When Was the Last Time You Went a Day Without tRump?

Can you remember a full 24 hour period when you did not mention him, think about him, read about him, or hear about him on the radio or TV?

I can't recall a full 24 hour period this happened for me over the last 2.5 years.

No internet only read my book and looked at some old people magazines. And watched movies on the airplane.

Some days when I work one of my part time jobs I never hear the news until I get home. But there is always someone who wants to talk about the orange maggot. Unless the person we work for is an orange maggot supporter then we don’t talk politics.

It's frankly insulting and a waste of the world's time having all this attention and energy focused on a racist, con man, and cheat (his longtime lawyer's words) who would probably be locked away in prison someplace if he had not inherited half a billion dollars.

Now I can take about fifteen minutes at a time. I just hang out in the lounge and look at cats the rest of the time.

I'm not blaming you. It's like this need we have, and addiction really, to stay up to date on the latest horrible thing he's done.

That, ultimately, enough of the population will have reached a point where no matter how you feel about him, you will have had enough with thinking or hearing about him every day.
