Trump is not having any legitimate event worth discussing. He is going to stomp his feet and spew nonsensical and hateful rhetoric.
Why give him a platform?

better not show one minute of tfg event. Time to quit talking about him. Time to start talking about putting members of Congress in jail that participated in meetings to plan and implement the attempted coup/insurrection.

Trump's "performance" will get massive coverage from FOX NEWSLESS .... throw in CNN (aka FOX NEWSLESS II) along with MSNBC via Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd showing their love for the Fat Fascist

five years of covering every Trump burp and fart like it was breaking news...five years of Trump taunting the media and hurling insults at correspondents with no network pushback..but then again, why should they?..the targeted correspondents became instant media stars, their Facebook and Instagram pages exploded with "likes", Joe and Mika brought them on their morning blather-fest, and the networks raked in the cash...and this 1/6 Trump presser stunt and the media swallowing his verbal poop is designed to show the world Trump's power and relevance... it's not that the MSM can't "quit" him, it's that they don't want to...
