routine. As with his Oval Office farce, I will wait for the response and hope that, once again, it gets more viewers than Trump's nonsense. I care about the ratings only because that is one way I can participate in rejecting Trump in a way he will notice.

(45,355 posts)obligated to watch or listen to that clown. Our media is sufficient to translate his nonsensical babbling and tantrums for us to chuckle over. As for Trumpy's planning, when has that EVER happened?

(5,914 posts)Listening to him for more than a few seconds is physically painful to me. He makes my brain bleed.
FSogol
(45,355 posts)watches him like a train wreck or tragic sob story. "But FSogol," she'll say, "his father never loved him and his hands are really small. That's why he's a major asshole."
If I hear more than a few words from him and can't change the channel, I reach for the scotch.

(22,993 posts)I will not watch him, that's just a blanket statement. If he's on tv and the clip is more than a min. I cut to a different channel until he shuts up his ugly lying orange assmouth. I will not sit and watch him defame America and my party and praise PUtin and ugh, his lying racist rants are just too stupid and ugly to tolerate. My husband watches because he thinks he should, same as I was with Bush. However, drumpf takes lying and animosity to a new level and I won't give him the benefit of my watching him - ever. I will contribute to the stats he hates when Dems gets more viewers in their response than he does with his anti-America lies.
Bush was he wasn't a Russian asset.
He was a 1%er oligarch and ruled that way but he wasn't about hurting America and helping Russia or SA or Israel.

(63,650 posts)his ratings no one would watch it, just like his whatever last week.
Everyone watched the response from Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi instead.
