I don't want to, but I just can't stop watching this trainwreck

Whenever I have a spare moment these days i am drawn to the internet to check and see what the latest outrage from Trump is.
Who is he battling and belittling today?
What slight has he blown way out of proportion.
What is his crazy staff saying?
What wild lies will be pushed next?


maybe these trains should say "Trump" and "Republicans"

Maybe I just have too much time on my hands these days, but I am always expecting another shoe to drop. I think the media teases us with possible developments.... and we take their bait!

Not much longer, rurallib! LOL

I'm suffering from the same problem, rurallib. And that each Trumpian outrage is more intense than the last just fuels my need to see and hear more.

The worst part of it is, I know there's more and much worse to come. I know there's going to be another tape where Donald Trump disparages African-Americans. I know there's going to be another woman, like Alicia Machado, who will step forward with her own experiences with this despicable man. I know there's going to be another business associate with their own story about The Donald's self-serving and dishonest business practices. I know there's going to be another story either this week or next. You know it, too.

I've been subjected to this cretin through the New York tabloids since the 1980's and my disgust and disdain for him has only increased in that time. It's magnificently gratifying to watch him self-immolate before the entire world. As an added bonus, he's taking much of the GOP with him!
