Democrats have the capacity to turn just about any bit of Trump insanity - like today's ultra-racist press conference - into a media frenzy. The kind of frenzy that could put Trump's unfitness front and center and seriously hurt him. They just don't want to do the things that would accomplish this.

And as we saw during post-debate "Biden is old", the MSM could too. There could be daily 72-point headlines touting Trump's combination of laziness, inattention, conspiracy-mindedness, lawbreaking, and casual racism.
They proved they don't need a specific news hook.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY NOT
I do not get it. They have seen this work for the Republicans for decades. Why don't they want to do it?!
Incompetent losers.
Will MSM talking heads protest? Sure, use the controversy.
CNN will be horrified and call you a conspiracy theorist but everyone hates CNN.
and they should say that Trump has his own DEI hiring policies-- "Drunks and Entitled Incompetents" (wish I'd come up with that) who were in charge when the crash happened.
Was Hegseth drinking when this happened?
When is Trump going to apologize to Michael Whitaker?
Most of it won't stick - that doesn't matter. But you chum the waters, and if something *does* happen, it can be explosive.
"Trump guts airline safety agency one week before deadly Potomac crash."
Instead, now Trump has taken it and made it about DEI. Opportunity lost. (Or rather given away)
What the hell is going on?
Clarifies it for a lot of people
