Donald Trump may have been indicted (again) Wednesday night for conspiring to nullify a United States election, but that wasn't going to stop him from having a nice dinner. And it wasn't enough to stop his dinner guests from showing up to fete him, either. Our national Trump whisperers report that his Bedminster dinner guests last night were Fox News president Jay Wallace and network CEO Suzanne Scott, and they were there to beg Trump, once again, to come on their shitty lie-promoting network for their Republican presidential primary debate.
Because that's what you do when a political figure faces four felony counts of conspiring to overthrow the elected United States government: You slither over to his house and plead for the head crook to come to your network to put on a show.
For context, Trump has been threatening to skip the first Republican primary debate because it's hosted by Fox News, and in the violence-provoking seditious traitor's mind Fox has not been deferential enough to him and his various promoted conspiracy theories. Even worse, Trump thinks that Fox has been too nice to his main rival, stale block of cheese Ron DeSantis, and because Trump knows the secret of manipulating the nation's media is to simply threaten to deny them access to his glorious self, his solution to both problems is to announce that he's only going to show up for debates on networks that do bend their coverage in ways he likes.
