I don't know about anyone else but I could live the rest of my life

[MIButterfly]

without ever seeing or listening to DJT ever again. I try my best to avoid it at all costs but sometimes it happens unexpectedly and then I get disgusted. Even during President Biden's term, we had to hear about him every damn day without fail. What is it about him? What's so special about that abomination that we have to hear about every little thing he says and does? You tell me because I'm at a complete and total loss.

I know he's the president but the amount of coverage, even when he wasn't president, is too much.

Enough already! There have been 11 years of this nonsense (I'm trying to keep it clean). I can't believe that I have to spend my so-called "golden years" like this. All I want to do is live in peace with my cats.

[Attilatheblond]

1. After that day at the UN, one has to figure even escalators are fed up with him

[SheltieLover]

2. I do my best to do just that!

Cannot stand the sight, sound, or even thought of the ruskie ASSet.

[NJCher]

31. But you should

Let people know you don’t watch tv. This is the best way. Do not even let the image into your house.

I watch ms now news shows but I watch them on delay. That way I can FF through any appearances of the orange slob.

I’d discard it altogether but I love Rachel’s round up of the protests way too much.

[SheltieLover]

35. I've not had any tv service for nearly 15 yrs.

Zero tolerance for idiots & liars.

[fierywoman]

44. Me neither!

[SheltieLover]

45. Great minds ...

I prefer to read news.

[fierywoman]

46. (I thought the same thing as I wrote it!) ;-)))

[SheltieLover]

47. Lol

They always pad their stories. So much so that I've come to scroll to end of articles.

Like reading research, skip to the conclusions.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Money and privilege make the loudest noise

The world runs on money

[Skittles]

4. I HEAR YOU

if you want in any way to keep up with the news you CANNOT avoid seeing or hearing or reading about that fascist assclown, all the while knowing EXACTLY how it would be reported if a Dem president behave like that - ESPECIALLY a woman / POC

[dlilafae]

5. Spontaneous combustion

works for me. There must be an end timer on his lies. You know, he hits 2 mil, and ...

[hunter]

6. His voice creeps me out.

I don't watch any television news or opinion so I never hear him there, but he's so often in the news of our local public radio station that I've been avoiding it.

If it was up to me, and I ran a radio or television station, I'd replace his voice with the quacking of an angry duck.

[Mysterian]

7. It's mind boggling that anyone would want the obvious con-man as a leader

Humans simply are not very intelligent as a species.

[Cirsium]

8. Every day

Over a decade dominated by that damaged and dangerous individual.

[Orrex]

9. I'd kind of like to hear him shrieking in agony every second for the next few years

But, short of that, I'd be content simply never to see or hear him again.

[state of stupid]

10. I do my best to change the channel whenever anybody in his administration comes on.

Of course, I do that pretty much when any R comes on

[Hope22]

11. He was also the mouth piece for the Birthers too!

What a miserable piece of $#it that was! The man is well past his shelf life for politics!!

[BurnDoubt]

12. I hit the "ditto" button twice.

[wendyb-NC]

13. I know exactly what you are saying

I had too much of him, when I heard him say, "Russia if you're listening ...".

[Betty Boom]

14. The sound of his voice makes my skin crawl

I can only listen to about two or three minutes. If I really have to know what’s going on I listen with closed captioning on.

[MIButterfly]

16. Everything about him is creepy.

His face; his voice; that stupid accordian thing he does with hands; his make-up; his hair; the way he "dances"; the pose he makes with his nose tilted up when he thinks he's said something profound; etc. It all makes my skin crawl.

[HeartsCanHope]

30. The weird sniffing thing, too! He just makes my skin crawl!

[choie]

15. AMEN!

[KatjeD]

17. Until he is imprisoned, dead, or in hell, he's our problem

I'm sorry you don't want to hear anything about him, but for heaven's sake, CARE ENOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION! Every damn day he or his minions are breaking something this nation once held valuable, or inflicting deliberate cruelty on our marginalized neighbors, or putting us in the crosshairs of our enemies. Do you honestly think avoidance is the best policy? WE NEED YOU TO STEP UP, SPEAK OUT, FIGHT BACK! Our democracy is not a spectator sport, tucked away in some closet until Election Day. If you insist on ignoring the many, many, many criminal and corrupt activities of this evil man "because you are sick of him," sorry. We're sick to death of him too, but we are going to continue to hear him, out him, condemn him, and DESTROY him at every opportunity. There are too many dunces not paying attention already. WAKE UP!

[luv2fly]

23. Not wanting to hear/see him does not equate to choosing ignorance

Few of us want to hear the orange wannabe warlord or see his stupid face. That doesn't mean we aren't paying attention.

Couching your comments in your version of patriotism doesn't change the fact that you missed the mark.

Geez.

[MIButterfly]

24. Thank you, luv2fly!

I appreciate it.

[luv2fly]

25. I suspect almost NONE of us want to look at the orange ignoramus

But the media loves him because he is outrageous and that produces clicks.

He's disgusting. Not that I have an opinion mind you... 😉

[pazzyanne]

43. Agree, KatjeD

As my Grandfather, who fought in WWI, always said "Know your enemy."

[Grim Chieftain]

18. I could not agree more

There are certain news websites that I cannot visit anymore because his face is plastered all over them. His face, and the sound of his voice make me furious. He is a cancer on our country and our democracy.

