I haven’t found any reliable analysis of the percentage of time CNN and MSNBC spend condemning Trump compared with his Republican and Supreme Court conspirators. So I asked ChatGPT to build a model and answer the question. 

Their findings were: 

• CNN spent 70-75% criticizing Trump, 20-25% criticizing his obedient Republicans and 5-10% criticizing the Trump-devoted Supreme Court majority.

• MSNBC spent 70-80% criticizing Trump, 15-20% criticizing his obedient Republicans and 5-10% criticizing the Trump-devoted Supreme Court majority.

TRUMP’S OBEDIENT REPUBLICANS
They are the only elected officials who could have stopped Trump from undermining our government. They refused, and they: 

• Confirmed the most dangerous and unqualified cabinet in our history. 

• Voted for Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax cut which cuts Medicare and Medicaid to replace the trillions in lost tax revenue.

• Watched on bended knee as Trump spent nearly $1billion of taxpayers’ money to deface iconic landmarks that glorify him while wealth inequality hit its widest gap in more than 3 decades. 

• Did nothing as Trump destroyed America’s military and trade relationships with, and the trust and respect of our closest allies. 

• Did nothing as Trump favored Putin over Zalensky, likely motivating Putin to invade NATO members. 

• Risked what Trump could do when he’s derailed by who-knows-what or by revenge against those who thwart him – think Iran. It took General Milley to stop him from using the country’s nuclear arsenal during the last month of his first presidency. There will be no General Milley to stop him next time.

Indeed, Republicans are more to blame than Trump for his march towards dictatorship. Trump’s completely untethered from reality. He checks all the boxes that mental health professionals’ use to diagnose a sociopath. He: 

• Is incapable of experiencing guilt, shame, remorse, or empathy. 
• Behaves aggressively, verbally attacks his critics and won’t admit mistakes. 
• Intimidates and threatens in order to maintain control, 
• Disregards rulings and laws, 
• Has difficulty controlling impulses, 
• Acts without considering the consequences, and
• His delusions become his realities but nightmares for others.

Congressional Republicans are, at least, rational and know better, but they’ve checked their spines at the door to avoid Trump’s endorsement of a primary challenger.

THE SUPREME COURT MAJORITY
The six Trump-favoring Republicans to the Supreme Court Justices cut him loose from the Constitution and the rule of law to elevate their own politics, ideologies and loyalties over their oaths to interpret the Constitution fairly and without favoring any person. They:

• In violation of clear bipartisan legislation, they let Trump replace Democratic members of executive agencies created by Congress with Republicans in order to bring the agencies under Trump’s control.

• Gave Trump immunity beyond what’s provided by the Constitution.

• Delayed Trump’s criminal prosecution stemming from the January 6, attack on the Capitol until after the 2020 election so voters wouldn’t know if they’d be voting for a convicted felon. In contrast, the Supreme Court took just 16 days to decide Nixon wasn’t immune and one day to decide Bush v. Gore, giving the Presidency to Republican George W. Bush.

• The Court stayed three lower court injunctions of a Trump executive order as unconstitutional. At that time, injunctions prohibited unconstitutional behavior anywhere in the United States. No more. The majority limited their scope to parties covered by the litigation. 

• The Supreme Court granted many Trump requests to stay injunctions against him, which allowed him to violate the Constitution and laws until decisions on the merits were reached. Top of Form

The last and only way to restore integrity to the Supreme Court and Congress is to replace Republicans enslaved by Trump with Republicans not so enslaved, or with Democrats. Then it will take removing corrupt and flagrantly biased Justices and President Trump. I know it’s beyond drastic, but so is a nation on the brink of collapse.

Please don’t default to an oh-that-will-never-happen denial. It is happening now. Trump has:

• Paused all military aid to Ukraine  and the intelligence that helped it block incoming missile and drone attacks and target Russia’s invading forces. He also paused delivery of the equipment that enabled Ukrainian strikes into Russia. 

• Excluded Zelensky from peace talks with Putin and warned  Zelensky that he either takes their deal, or “the U.S. is out.”

• Agreed with Putin that any peace deal would: require European security to be funded  and defended only by Europe and not the United States; require the demilitarization of Ukraine; prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO and regaining any territory lost during the war; and require new elections enabling Putin to install a puppet government;

• Weakened America’s global influence and military might by suspending foreign aid that builds critical allies and spreads America’s influence and military might, including military basis, throughout the world.

• Exposed the identities of American operatives who monitor adversaries like Russia and China. Now, allies no longer provide American intelligence agencies with information that helps it prevent international aggression such as cyber-attacks.

• Left Russia off his tariff list.

All this is enabling a Putin victory in Ukraine and allowing Putin to  invade European NATO  to fulfill his dream of  a Russian-led Eurasian empire. The invasions would subject Europe to bullying by Putin and Trump. Trump’s agreement not to defend or finance Europe’s security could put America on Russia’s side in a war against Europe.

Republicans must stop Trump’s weakening of America’s global influence, its military might and his trashing our allies’ trust in America and its electorate, even if it takes impeachment. But sadly, they lack the spine to confront Trump. If they don’t find the courage, they will be responsible for helping one man effortlessly shatter what America has built.
