Why do people subject themselves to Trump's daily love-himself-fest?

I don't understand why people do that to themselves. You already know what he's going to say, you know that he's going to lie, you know that he's going to say a bunch of things that will have to be "interpreted" by his staff later.

It's always the same thing, and yet:

1) People seem to watch it every day.

2) People seem surprised when he does all of the above. Again. And again. And again.

Just curious, are you masochists or something?

That being said, I'm glad someone does because I can then avoid it completely and just get a summary here. Though, it sounds like Groundhog Day.

They end up playing clips of it which is bad enough. Don't need to listen to his BS though

I change the channel the instant his face or voice comes over my TV. Much better for my mental health that way.

I haven't watched him all week. Quit abou the middle of last week. I thought I heard that NBC and CNN were going to stop showing it but I guess they still are.

I can't believe it's still going on. BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Trying to avoid reading threads about it, because I've lost interest.
