Probably more to do with how the MSM has been praising him since he did that 180. Sheeple lapping it up. ![[image loading]](http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2017/04/13/20170417_trump_0.jpg) | ||

I seriously hope that he doesn't go treating the presidency like a reality tv show where ratings are all that matters. Warmongering is a pretty terrible thing if the other side reciprocates. | ||

Alex Jones' capability as a father seems completely irrelevant to anything that was discussed here in recent times. | ||

If the character Alex Jones plays on his show was a real person, I would not hesitate to say that person would be a poor parent. Just the same as these naturalpath types who don't let their kids go to a doctor. | ||

Trump could love Jerry Springer, but the way he conducts himself on the camera is not evaluating how suited he is as father. He could be wild, he could be caring, but the only story here is people that ally with Trump can't be treated normally. | ||

Just the same as these naturalpath types who don't let their kids go to a doctor. But that really isn't the point. No one gives a fuck whether alex jones is a good father or not. What is relevant is that he admits that he doesn't believe the shit he spouts himself, he is an actor doing performance art for gullible fools who take him seriously. So, people should really not take what he says seriously if he himself doesn't even believe it. I am not really sure who took him seriously before, but apparently a bunch of people in the US did just that, despite how ridiculously insane the stuff he spouts is. And Trump either takes him serious or uses him to peddle bullshit to gullible fools who take him seriously. None of which are things that make a good president. | ||

He can also lie and believe all the bullshit he says, which is more to the point. Alex Jones is willing to say anything, so why not just tell the court it is all an act? | ||

But if Trump was basing information and getting his news from the Jerry springer show that would be a problem. Also Jerry Springer admits his shows stupid and it's not a news show. Unfortunately their are actual people who think that Alex Jones is a reputable news source. | ||

The point of family court is not inquiring to how sincerely he holds political opinions or espouses them on his show. On April 18 2017 02:09 Karis Vas Ryaar wrote: don't think anyone's arguing that.

What is the relevance, like LL asked? Alex Jones once said that Obama was a goblin from the underworld. Like a “real one”, brimstone and all. And that is pretty time. This isn’t about his political views. Its about determining if Alex Jones has an unhinged grasp on reality and if that might be harmful to a child. You know this, but you have chosen to make the bad faith argument that it is about his political view points. | ||
