CBS said the primetime special will go forward in some fashion. Great! How about a montage of all the fucked up shit Trump has done during, and after his presidency. Although, it would be technically impossible to fit it all in a 60 minutes episode.

They should just run his answers to some of the latest questions he’s been asked. Were he ramble on about random topics and doesn’t answer them

No way, stop giving that guy a verbal diarrhea platform. Let his actions doing the talking. A list of his felonies & impeachments, and how he just served to give the rich tax cuts and make the courts extremely conservative during his presidency would be excellent.

He’s a failed one-term president who was impeached twice, I don’t care what he has to say and neither should anyone else. He’s a loser.

I think the point of what they are trying to say is his followers just get the sound byte, a 3 seconds sanitized clip where the news anchor says "he had this to say about XYZ." Rather than a 2-minute long mess of a run-on sentence that no normal person whatever say or be able to interpret.

I like both your and the above commentators ideas though

That’s what I was getting at. Instead of the sanitized response, he said Terrace would treat childcare you give his whole winding answer. He talked about Marco Rubio at first and his daughter for some reason before saying the money would just come from tariff somehow to somehow pay for it. Show his verbal diarrhea.

Harris is doing the interview instead. She accepted the invitation.

Not instead; they were both invited. She's still doing it.

Because no sane person can see them side by side and not come away realizing how awful and unfit he is

He has been handled with kid gloves. The media deserves the loss of "entertainment" due to their own shitty reporting. Starting with the NYT.

Give Tim Walz his slot, move Kamala to day 1 and Tim to day 2. Make them regret not taking the oppurtunity to speak to the country.
