I feel bad sometimes, but I literally cannot stand to look at him or listen to him

On one hand I feel like I need to pay attention to what the asshole is doing, but I can’t stand seeing and hearing him. On the other hand he never says anything that makes sense so there is no use listening. I do read enough to get the gist of it unfortunately.

It's one of the reason evil people like him seek the spotlight. They want the approbation of people who outshine them just by their excellence...

3. I hate watching him on TV, but I am hoping for the day

that a Reporter finally does the right thing and ask him this one question.

President Trump, every day regardless of subject - there is one thing that you do, you lie. With you ever quit lying to the American people and just tell the truth about <insert subject>. The American people are just tired of your lying, you lie so much about everything, all you do is lie".

I hope that question is asked by a Reporter and that is why I listen, because one day it is going to happen.

5. Trump would call it a nasty question, accuse the reporter of working for a failing newspaper,

say the reports that he lies are fake news, then claim he's never told a lie by telling another lie.

4. I never watch him. It just feeds his ego.

He would be much better behaved of the media only showed him when he was telling the truth. He wants attention so badly he would tell the truth to get it.

And I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t even read quotes of what he says. I used to, but I can’t anymore. Now I just read posts on DU and Facebook about the things he says. I think soon I won’t even be able to do that.

My wife was not a very politically opinionated person Until tRump 💩 was selected president. Neither of us can stand to hear the f*cking idiot speak. Putin is laughing his butt off.

anything he says that I need to hear will be reported here, or thorugh someone else's voice. No need to listen to his.

11. Watching YT clips of Trevor, Stephen and Seth is the only time I watch/hear him

I avoid looking at his disgusting mug or listening to him spew his pathological narcissistic claptrap at pretty much all costs.

Unless it's on those shows, cause I know they're going to rip him, so I suck up.

IOW, don't feel bad. There's a LOT of us out there.

didn't win I proclaimed to all who know me, "I will never watch or listen to him voluntarily" and I haven't...I value what is left of my sanity.

I have to literally run for my remote control's Mute button if I have the TV on and they show a clip of that Lump while I am in another room. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me and since I am a visual person just the sight of him makes me feel like there is throw up in my mouth.

13. No need at all to feel bad.

Like the rest of the folks posting on this thread, I cannot tolerate listening to or looking at the malignant shit funnel. I have gotten so I even turn off the humor commentators. I love Trevor Noah and Steven Colbert, but even for them I just can't stay tuned in if they are running clips of Agolf Twitler.

Certainly never watch him speak. Blech. Why would anyone do that to themselves?

I try to watch the local news, but I keep the remote handy. If I hear "President Trump" and the next words are not "resigned", "collapsed", or "died", then I mute the sound. If video of him and his hideous anus mouth accompanies the story, TV goes OFF.
