May 13, 2019 CNN anchor asks if Trump plans to give a 'foaming at the mouth' speech on July 4 and if his supporters would 'clamor for violence'
CNN just doen't get it. Bad mouthing Trump and his supporters is not the way to higher ratings, it is demonstrably the way to lower rating.

A CNN anchor wondered Monday whether President Donald Trump's planned Independence Day speech this year would be a "foaming at the mouth" speech where people in the crowd "clamor for violence." "
Not a real smart thing to say, even on CNN.

President Trump's supporters are often very fragile. There are news outlets willing to tell them just what they want to hear. This is an element that's always been with us and thankfully usually can't get much done.
I have no idea whether on any given occasion he's going to be in the mode where he reads an intelligent script slowly as if he's a hostage forced to read a statement or whether he'll do his other thing where he makes random incoherent statements guided only by immediate feedback in the form of how much he fires up the deplorables in the audience. The show is for them, not me.
