Dimon overlooks Trump’s terrible policies

I assume he just wants more tax cuts for rich people.

Trump should be more respectful. Democrats don’t use Nazi-style language about people. https://t.co/eUMaEf9Eqf

So Dimon can tolerate election denial and “poisoning our blood” comments in return for tax cuts and other benefits for rich people?
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) January 17, 2024

Dimon is not alone.

This is bad, of course, but I think it will be healthy for Democrats to disabuse themselves of the idea that the corporate executive class is going to serve as some kind of bulwark against right-wing authoritarianism. https://t.co/qxbtJKyiQy pic.twitter.com/t2uLraRvB6

We look at Trump and see the threat of autocracy. Corporate America looks at POTUS 45 and sees tax cuts, crushed unions and trains running on time

Dear @jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Trump lost in 2020 remember?

Trump was wrong about punishing women if they choose to have an abortion.

Trump was wrong about the pandemic.

Trump was wrong about his tax law, which helped the top 1%. Oh wait, is that the critical issue you mean? https://t.co/zMqhiUJV0z

At a time in American history when the most influential leaders of America need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, for democracy, for decency, and against Donald Trump, Jamie Dimon is leading the charge in the opposite direction.https://t.co/4QbbGZg7O1 pic.twitter.com/bgz3iE3n9x

"The danger in Dimon’s remark lies as much in what he did not say as in what he did. Such a statement from such a powerful and influential business leader is just what a mad doctor ordered to normalize Trump."https://t.co/pkOEvTMZVD

Donald Trump has been found guilty of rape by a jury in his hometown.'

Would Jamie Dimon hire an unrepentant rapist? Of course not. Would he encourage his employees to spend time with an unrepentant rapist? Of course not.

But Jamie Dimon thinks the problem is "how Trump said… https://t.co/XgyR4ofa5k

Nikki Haley isn’t Trump but she’s bad too

Haley isn’t moderate. She’s just not a despicable human being like Trump.

For example, I expect to vote for the Democrat for president in November 2024. But I also expect to ask for a Republican ballot in March to vote for Haley against Trump on Super Tuesday. https://t.co/CYdrF4t2Yn

Do you really think Trump in jail will divide the country more than Trump has already? If he is found guilty, does she have any idea how angry I (and millions of others) would be if he was pardoned? Pardoning Trump would not heal the division.

Washington Post cowardice

They referred to Trump’s bigoted remarks about Haley as “racially charged”instead of “racist”. That’s pathetic. Trump is a racist. We have seen this over and over. Remember his attacks on Mexicans on the day he announced he was running for president? The Post is helping Trump by not being accurate about how bad his remarks are.

The media had better ratings when Trump was president. I assume that’s why they are not fully exposing how bad he is. The Post has company.

The phrase “racially charged” has 15 characters plus a space. The word “racist” has only 6 characters. So why would @washingtonpost headline writers choose “racially charged” over “racist”? Other than cowardice, I mean. pic.twitter.com/GlJlrugkYT

“Racially charged” is neither more accurate nor more succinct. It’s less information with more words. https://t.co/XtcsuAQIEu

The latest media failure in Trump coverage

The networks have done less coverage of Trump rallies. However, he has manipulated them again by turning his court appearances into rallies which they will cover. I stopped watching cable news and have no regrets.

Trump has figured out that outlets won’t cover his campaign rallies but will cover this. So, campaign rallies out. Courtside rants, in. https://t.co/GSrbAFVgSW
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) January 11, 2024

Hopefully you will give other candidates equal time if you cover these rallies. The media has learned very little from
Trump’s manipulation of them since the 2016 election.

Trump, not Colorado, has put the Supreme Court in an impossible position

The Supreme Court will rule on the decisions by Colorado and other states on Trump’s eligibility to be on the 2024 ballot. Colorado said he was ineligible because of the 14th amendment and his role in the insurrection.

I am not discussing the merits of the case.

Some people are mad at Colorado because whatever the court decides will cause a lot of anger on the losing side. I don’t think worrying about possible violence by the Trump cult should influence the decision. The decision will be seen as political especially if the Trump-appointed judges rule in favor of him. As far as I’m concerned, the court destroyed their credibility with the Bush vs, Gore decision in 2000. Whatever happens will increase distrust in and acceptance of the 2024 election results.

The anger should be directed at Trump, not Colorado, If Trump hadn’t incited an insurrection, we wouldn’t be at this point.

Republicans are already skeptical about 2024 election results

The 2024 election will be a fiasco.

Thought 2020 fraud conspiracies lacked evidence (since they did)? Well, Republicans already think *2024*’s results won’t be credible. https://t.co/zrOLgsKjZj pic.twitter.com/kxERQXDwcA

I agree with Trump on this one – CNN is doing the town hall for ratings

It’s a terrible idea

Do you think Trump would have agreed to a town hall of these topics were included? This is a desperate effort by CNN to regain ratings. They need Trump more than Trump needs CNN.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 10, 2023

It will be good for CNN ratings which is all they care about. People will be curious to see how Trump and CNN handle the verdict. I won’t look – I stopped watching CNN.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 10, 2023

Do you really think Trump would agree to a town hall where CNN did that?
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 9, 2023

They can’t. They’ll be swept away by Trump ‘s tsunami of lies.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 9, 2023

CNN’s terrible idea to have a Donald Trump town hall

It’s a pathetic attempt to regain ratings. I say this over and over: Don’t put liars on TV.

CNN should not have a town hall with the leader of an insurrection. I bet they would have had a town hall with Jefferson Davis if they had been around in the 1860s.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 5, 2023

Trump will tell endless lies. Even real time fact checking won’t keep up with him and we don’t know if CNN will do this.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 5, 2023

The opinion CNN shouldn’t interview Donald Trump baffles me. He’s ahead in almost every primary poll by big margins. He still has a major hold on GOP. Sure, politics is ephemeral and things can change, but he’s currently the de facto leader of GOP. Seems like a worthy interview.
— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) May 5, 2023

I think this is why CNN is doing the town hall – they miss the ratings. https://t.co/v0ueHU4hE0
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 5, 2023

Even the less extremist Republicans will still wind up supporting Trump. Letting someone who incited an insurrection conduct a town hall on TV is a poor idea.
