Donald Trump VS CNN VS Sandy VS The Wedding Cake | What are We Doing #podcast #episode 89 #comedy

In the absurd sitcom of US politics, our favorite villain, Donald Trump, has outshone himself. From his escalator ascent to fame, he's been a hyperactive Pinocchio, a world-class Jekyll & Hyde, and a puppeteer extraordinaire. His showreel includes dual impeachments, indictments, and a legal saga fit for 'Law & Order'. He converted the Capitol into a reality TV spin-off after his unique interpretation of the 2020 election. He treats the truth like a vampire treats garlic and handles classified documents like Pokémon cards. He's also an intern in dictator-coddling and lies effortlessly. Surprise! He's the 2024 Republican presidential nomination poster boy. This prompted CNN to air an hour-long town hall - a cringe-worthy rerun of 'Trump Show,' and a critique of CNN CEO Chris Licht’s plan to play Switzerland of news outlets. Licht's charm offensive to win back Republican viewers seems like bringing a squirt gun to a forest fire. The winners? Power-hungry right-wing mad hatters and those enduring fascism for a tax break. The rest of us? Haunted by the ghost of the 2015 escalator ride. Blaming CNN solely for Trump's rise is like blaming a sunburn on the sun while skipping sunscreen. Zucker, CNN's then-president, saw Trump as a golden goose. CNN, like a cat chasing a laser pointer, aired Trump’s rallies excessively. The joke was on them when Trump's rhetoric found a fan club. CNN’s decision to air Wednesday's town hall was like trying to find meaning in a David Lynch movie. The town hall was a rock band reunion tour, with Trump belting out his greatest hits. His charisma shone, and he outmaneuvered moderator, Kaitlan Collins, who was as effective as a spatula against a rhino. CNN’s decision to host this spectacle was as wise as using a sieve to bail water. If this is a sneak peek of CNN's 2024 coverage, Licht, pass the popcorn. --- Join our Patreon: https://patreon.com/whatarewedoing -- Help Us Make Money: ✅ REPURPOSE YOUR VIDEOS - Upload to 1 service & we'll handle the rest.
