No, he does not care at all. Nope. Doesn't care about what the media says. No bearing, none.
This is the same guy that was beefing with Rosie O'Donnell for how long?
Oh, and still has an axe to grind with SPY magazine's founders, from shit they said about him in....checks calendar....the 80s?
Still whiny that Obama has a bigger crowd size than him.
I wonder if, like Hitler being a failed artist, if donvict had actually felt he was successful and actually accepted by most people that he looks up to (and they don't accept him, since he's a weird freak) if his life would have had a different turn. Maybe they should have given him some talk show on TV or radio and make him feel Bigly Important at various events where TMZ or whatever is there to fawn over him.
Fuck. I can totally envision him as a sadistic Jerry Springer type talk show host, deliberately egging on guests in the hopes they beat on each other. While he watches with one hand in his trowser pocket, discretely rubbing himself
Would have kept him distracted though, as long as they made sure to have pretty journalists from the celebrity beat always asking him softballs like how does he keep his hair so golden and his skin so bronze?
In all seriousness, though, he had floated the idea of running for office several times before, and even started in some kind of half-assed way. What I think finally really put him over the edge was Obama. It was really clear that donvict was just obsessed with him, and it drove him nuts to have a Bla in the White House. Just like so many other assholes just like him that watched Faux all the time...I bet his obsession with Obama will probably play a bit part in historical narratives about him - it was so evident in so many things, most especially how he was so butthurt over it that he sent Spicer out in that suit to scream how yooooge donvict's crowd size was!
Melissa Mccarthy as Spicer still cracks me up. Attacking with the podium.
I do wonder if that's what had him out in just a few Scarumuccis...the thought that donvict's rep was being played by a gay woman must have made donvict just grind his teeth.
He handled it well in fact, saying he thought they Time was out of business, then complimenting Elon's performance in his role.
...the Liberal media painting this as a huge win, rather than honestly admitting "We're too scare to ask about Musk's conflicts of interests because we represent the same rich assholes ge does" is part of how they contribute to the disconnect between politics and reality... And it's part of how the election was lost, via sane washing, clickbaiting, and selective ignorance.
