ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, major newspapers... everyone... (except for the obvious)

simply ignored his ass... just quit reporting on the Donald, his tweets, his public statements, the Russia probe ( except for news from the Mueller team ), everything.

Yes, laws would change more or less silently... tax cuts for billionaires, Planned Parenthood defunding, EPA rule changes, banking regulations gone, etc... but these things happen whether reported on or not. We know that we have to take back both houses of Congress and the executive... that there are going to be literally 100s of judges that will need to be impeached, 1000s of laws and regulations re-instated and perhaps strengthened... 8 years of work for a Democratic President and Congress.

Not to mention some sort of deprogramming millions of Faux viewers to prevent this from happening again.

But for now, maybe we just ignore Trump and his insane rantings.

Mr.Bill

Now he would do whatever he had to do to get the attention he craves. And he now has the power to something very disastrous.
