Do you really think it's possible to watch ANY news program for two minutes without seeing Trump's fat face? I mean, every day at his mini-campaign rally, he spouts some sedulous nonsense pulled out of his ass, and for the next several hours, the airwaves are filled with "Was he serious??" and "Can he DO that??"
It's also a sad reality that the Orange Orangutan has tremendous influence on whatever happens, including whether the experts are actually listened to. The wise people pontificating on C-SPAN are continually "trumped" by a narcissistic psychopath in an orange fright wig.
