They're incentivized to push the agenda since Trump wants to put in more protection för big money

It's not that. Anti-Trump media makes a buttload of money wringing their hands and saying how bad he is. He drives ratings.

People stopped listening to him after he screwed up COVID. Plus everyone was tired of his antics after 4 years.

Fuck the media. This is your future here. Don't vote for Biden. Vote for better Supreme Court Justices, better laws, better executive orders, and less corruption.

It's not that. ~~Anti-Trump~~ Anti-Biden media makes a buttload of money wringing their hands and saying how bad ~~he is~~ his chances are. ~~He~~ It drives ratings.

FTFY. If you can't see how the media pivoted from anti-Trump to Anti-Biden without missing a beat, I don't know what to say other than I don't think you're paying attention.

People stopped listening to him after he screwed up COVID. Plus everyone was tired of his antics after 4 years.

Yeah, I don't think you're paying attention. The media and his donor class never stopped listening to him, outside of the couple weeks after J6 when consequences might have been a thing, and they've been giving him attention basically non stop for the better part of a decade now.

It was nice for a while when it seemed like maybe he'd be losing sway in the republican party, but that time was mercilessly short and long gone.
