Trump TV bear market
by digby
Yes, this actually happened last night as every other network was covering the breaking news of Trump’s personal attorney being raided by the FBI:
I would say that you can’t make this stuff up, but actually, you can:
Left: Stephen Colbert warning of the grave danger posed by bears. Right: Tucker Carlson warning of the grave danger posed by sex-crazed, vicious pandas. One of these is satire; the other is a de facto Presidential advisor. #2018 pic.twitter.com/pmkG0iOXZh— Gregory Koger (@GregoryKoger) April 10, 2018
Fox Trump TV was very discombobulated last night. Hannity looked like he’d swallowed a basketful of lemons.
Trump’s favorite adviser had it together though:
End the Outrageous Witch Hunt- @GreggJarrett: AG Jeff Sessions is incompetent, the FBI is corrupt & Robert Mueller & Rod Rosenstein are unethical & abusing the legal process. They all deserve to be fired. #MAGA #TrumpTrain #Dobbs pic.twitter.com/b1apXm6x84— Lou Dobbs (@LouDobbs) April 9, 2018
If Trump finally completely loses it and fires everyone or calls out the troops or whatever major action he finally settles on, Dobbs will be leading the charge.
Not everyone agrees:
A majority of people who voted in a Twitter poll posted by Fox Business host Lou Dobbs on Monday night said President Trump should not fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
As of Tuesday morning, about three-quarters of respondents said they didn’t think Trump should fire Mueller, Attorney General Jeff Sessions or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
The other one-quarter of respondents said Trump should fire Mueller.
Dobbs appeared to be aiming for a different result when he posted the poll on Monday.
“Do you believe the corrupt leadership and actions of the DOJ and FBI are now so outrageous and overwhelming that President Trump should fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein?” Dobbs wrote on Twitter.
