Just can't stand the spotlight being anywhere but him.

Trump the pedophile doesn't realize that if the spot light is always on him, we see every mistake.

You're absolutely right. Trump demands the spotlight at all times.

But also, I think your comment is an example of what Trump's enemies still do not understand about him.

To Donald Trump, no publicity is bad publicity.

Even if it's "bad publicity".

If the media is talking about Trump's mistakes, then Trump's minions will be all over the news defending Trump and arguing with the people attacking Trump. Trump's supporters will believe the people defending him, Trump's opponents will keep being his opponents, and moderates will dismiss the whole argument as just another political he said she said.

And Trump will be the center of the news cycle for yet another day, and become even stronger in his position as the leader of the Republican Party and the biggest celebrity in America.

Jesus fucking Christ, we had four years of the Biden administration trying to get Trump on anything they could, four years of daily headlines about Trump being accused of crimes, or being arraigned for crimes, or being arrested for crimes, and Trump went into the 2024 election more popular than he was in 2020.

If you talk about Trump, he wins.

The only way to beat Trump, as hard as it is, is to fucking ignore him and talk about what the American people actually need instead.
