Sometimes — well, a lot of times — cable news networks have to fill air time. Like when they have to wait for President Obama to make a statement. And especially when those remarks are pushed back 30 minutes.
Enter Donald Trump, cable news’ recent favorite financial analyst. While America waited for Obama to speak on Monday, as stock markets were cratering, Trump — who, for a successful business mogul, seems to have a remarkable amount of free time to do interviews — weighed in on everything from the United States’ debt deal (which he says shows a lack of leadership), the president (whom Trump said earlier he is still no fan of) and China (America’s “enemy”).
“What a terrible time it is for this country,” Trump said. “It’s just bad news after bad news. … You could just go story after story. Everything bad. Nothing good.”
And thanks to that 30-minute delay, Trump had plenty of time to go on and on. And on.
