Allow us to introduce these images by simply reminding you of what we said months and months ago when “the Trump train” started to go off the rails in earnest:
Feel free to go down with the ship, but don’t delude yourself into thinking this ship isn’t sinking.

They will lose any semblance of legitimacy they had and their readership will be reduced to the basest of the base – to the least common denominator.
