great Roger Ailes is seriously missed, but I still won LEGAL VOTES by a lot!!!” Trump falsely claimed.

This is, of course, one of the hallmarks of a narcissist, reveling in others’ pain. Of course, this is not the first time he’s done this. And it is all because Fox won’t embrace that wild-ass conspiracy thing he has going on that has no hope of going anywhere:

We would like to point out again, as we will in nearly every article on Trump, 2300 people died yesterday, almost a 9-11, Trump should be in the situation room. Instead he’s doing this.

Peace, y’all
