I think he might attend the next one.

It's okay if he thought there would be no benefit to him and he wanted to abstain.

But he had to schedule the release of his interview with Tucker to coincide with the GOP debate. That's petty and shows the mindset of it's-all-about-me.

I am honestly disliking him more and more and that puts me in a bind, honestly.

Fox ratings for the republican primary debate are so bad they're holding off publishing their numbers.

Don't be fooled.

Trump had his reasons for counter-programming during the Fox Primary debate.

"The rationale for Trump holding a counter programming event to the Fox primary debates is simple. Fox News tried to set Trump up.....just like Fox did in the 2016 primary debates. This was all about getting Trump. Instead, Trump turned the tables on the Trump haters at Fox...including the Murdochs, Paul Ryan, Cavuto and others and blew Fox News away with more than 231 million views. More people saw Trump in 46 minutes with Tucker than would have seen Trump in 10 debates on Fox News. That's a 2fer. Trump stuck his thumb in the eyes of Fox Trump haters and blew them away with audience share too."

231.55 million views do not mean 231.5 millions of people like or respect him. People love to watch a trainwreck and that is why so many tuned in.

I'm not fooled. You're beginning to sound like you've bought the I Hate Trump Koolaid though. People only tuned in to watch the Trump train-wreck....which didn't happen.

This is why so many people followed him on twitter, too. That’s why I never understood the claims that he couldn’t have lost the election, because of social media follows and viewers? There are these things called hate-follows, and frenemies.

Btw, 231.5 million views is a huge number who tuned in to watch the Trump train-wreck. Did you even watch it yourself?

I'll tell you what, I don't drink anyone's koolaid, whether it's the love or the hate koolaid.

I am not into cult of personality. I dont make idols of human beings. I look at people's actions and their results. I am certainly not into wishful thinking.

If a politician makes serious mistakes, he is not guaranteed my vote. I am no one ride or die chick...

If you're results oriented as you say, then you must love Trump, because he's the president who produced all those great results for America. Or, do you get to overlook Trump's great results...on the economy, on domestic policy, on foreign policy, on energy policy and instead, focus on 'mean tweets'?

There is no Trump cult. You're drinking the leftist Koolaid.
Trump supporters are the most results oriented voters on planet earth.

Geez, I have never claimed to be. In fact, I am one of the rare people in here who will readily admit when I make a mistake. So obviously I don't think of myself as perfect.

The issue is DT making major errors, and that is not being acknowledged by the adoring base.

Wrong. These are not major "errors." You can't just fire public employees without due cause. You shouldn't direct the Dept. of Justice. Although, now, he should do just that.

If you do not think that being blindsided on having elections stolen from under you, and having the J6 turned into the fiasco that it became are not major errors... then I don't know what to say to you.

2. President Trump told his followers to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.” Who would think the FBI would get away with staging such a riot? Many protests have taken place at that location and marched to the Capitol—some over heated topics like abortion. So, you’re claiming the POTUS cannot be allowed do the same, just because he’s disliked? Sounds to me like you truly have drank the hater aid of TDS.

3. Take off your hater shades for a moment and give some rational thought a chance to escape your bias. Facts: In light of all the incontrovertible evidence of a vast conspiracy against President Trump that has been discovered after he departed office, yes, he has more than enough sufficient and just cause to fire all of the ones involved.
