Trump deserves to be shunned. The public and the press should intentionally and

continuously ignore him.

How does it benefit anyone to know what he says at a press conference or in an interview? When is the last time he spoke truthfully? Does any reasonable person consider him honest, consistent and reliable?

Publicity, notoriety and the outrage of the majority are his oxygen. Shunning him and his fascistic toadies would end his power by asphyxiation.

Maybe we should decide that he just is not worthy of our passionate dislike. It is said that the opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference.

finally, we're getting a tiny hint of vaguely responsible journalism when it comes to donnie, sometimes using the word "lie" and a few outlets like cnn not always covering his every utterance live.

but it's way too little, way too late.
