Is Donald Trump A Hypocrite?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Yes, he spurned the despicable Australian Murdochs' Fox News[2] on the eve of his arrest and now-infamous mugshot in Georgia[3], and racked up "views" that far surpassed Fox's ratings.[4].  But by choosing Elon Musk's equally-odious Twitter—or "X" as it is called now—it is arguable that Trump betrayed his loyal supporters nationwide.[5]

Indeed, it is submitted that Tucker Carlson—who interviewed the former President—has "sold his soul to the Devil" by using Twitter/X as his platform of choice, after the Murdochs "axed" him.  At least in the case of our former President, he had a logical and far-better choice: the Right Side Broadcasting Network.[6]

RSBN has covered Trump’s rallies and speeches almost from Day One, when his quest for the presidency began in 2016.  They have done a very professional and terrific job of keeping the Trump/MAGA faithful up to date and informed.  Indeed, if Trump is reelected in 2024, it can be argued that RSBN kept his supporters energized and motivated, which resulted in his victory.  Historically, RSBN's importance cannot be underestimated.

Instead of rewarding loyalty, Trump followed Carlson "into the abyss" by choosing Twitter/X as his platform of choice.  Also, despite being a billionaire, he keeps soliciting monies from his supporters to cover his legal bills, all the while that others in his "entourage" struggle to pay theirs.  Hypocrisy has its limits.
