Trump is great for readership. It’s guaranteed he’ll do something controversial and horrific pretty much every single day, pulling in all kinds of readers who stay engaged with doom scrolling and trolling comments. Even the ones who hate Trump still kinda want him around like poking at a bruise or picking a scab.
I wonder if they have actual numbers to prove it for the four years Trump was in office. Many people were probably suffering from news fatigue, because it was like a goddamn daily/weekly thing of him saying/doing something stupid/controversial for FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT. Literally every single goddamn day I would look at the TV or computer screen like, “What the fuck?” Shitty for the world, but I wonder if it was a Golden Age for news media outlets.
