Media who ‘clearly loathe’ Trump make his ‘nomination more possible

The Australian’s former media editor Darren Davidson has criticised left-wing American media for how they “clearly loathe” Donald Trump, but they make his “nomination more possible by doing that”. Trump won the Iowa Republican caucus this week, beating Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, with many major news networks refusing to air his victory speech. “Trump, in the last presidential election, got more votes– other than Biden, the victor – than anyone’s ever attracted in any presidential election, so there’s an enormous amount of Americans that supported him back then and … continue to support him,” Mr Davidson told Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton. “The actual victory speech by Trump … was quite noteworthy because it was quite restrained, measured and gracious – it was complimentary of his opponents, which is a marked departure from the way he’s been conducting himself in the past. “The other point to make as well is that they clearly loathe him, and so does Biden and the Democrats … but they actually make a Trump nomination more possible by doing that.”
