Today, after discussing the latest developments in the ongoing media obsession over the Trump campaign, WMAL host Larry O’Connor asked listeners if the story bothered them. O’Connor asked if they were concerned over Donald Trump Jr.’s email expressing interest in a meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised to provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
One caller, Alan from Southern Maryland,” summed up so many American’s frustration with the mainstream media’s singular obsession with this story:
O’Connor: Alan in Southern Maryland, you’re on WMAL. Go Al.Alan: I’m sick of the Donald Trump stuff, all the Trump stuff. I consider myself one of the forgotten men and women. I’m worried about job creation. I’m worried about tax cuts. I need more money. I’m living paycheck to paycheck. They just cut off my cable bill. I’m rubbing two nickels together. My girl can’t find a job to help me. We’re out here struggling and these people don’t get it. I mean they really don’t get it. [Inaudible] I don’t have money. I mean, I’m cutting back on my medicine, my groceries. She can’t find a job…O’Connor: Do you feel like the President … Alan, do you feel like the President is keeping his head down and doing what he promised to do to try to help you and other Americans like you?Alan: If they let him do it and give him a chance. They are fighting him every step of the way. We need help out here. We’ve been struggling for years under Obama and he had the right message. We voted him in because of that. We need tax cuts. I need a couple of extra dollars on my paycheck every week. We need jobs. We need Trump and these liberals, the press and all this to get off that and think about us that’s out here putting our boots on everyday, getting up at four o’clock in the morning, going to work and trying to provide for our families and it’s hard. I love you Larry.O’Connor: Thank you Alan. Thanks for listening and keep the faith.
