I have to turn him off

[vlyons]

MSNBC is playing clips of Leslie Stahl's interview with Trump. I just had to turn it off. I don't hate myself enough to subject myself to his ever so obvious stupidity, venal corrupt immorality, and whatever other synonym adjectives for degenerate are in the dictionary.

Why does anyone listen to that? If you are even a half-decent or half-intelligent person, don't you feel that your credulity is over-taxed and your intelligence insulted? I do. I just can't listen to his lies and the made-upm shit that he pulls lout of his butt and sets on a velvet pillow for all to admire.

I refuse to allow him to make me hate him. So I just turn him off.

1. I have the exact same impulse.

I can't stand to give him one second of audience.

2. I walked in and he was talking about Kim.

Stahl was saying but he's a bad person and drumpf interrupted her to say they got along great, he liked him and they had chemistry. He wouldn't even answer any questions about Kim's actions, just kept saying, he's my friend sand we really get a;pg GREAT! He sounded like a child at playground. Then he said the EU was put together just to bring down the US, to beat us at trade and how awful they were. He can't stand them because he and PUtin and see them as standing in Russia's way so that's why he hates them. They also haven't bribed him sufficiently and he can't stand that either. He has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old and cares zero for the people of the USA or the world. I just watched for 1-2 min. and turned it off I haven't watched or listened to any of his interviews since Lester Holt, just can't stand him. I felt physically ill afterwards and haven't tortured myself that way since, don't even watch Stte of the Union speech, which I have never missed prior to him. Even watch GW's version, tough as that was.

3. You are not alone in not being able to listen to or watch 45.

What is most distressing to me is how many people in this country think he belongs in the Oval Office.

I would wager that at least half the people on DU would make better decisions and provide better leadership for the country if they became POTUS. The man is not qualified to be dog catcher, let alone POTUS.

The country is fu*ked. Really fu*ked.

VOTE!!!

9. Any manager of a McDonald's would make a better POTUS.

At least they have some demonstrated leadership, business, and people skills.Trump has NONE of these. If his dad hadn't been rich, he would certainly have been thrown in prison a long, long time ago for a variety of small felonies.

4. Can't stand the sight or sound of him. Reading his tweets are bad enough.

[onecaliberal]

5. I can't look at his face, let alone listen to the sound of his voice and psychotic ranting.

[lovemydogs]

6. I cannot stand his voice or the drivel that comes out

[pangaia]

7. Never turn WHO off?

I never turn the telly on, so I have no idea about whom you speak.

[Dave Starsky]

8. There is absolutely NOTHING to be gained by listening to him.

Every single thing he says is a flat-out lie or some wild bullshit made up out of thin air (about a 4:1 ratio). He doesn't even present it in any way that makes any internal logical sense. You could take the verbatim transcript of his last rally speech, cut it into a thousand pieces, throw the pieces up in the air, and reassemble them at random to produce the verbatim transcript of his next speech.

10. Why would you even turn it on?

Read it afterwards.

[miffelplix]

11. By the time Trump leaves office, average national IQ will have dipped several points

[Doitnow]

12. Ditto all of the above. Not even worth my time to describe how repulsive he is. A true nothing. A

rimless zero.

[YOHABLO]

13. I was watching the Stahl interview and just couldn't handle it. It's horrific he's the ''President''

It's early voting time. I hope people will get out and vote. The more Dems vote the less Repugs can cheat.

[onit2day]

14. I had to force myself to watch even part of it. At one point I was just yelling at Stahld

tell him "you're not the boss of me. Being preasident does not mean you're my boss or anything other than what you were elected to be or do You saying I'm President means so little when you start acting like you're above me or anybody else. You are a pathological liar and a sociopath who is unfit to be president. Your title does not give you the right to talk down to people or to belittle people."

15. It's a damn razors edge the media has to dance on

The media has a case of the Trumps.Although, I will have to wait for him to fart really loud to test that theory though.

Obviously the media needs to shine a light on him and (try) to keep him honest. But a full 24/7 news cycle of Kanye in the oval office. It's something that I've never seen before.

[Power 2 the People]

16. I can't listen to him speak. Even for a minute.

[Nitram]

17. I don't care how "good'" the interview is, I can't listen to Trump anymore.

Fortunately NPR always warns us when they are going to play a tape of a Trump speech so I can turn mute it for a minute.

[HipChick]

18. With Faux News not carrying his rallies, his intent is to blitz the media until Nov 6th..

I will not be counted in his ratings...
