Marching orders from President Joe Biden to “lower the temperature” couldn’t even keep him in check, so it came as little surprise that the talking heads who build their programming around Trump Derangement Syndrome wasted no time reverting to propaganda and fearmongering.
This included coverage from MSNBC which appeared to go as far as to question the extent of former President Donald Trump’s wound after a would-be assassin had opened fire on the GOP leader and his supporters Saturday, killing rally-goer Corey Comperatore in the process.
“He wasn’t shot in the face enough for them, it wasn’t enough,” slammed the president’s son during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning.
Supporting Trump Jr.’s position, the co-hosts from the curvy couch aired clips from the MSNBC broadcast where former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele contended to host Ari Melber, “There are a lot of questions around that ear, and yet there’s been no response to that. Instead, just showing the image of the man coming into the hall with the wounded ear.”
“A spectacle for this candidate who we know is, by his own admission, obsessed with assorted spectacles,” Melber said. “There is a political quest here to mine and use Donald Trump’s injury, and whether his allies and Republicans or the candidate himself do that in a way that overextends their credibility, will be decided by the voters.”
Decrying the conspiratorial suggestions from the network that regularly refused to air Trump’s speeches thus preventing their audience from hearing his full remarks in context without seeking them out, Trump Jr. reminded, “48 hours ago my father was shot in the head and they, they can’t stop.”
“That’s the point. They can’t help themselves. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is real. It’s so asinine that they could say that…You see the photography at the time. There’s blood everywhere,” he said reminding everyone of the reality that his father had come within centimeters of not walking off the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The professional pundits weren’t alone in spreading a narrative that the president was somehow attempting to milk what they were seemingly downplaying as an inconsequential scratch. Joining in morbid mockery was actor Mark Hamill who was roasted for suggesting the bandage was somehow “ludicrously oversized.”

While social media tore the “Star Wars” actor apart for his trouble, Trump Jr. had no problem dismantling leftists to their faces as he previously demonstrated from the floor of the convention moments before his father officially tallied the delegates necessary to secure the presidential nomination.
When a reporter brought up the debunked “kids in cages” claim, the former first son fired back about the origin of the child separation policy and asked, “You mean the Obama administration?”
“You know they didn’t do that, sir,” tried the reporter. “Will there be a second family separation policy?”
In response, the president’s son retorted, “It’s M-S-D-N-C. So I expect nothing less from you. Clowns. You couldn’t wait. You couldn’t wait with your lies and with your nonsense. So just get outta here.”
