Well, since this is from CNN, how about this fun game: I'll pay $10,000 to anyone that finds me a positive headline about Trump that CNN has ever at any point run. Heck, not even a positive article, how about just a neutral article? An article that just neutrally says facts about some event that happened that involved Trump, without putting spin on it or telling you to think in a negative way about it. The fact that you would be extremely hard-pressed to collect the money says everything you need to know about the state of our "democracy".

These were pretty good.

I suspect that if you were actually ever intending to honor your wager you'd lose a lot of money.

How about $20k if you can find a Fox News article that has said anything positive about any Democrat whatsoever in the last 10 years.

Or maybe he was just an unusually terrible, incompetent, and offensive leader?

No, you won’t.

Here’s a neutral article, published just hours ago: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/midterm-election-resu...

(Since it’s part of their live election coverage, you’ll want to search for the headline “ Trump says he voted for DeSantis, predicts "great night" for GOP”)

Shall I expect a check, or… idk, Venmo or something?

For those who may not want to click, here’s the entire text. It’s short! And neutral:

—————

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that he voted for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, predicting a "great night" for Republicans.

"Yes, I did," Trump told reporters when asked if he cast a ballot for DeSantis outside a polling location in Palm Beach where he voted.

"I think we're going to have a very great night and it's exciting," he added.

Trump cast his ballot shortly after 11:30 a.m. ET at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, just minutes away from his Mar-a-Lago estate where he plans to watch election returns this evening with dozens of aides, allies, and local Republicans. He arrived with former first lady Melania Trump and briefly took questions outside after voting indoors.

The former president's political future may largely depend on Tuesday's midterm outcomes, as he looks for his handpicked and endorsed candidates in key federal and statewide races to prevail. Major losses for Trump-backed candidates could create obstacles for his 2024 presidential campaign, which Trump is eyeing to announce one week from today.

At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump referred to the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.”

I will pay a $1,000 for CNN video coverage of 250,000,000 Indians protesting the terrible conditions of farmers in India. They were communist mostly fighting for the same things American farmers are fighting and economically struggling with. CNN is propaganda. Hey I wanna make 10k but I will low ball people and still get same result.
