I am switching to NBC when the tRump shitshow comes on, daily. The "star" of the show ambles onto the stage as though he has the worries of the world on his shoulders. He looks freshly made up and coiffed. He STILL looks like HELL. Can't polish a turd, and he is a giant one. I even switch over to watch "Wagon Train" when he shows up. LOATHE the "man". Everyone is depressed enough, why add this reminder of who caused this giant mess by being incompetent? Failure of a president, or even a human being.

In Knoxville the local affiliates of ABC, CBS, and NBC have always had 30 minute local news, weather, sports etc at 6pm local time, then switched to the network national news at 6:30.

Today all of them interrupted Trump's presser at about 6:10 or 6:15 and never went back to it, instead providing a shortened version of the usual local news until making the usual switch to the network news at 6:30

And he remains in extreme danger of breaking his arm patting himself on the back...

The local news showed about one minute of the dog and pony show and went back to their regular program.

They left Trump reciting a list of all thirty leaders that attended in his irritating monotone. They went back to something far more important to me. Used car commercials. I am afraid that Don Almighty would have his feelings hurt.