[lame54]

19. That's not up to you...

Like Hitler you'll hear his name, see him portrayed in films, written about jn books, erc. for the next 100++ years

Foir the next 20 it will be daily

[CaptainTruth]

20. I can't stand him. He's utterly sick & disgusting.

[UTUSN]

21. 79 here & hoping to live to see him gone.

[Ilikepurple]

52. I'm a bit younger, but I'm guessing that I'm not the only one here that shares that sentiment.

I also want to outlive his legacy, including the political relevance of his allies and family.

[DFW]

22. One of the perks about living in Europe

And even here, there’s still too much of him.

[rampartd]

26. Psalm 109:13,

Psalm 109:13, "May his end be to be cut off; in another generation may his name be blotted out."

it must have been yul brynner as pharoh

[Ray Bruns]

27. This is why remotes come with a "last" channel button.

Quick and effective

[SergeStorms]

28. And have "mute" buttons.

I use mine quite frequently, not only when the Big Orange Fascist Pig starts flapping his gums, but during the ubiquitous commercial "breaks" during programs as well. My ears are deathly allergic to stupidity. 😉

[NJCher]

33. Mute every commercial

I have, for years. It’s second nature now. I’m always doing something else while I watch TV anyway.

[shanti]

50. As do I

However, Sling has discovered a workaround by running a visual ad if you pause anything. Insidious.

[SergeStorms]

57. Exactly

I won't even look at the TV if his picture is on the screen.

I haven't heard tRump's voice or seen his face since 2016. 😉

[Ruby the Liberal]

29. Click rates and ad revenue

No question the clown show increased revenue for the "news" outlets - or they wouldn't have both-sides it to see how long they could keep profiting from it.

Unless he dies in office, I have a feeling that this is what we can expect until the day he does enter the special circle of hell that awaits him.

[JohnnyRingo]

32. He just makes more noise than past presidents.

It's not that the media is paying closer attention to him, it's the firehose of threats, vanity tweets, and general nonsense that emanates from this White House every day.

Presidents past would call reporters to a press-con with news while this one uses social media to blast out anything that pops into his head... for better or worse.

[Greybnk48]

34. I can barely tolerate having to look at that ugly pedo-hog every

goddamn day no matter how hard you work at avoiding seeing him or hearing his slurry, drugged up voice.

I have a visceral reaction to him now that makes me instantly furious. I think it's actually hate.

[EuterpeThelo]

36. Well said

and I share your sentiments completely. I have to turn the TV off whenever his face or voice pops up because I worry it's going to make me literally stroke out if I keep having to watch or listen to him.

[Marvin Jones]

37. Indeed

Ditto. Reading the news is bad enough. But seeing his face and listening to his voice... Oh, my God.

[Clouds Passing]

38. The day when the T word is the worst of the worst curse word, an insult of epicness.

[lastlib]

40. At my house the name equates to the dirty business in the toilet.

"Dump a trump" is the operative euphemism for what the rest of the world calls "taking a shit." The toilet is the "trump dump."

[TBF]

39. I'm with you - to the extent that even when I'm watching Substack

if the "show" has a lot of clips of Donald Trump on it, I tend to shut it off. It has been worse lately because not only is he toxic, but he seems to be showing signs of dementia. I'm getting older, too, and hope my family takes care of me at that age - finds a nice nurse to come in and help. Certainly, he should not be anywhere near nuclear launch codes or anything else that is important.

[OGBuzz]

41. that two fisted jagoff dance to YMCA always makes me run for the remote....

with all the women in his family and in his cult you'd think somebody would have told him by now. Or are they all feeding him with b.s. about how sexy and presidential he looks?

[kimbutgar]

42. I can't even write the 🍊🐖💩's name and can only last a minute listening to him

Because I don’t want to hurt my brain cells.

I am ashamed of my country that he was allowed to be president again! And embarrassed to be an American now.

[LiberalLovinLug]

48. "I can't believe that I have to spend my so-called "golden years" like this"

SAME HERE!
I broke down when he won again. Instead of watching new trials prosecuting Trump with Jack Smith at the helm, and the first female President in charge....
I have to spend my twilight years dealing with a greedy immoral psychopath destroying the world.

[ShazzieB]

49. The ONLY time I don't mind hearing Trump's voice is in Mary Trump's videos.

She (or a member of her staff) alters Trump's voice in any clips of him that are used in her videos, so that he sounds like he just took a hit off of a helium balloon. It's pretty hilarious.

[MIButterfly]

54. I will have to check that out!

Thank you, ShazzieB!

[ShazzieB]

58. Thanks...but I may have misspoken!

I'm not sure they're doing it anymore.

I was going to try posting an example, but all the recent ones I checked have his unaltered voice. I'm thinking he may have threatened a lawsuit or something.

When I first started watching her videos, they all had the "helium" voice. I don't know if they've gone back and changed all of them and don't have time to check right now. But if he played the lawsuit card as I suspect, I imagine they may have had to, dadblast it.

It was really fun while it lasted!

[MIButterfly]

59. Oh well, thanks anyway!

[ForgedCrank]

51. It would

be nice if there was a forum for everything Trump instead of GD being flooded with it 24/7

[mjvpi]

53. His voice and mannerisms when he's reading off of a teleprompter makes me want to slap him.

Turn to the weather channel.

[Pacifist Patriot]

56. I felt like that in 1987

[EndlessMaze]

60. I watched nearly an hour of the State of the Union.

I still feel icky all over from it, and I'll never watch the orange anus more than a few seconds ever again!
