I'm actually rather glad I gave up reading Trump tweets for Lent.

I think waking up today and finding out the man was posting about how airplanes are too complex (or whatever the hell he was trying to say) would have been one headache more than necessary for me.

1. You're supposed to give up something you *like,* not something disgusting.

Giving up reading Trump tweets would be like me giving up eating Brussels sprouts instead of chocolate.

3. Technically, the way I'm taught it's supposed to be whatever bad habit is keeping you down.

Say for example, you give up Starbucks because that money for coffee could be going for other, better things.

I guess I chose Trump tweets because my mind got an odd fix every time I read whatever insane ramblings he spewed out, and I just found myself scratching my head as to what sort of situation we were in. But dwelling on that isn't the best thing for my health, so.....


I also gave up browsing on my phone.

2. I'm glad that I never started reading them.

Having to hear about them second-hand is bad enough.
