so its best to avoid stress, and Trump/repukes are one massive dose of stress.

Clinical studies have shown that correct use of Remotium can affect your brain chemistry. But please administer carefully. Side effects such as rage, anger, sorrow, tears, and hysteria have been observed. Abuse can lead to property damage and in severe cases, severe brain damage. Do not mix Remotium with Glock 19, as results can be fatal. Do not consume alcohol or cannabinoid substances when on Remotium, as this may increase side effects. If not combined with physical controls on media device, Remotium can lead to extended episodes of inactivity, leading to overeating and obesity.

"Ask your Repair Technician if Remotium is right for you."

My other answer is: The Dog. When he comes on, time to take her out for a walk. The crap that comes out of her is infinitely preferable than the crap that comes out of his mouth.

I avoid listening​ to his speeches as much as possible. Wellbutrin has helped me from totally spiraling into deep depression since the election.

I had to fast forward a number of times. It was so agonizingly slow and pointless. Just a bunch of bullshit, basically. I would rather read a transcript.

to see his ugly mug 24/7 on the teevee. At work I have to deal with a Trumpette who wears his image on a teeshirt every freakign day. She is knee deep in the muck.

I think if someone wants to listen to a speech, without getting worked up, have it on as background noise. I find no reason to watch his speeches. However, when I babysit my granddaughter, I will have the news on, and they show clips of his speeches. My granddaughter keeps me distracted enough so it doesn't get to me.

The real problem isn't a Trump speech. The problem is dealing with Trump himself, the Republicans in Congress and the RWNJs running the State of Texas. I don't have an answer for that.

Both are good for me and cheaper than pills. I eat a lot of fruit as well...and sometimes chocolates
