I would disagree with that. He's challenged often enough, and astutely too. But how can you possibly hope to get a coherent discussion with someone so blinded and deluded?

And the media that does challenge his narrative is ignored by his fan base.

Well, yeah, because they know they've got nothing other than shouting "MAGA".
Pretty much the US equivalent of Brexiteers who say "You lost, get over it."

I watched, I think on PBS, another documentary on Mussolini.
They loved him too. Scary!

This is why he doesn;t want to take part in a debate with rules
If he is in a debate he just wants to rant and talk over people - and stalk around like he did with Hilary
But no-one - especially any Democrats - will allow that - they will be ready for him and counter it

There is no lack of motivation, however, before, during and after his last presidency they didn't find an answer on how to challenge him and they still haven't found an effective way.

More fallout from Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. - Rudi Giuliani, Trump sidekick, indicted co-conspirator and formerly "America's Mayor", has had a default judgment made against him in a defamation lawsuit brought against him by two Georgia election workers, whom he pilloried on numerous occasions.
In short, he dragged his heels with the proceedings and then around 6 weeks ago submitted to the Court a document in which appeared to admit liability, but then was stupid enough to make a podcast in which he denied admitting liability.
There could be serious sums of money at stake when the time comes for a jury to determine the damages due. The far right media channel OANN has already settled an undisclosed sum to the same election workers.

In related news it looks like Mitch McConnell has seized up again:

Not sure he should be running for another term...

There's no shame in retiring from any job through health concerns, physical or mental. It's very sad to see him continuing when he's obviously unwell.

Although the flip side is that he's only there to make sure that a Democrat doesn't get elected.

They’d get him for not rewinding a blockbuster vhs from the mid 90’s. Don’t worry about Trump, he comes out smelling of roses in the end.

When younger we get warned about 'bad influence'. You sort of feel sorry for teflon Trumps followers.

I would rather he smelt of the inside of a prison, or better still, death. But I look forward to your sentence being proved wrong.
