It's Cnn Who Really Should Hold Trump Accountable. And Because They Are Trading The Short-term Fix Of Increased Ratings By Focusing On Trump Drama - And I'm Not Saying They Shouldn't Cover The Russian Investigations, Of Course They Should - But The Blanket Coverage, It's Not About News Values. It Is About Ratings. And It Comes At A Tremendous Cost Because Trump Supporters Are Fully Defended Against This. As Far As They're Concerned, This Is A Vast Conspiracy, It's Fake News, It Doesn't Impact Their Daily Lives, It Makes Them See Trump As A Victim, Which He Wants To Be Seen As.

It Would Be So Easy For A Developer To Slap On An Extra $6 Million To A Trump Licensing Deal And Have That Be A Backdoor Bribe. Who Are We To Say What That Is Worth? It's So Ephemeral. And This Is The Appeal Of Selling Something As Ephemeral As A Brand Name, Is That It Can Be Inflated Beyond All Reason.
