Why Are News Anchors Asking Their Reporters What Is Tr**p Saying About Nancy's Abduction?....

[global1]

Who the he'll cares what Tr**p has to say about this?

Whatever he says will not be sincere anyway.

1. They're giving him a chance to grandstand

And make it all about himself.

2. Right, they are prepped before tsf comes in. The reporters are told that tsf

is getting reports on this and that. So naturally they ask him.

3. KEEP HIM OUT OF IT !! It's a dangerous enough situation without dragging Ol' Stumblefingers into it.

He practically triggers a war every time he goes on Xitter -- no one needs him blowing up delicate hostage negotiations. And you know that's really all he could accomplish in such a case.

4. News so often descends into gossip, even in such a serious subject as a kidnapping

and all the news sellers care about is eyeballs. Yes, they know very well that Trump is not operationally involved, is too incompetent to be involved, and what he says about anything is to make himself the centre of things. But they also know they have some gullible viewers who want to hear.
