Screaming into the ether again. I hate the world Trump, his supporters, and his detractors have created. You think he's easy to ignore, but he's not. He's everywhere. No news program or social media website is immune. It's always Trump, Trump, TRRUUUUUUUUMMP! The Trump Twitter story is on CNN, it's on Fox, it's on NPR, and it's on OAN. It's all over Twitter, Facebook, C-D, and Reddit. I walk into a bookstore or a library, and books about Trump are displayed right inside the door. He is everywhere! He's inescapable!

How? How do you manage that? I can't even enter a public library without seeing a book about Trump on display with the rest of the latest non-fiction.

Stay off social media and the news, or simply turn the channel when he’s on…the more Dems obsess over him the more he’ll be seen and talked about. They’re the ones with the ongoing and neverending goosechase.

So....become a hermit. I suppose that really is the best solution. The idea has a precedent...

GLOUSTER, Ohio — At first, the experiment didn’t have a name.

Right after the election, Erik Hagerman decided he’d take a break from reading about the hoopla of politics.

Donald Trump’s victory shook him. Badly. And so Mr. Hagerman developed his own eccentric experiment, one that was part silent protest, part coping mechanism, part extreme self-care plan.

He swore that he would avoid learning about anything that happened to America after Nov. 8, 2016.

“It was draconian and complete,” he said. “It’s not like I wanted to just steer away from Trump or shift the conversation. It was like I was a vampire and any photon of Trump would turn me to dust.”

sounds like a really messed up day and I hope you can find some peace soon. Hey, venting on the internet is a good way to burn off some steam!

I think it would be great if Trump came back to Twitter. Twitter was a direct way for Trump to float his ideas and feelings out to the masses and avoid the media that would put their own twist on his words and fill in the blanks with their own negative spin.



The only thing is though Trump really got himself into trouble on Twitter sometimes and the Left capitalized on it so that is a tough spot. Does he rejoin or does he stay away? If he does plan on running for office again I think he needs to join the platform but if not then why bother?

He'll get back on Twitter and continue to make a fool of himself and play the victim. Did you read his Mothers Day message. Thats vindictiveness and revenge just waiting to happen.

Elon said Trump should have been suspended for a period of time, not banned for life.

So assuming he restores Trump's account, we will see how long it takes until Trump does something to get himself suspended. I wonder how often he will get himself suspended as time goes on. He does have a habit of shooting himself in the foot


Fun times ahead. Get out the popcorn.
