I've got it! Trump is the noise machine that is messing up the noise machine on the right.

That is why they hate him so much. He gets air time whenever he wants. He cuts through their noise and empathizes with the base. The Republican establishment can't get its' message out. Now they know how it feels.

How do the news programs fund themselves?

Is it purely commercials?

Is someone like Trump paying for TV time to broadcast his rallies?

There was a term that I can't think of, but basically it was describing what appears as a news piece, but in reality is someone that has paid for that time.
