It seems that people are sick of the constant Trump scandal show.
Now what does that all mean. After every indictment fewer people are going online to search Google to find news about it. Fewer people are reading articles. And fewer people are turning to the Cable News Networks for the latest news.
How do we know this? Every website tracks users who read articles. Every Google search is similarly categorized and counted. And of course, with the internet, the producers of TV shows know exactly how many people are watching at any moment. Fox News panic over the 2020 election when they knew the instant that viewers turned off the channel after the election was called for Biden.
So what does this mean for Trump? The claim that “they’re all out to get me” isn’t flying as far.
Polling has consistently shown that nearly half, a plurality, think that Trump is Guilty in the Documents case. The bad news for Trump there is that a vast majority want the trial over with before the election.
The good news for Trump is that most people think he should not go to Prison.
All that aside, what does the constant Trump Scandal news and his perpetual insults and outrage mean for the electorate? It means the same today as it did in 2020. The value of a shock jock is fleeting. After a while, nobody is shocked. They’re bored. They’re fed up with the same old nonsense.
Think of it this way. Briefly the comedian Gallagher was popular. The guy up on stage swinging a massive wooden mallet to smash fruits and vegetables on stage was new, funny, and played into the desire of many of us to do something similar. But after a while, he faded away. People got bored watching him smash Watermelons with a big maillot. It stopped being new, and became routine.
The same thing that happened to the Apollo program. Everyone and their cousins were watching Apollo 11 land on the moon. They couldn’t get enough. Viewership dropped for Apollo 12, and until the accident, nobody was really aware that Apollo 13 was in space. The News wasn’t carrying the live broadcast at all.
We’ve seen this time and time again. Public Interest wanes as time goes by. And Trump was always a one trick pony. The way things are going, Nobody is going to care if Trump is tried, convicted, or acquitted. They’ve already made up their minds. And a bare majority think he is guilty of the most recent charges.
I called this thread public losing interest in the scandals. And they are, but what it really means is that the Public is losing interest in Trump’s outrageous behavior. That’s bad news for Trump’s election plans. It means he’s going to have to run on issues and his record.
