A glance at the descending television news ratings tells the story. Americans are exhausted by the constant battle between a desperate media and an angry President. Everything is now directed into the "pain zone." That is "how can I use this against Trump or, on the other side, the corrupt press which generally loathes him."

 

Tedious. Did Trump send Epstein a birthday card three years before the criminal's profile was widely exposed? Who cares? Well, the press does because the scenario might damage the President.  What other reason would there be to obsess over this?

 

Donald Trump understands the con.  Ignore anything positive he does, concentrate on trumping up negative things. They don't even have to be true, but you can't use George Stephanopoulos' wording.  Calling the President a "rapist" cost Disney about $20 million all in.

 

Stephen Colbert said the President should F himself on Monday night. Nice. Not unusual, as Tom Jones once sang.  But it was predictable.  Andrew Jackson would have shot Colbert a long time ago.

 

Most of us are fed up with the game.  Tuning out. Tired of contrived nonsense. So, consumer dissent is growing.

 

Even so, things are not likely to change. Too bad for the nation.

 

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
