and inadvertently catch a bit of the sound of his whiny voice. Actually, I wish my TV would just automatically shut itself off or switch to another channel whenever he comes on. I can't look at him either.

I cannot BELIEVE his voice will invade my space - on a device I pay for - and I have no way to stop it.

in a red hot second.

Even an attachment that would do it would go on all my TV's immediately!

Train it to recognize Trump's distinctive voice and have it output to an infrared LED that will shut the TV off, then turn it back on again after a couple of minutes.

That actually wouldn't be that hard to do.

Once you have it all figured out, you could have an embedded version made and sell it for hundreds of dollars apiece. I know I'd buy one.
