REALITY TV AT ITS FINEST!

There seems to be about 30% of Americans who will believe anything Trump says. When he is forced out they will no doubt believe he was the victim of a coup.

And he, of course, will embrace that narrative.

I'm sure that as he considers resignation vs. impeachment and conviction he will calculate whether the aggravation and indignities he would suffer with impeachment would be offset by the drama of it all.

Thirty percent is not enough to win elections.

Thirty percent is not enough to stave off impeachment.

But I imagine a Trump network with 30% viewership that gives every indication of lasting forever

(I see, 150 years from now, culture wars over whether statues of Trump belong in public squares or if they should be exiled to museums and contextualized. :-) )

That's A LOT of advertising revenue!!
