If any TV network you are watching starts showing Donald Trump live you need to change the channel [View all]

Watch a game show, an old movie on TCM, reruns of your favorite sitcom.
If you go to watch something on your DVR you still need to change the channel or it gets credit for being watched while it runs.
If the networks realize showing Trump live kills their audience they will stop and only show tape of the most stupid things he says.
So if you see something ugly and orange on your screen that isn't a Cheeto, change the channel.
Do it for all of us.
