Would someone please tell MSNBC and CNN

We don't waste our time watching that thing tRUMP does e v e r y d a y. I have no idea how members of the press can sit there and listen to that garbage. I have to admit if he pranced around in a pink tutu and green tights, it would get my interest for a couple minutes. Nah, just kidding.
MSNBC and CNN… you put him on and I change stations. If he's on, I am watching something else. Members of the press, get up and leave. None of us care what comes out of his mouth. It's a lie anyway.

If they dressed Trump up in an XXX-L clown suit with makeup and he ran around dodging pies that the press were supplied with to throw, that would be rather cathartic. Oh, maybe the staff could shoot soda water at him for those old-style bottles?

Nothing sadder than a clown without the outfit and trappings, especially during a serious emergency.

a while ago. They have put him on a sub channel or Facebook streaming.

I think people could use their own discretion and turn off the TV as well. Have we all forgotten that remotes have an off switch?

seems to be more informative with less hyperbole and commercials (haven't seen the my pillow ass once)...
