I refuse to watch the pervert, otherwise I would be popping an extra blood pressure pill. What's your survival secret or magic pill to take?

(10,301 posts)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."

(25,151 posts)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.
