Or maybe completely sick of Dump?
I long for the good old days when we could ignore "The Apprentice." Now it's all Dump, all the time.

If you don't want to listen to him, change the channel or whatever is necessary to cut him off. I manage to avoid him probably 99% of the time, though I also don't watch much cable news, etc.

I did just shut off Chuck Toad. I won't watch that douche.

(15,805 posts)Trumps use of a stilted rhetorical device in speaking of himself in the third person, really sets my nerves on edge. He does it a lot, especially when he's stressed out by getting caught in some sort of trumpian skuldduggery, then he starts referring to himself by his own name.
People who use this bizarre speach pattern believe that the resulting quotes around their name in print gives them an aire of credibility, it also serves as a method of spreading propaganda.

(28,340 posts)much notice was taken of how often he used the words "I" and "me" in his campaign speeches. This is back when they were still attempting to pretend he isn't an exclusively self-centered narcissistic toddler-man.
Remember, if you will, when he babbled constantly about how his campaign was "a movement."

I mute or fast forward him when he's on film speaking, always.
