Like you, I can't stand the sight or sound of tRump, so for a long time I've been going to the BBC and Guardian in the UK for my coffee-time news. There are some good Canadian, French and German sites, too.

Their editorial content is excellent and the travel sections always have some soothing and interesting reads.

For a refreshing break, see:

Good luck, and you have plenty of company here with that same problem.
