| 0:00.0 | This is Donald Trump's world and we're just living in it. |
| 0:03.2 | And I'm not saying that to praise the president, I'm saying it because every day when I look to politics to track how the 2020 race is going, |
| 0:10.9 | what's the big news? What do we get? Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, nonstop all day, every day. And the media knows it. |
| 0:18.4 | They know that Trump does things to distract us, that they just can't quit. They love it too much. |
| 0:24.0 | There's the Trump bump and there's Trump derangement syndrome. They just won't stop. |
| 0:30.0 | So every day, I will pop up these various political websites. I will look to the top trending news. |
| 0:35.2 | And it's just Trump all day, nonstop. |
| 0:39.0 | Trump won partly because he was able to dominate the media in 2016. This was acknowledged by professors, by journalists, |
| 0:45.8 | by so many people, by activists, by the Democrats. Yet even still with so many journalists outlets opposing the president, |
| 0:54.0 | they refuse to acknowledge the reality. Now it is quite annoying when these sites automatically refresh themselves, but let's do this. |
| 1:02.4 | I just did a search for the word Trump. Politico. Now I admit, Politico is a political website meant to talk about top issues. |
| 1:10.5 | And we can see 53 instances of the word Trump appearing on their front page. Certainly there are other political things to talk about right now. |
| 1:19.3 | It's a death spiral. It is a cycle that can never end. I'm talking about Trump in a video about why we talk about Trump too much. |
| 1:27.6 | I was looking through my YouTube channel, this one. And I was like, man, I have a lot of pictures of Trump. |
| 1:33.4 | Why is that? And then I realized what was happening to me was that when I was looking for the big trending stories, it was Trump. |
| 1:40.7 | And so I'd say something like, okay, well, here's a story. Let's cover it. |
| 1:43.9 | Let's talk about this issue. What does it mean? Why are people? I want to dissect this issue. |
| 1:47.7 | And in the end, once again, I created more Trump content and everyone is trapped in this cycle. And Trump knows it. |
| 1:55.0 | It's part of his strategy. He distracts the press, the press acknowledges it, and they play the game. |
| 2:00.7 | So I do try my best to make sure I'm tackling stories that aren't just about Trump. |
| 2:06.8 | Right, because the other day, a report was released showing that Facebook has made changes because, yeah, there was a bias against conservatives. |
| 2:15.1 | But those Trump stories never end. Today, the big story that's trending on Twitter, Joe Walsh may run against the president. |
