I am so tired of Trump theater

[vlyons]

Trump's continuous drama, over and over and over. Yet always the same plot, same characters, same same same same.

Tired of the talking heads endlessly talking about him. Tired of him showing up in my FB news feed. Tired of his tweets. Tired of his lies. Tired of his stupidity. Tired of his vulgarity, his cruelty, criminality. Trump has become just another TV and movie genre that I instantly dislike and never watch, because it is so very tiresome and predictable.

The very best thing that I can say, is that as an extremely unpleasant experience that comes before me, Trump challenges me to maintain a calm and peaceful mind, rather than allowing anger to kidnap me and drag me out the door.

Turn all-Trump off, and turn on some classical music to clean the atmosphere and lift my spirits.

1. Same here!!! He's ugly and obnoxious in all dimensions! n/t

[JHan]

2. i feel u, I've switched off.

[FakeNoose]

3. I hear you! This shit-show needs to be cancelled

[certainot]

30. limbaugh calling 'collusion' a hoax and ramping up pressure on trump and new AG

to shut it all down and start a 'real' investigation of all the people involved, all the way up to obama.

"these are all people who worked for obama",

attacking "little pencil neck" schiff, ocasio cortez and her "deranged" supporters

says it's all a hoax, is part of a coup. this on 600 radio stations and will spread to 1500 radio stations designed to push gop senators and the new AG into more obstruction. whether they actually start investigations or not it will enable more denial and obstruction of mueller and release of the actual report. even if the report is released much of the base will believe this version and that the actual report was all made up.

with this crap selling for another year on 1500 stations without challenge from the left, there is no way to get those senators to impeach

4. You've expressed what most Americans . . .

think and feel, the exhausting, endless drama, the gushing spew of malice and ignorance.

Which is why we need to do everything we can to rid ourselves of the Trumpster and his odious acolytes.

But classical music, reading a good book or even daydreaming of a better day are definitely tonics to the craziness.



Keep the faith.

[True Blue American]

25. I have read so many books in the last few years

I am having trouble finding books at my Library. Just kidding but I am visting more often.

[procon]

5. I can feel my brain cells die off just

listening to his incessant lies. He doesn't even bother to hide his ignorance anymore, it's as if he's proud to be the font of disinformation and deceit.

[greymattermom]

6. The networks need to cancel his show.

And that will happen when ratings decline.

[vlyons]

7. I manage to stay up with the plot,

because I don't want to fall into indifference and ennui. I just don't need or want to contaminate my mind stream all day, every day.

[Wounded Bear]

8. The big problem is that we've wasted two months...

of a short legislative term on this shit.

In that respect, the Repubs already won. The agenda that Dems ran on haven't been even discussed for the most part.

[walkingman]

9. I've definitely have had enough.

[Blue Owl]

10. Yup just turn it off

The classical music is a good alternative -- thoughtful, inspiring, mentally stimulating... all things that trump is not...

[smirkymonkey]

11. I hear you! It's so exhausting.

It's like living with the world's most obnoxious, ADHD, hyper-hypo toddler.

I am just so tired of his shit every single day!

[hot2na]

12. That is the point!

Growing tired of Trump theater is the strategy. I'm tired and most people are tired of it. I have to keep away from the news sometimes because I get burned out by all the craziness. But we have to say engaged and enraged because the Tump/GOP/oligarchy movement would benefit if we did not.

[yonder]

23. Agreed. I believe that is their plan.

They taunt us ragged with BS to run our personal (and collective) batteries down, then count on us to slip off of our game.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. be encouraged

The Trump theater has exposed the depth of depravity in many areas -- the NRA, the Russiapublicans (especially Moscow Mitch), our home-grown oligarch class and the influence they buy, tv "news", and about a third of the electorate. If the narcissistic opportunist had not seized the spotlight to take over the Republican primary, the plans to make permanent the rule by extremist minority coalition, a.k.a. Republican party with Russian mob backing, may have succeeded.

We need to expose and publicize the corruption to encourage the public to vote the bastards out. Getting complacent will let the GOPer rust continue its destruction of good government.

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Tired of his supporters

"Deplorable" is too nice to describe them. The nation and world suffer to make sure that these horrible people keep still support him.

[lunatica]

15. I got thoroughly bored with it months ago

I watch Rachel Maddow because from the beginning she promised her show would not talk about his latest tweets. That they would only follow what he does and ignore what he says. She was prescient and has kept her promise.

I’m not exactly ignoring what he does because that is newsworthy, but in order to stay sane I have to not hear his lying voice. That eliminates most shows.

[lame54]

16. It's working...

Too tired to be shocked anymore

[Marie Marie]

17. Listening to Trump is like living in the movie Groundhog Day.

[world wide wally]

18. Tune out, turn off and throw up

[DownriverDem]

19. When folks tell me

to not listen or pay attention, I cringe. We can't fight what we don't know. I am so tired too, but I will Keeping on fighting.

[coeur_de_lion]

20. We are all sick to death of him

I literally never watch him or listen to him speak. Occasionally I accidentally read a tweet but that's it.

That's good advice, to tune him out. We all should follow it.

[True Blue American]

26. The never ending

Rerun of tweets over and over,program after program drove me away.

I find more real news here on DU!

[coeur_de_lion]

31. I read news elsewhere

Then check DU for the real scoop.

[True Blue American]

33. Oh, i get my news flashes

But I enjoy the sources here .

[Raine]

21. Best advice, you're correct

TURN IT OFF ... I don't know how anyone can continuously watch/listen to this stuff day in and day out.

[Karadeniz]

22. You hit the nail on the head!

Theater, drama. He's a hollow man, so he depends on pretense.

[Scarsdale]

24. He is repulsive in every way.

The good thing about him is that he represents the gop!! He was their choice of all those candidates. Proving once again that the gop is not interested in electing a president with brains, just a puppet with low intelligence, and a large mouth.

[meow2u3]

27. You're not alone. Believe me!

Most Americans have gotten sick of this Trump melodrama.

[rampartc]

28. sounds like you need a heart.

i refuse to type his name.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. yup.

implausible plots, bad acting.

[harumph]

32. It's very discouraging. At my age - anger is debilitating.

My fear - also expressed by other DU members is that we acclimate to the nonsense. And that's
what it is: non-sense. Non-rational behavior leveraged by powerful bad actors as a cover (a distraction)
for their own vulgar ends. Time is running out. Mindful persons must find a way to throw
sand in the gears. My feeling is that going inside to find a happy place is rightfully a prelude to action.

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. Sometimes I think that maybe the evangelicals were right

And that the rapture has already occurred. I missed out. And now I, along with all the rest of us liberal sinners, are suffering in hell. Every day a new torturous tweet, or action, or insult, or cruelty. And we are FORCED to accept this small minded sexist racist boor as the top authoritative figure in the country. The country of HELL!

[CrispyQ]

35. I just posted on another thread how I'm so sick of the drama & the lies.

I want this Reality Show White House to be canceled.

[kimbutgar]

36. I definitely have the orange maggot fatigue.

We can’t even have one day of him shuting the f up. Shut up shut up orange maggot. Go to friggin hell.

[hunter]

37. I don't watch television news.

It's like listening to someone you don't really care for blathering on about their psycho boyfriend.

For God's sake, shut up and dump him.

Give him a good hard kick in the balls, poor a drink on his head, and be done with it.

[ooky]

38. Yea, it sure wears you down.

Sometimes I have to keep it off for a while, like a couple straight days, and turn to TV show binging or getting into some music for a while or walking the dog. Get my head cleared.

[Roy Rolling]

39. Yesterday

I was thinking the same thing. Turned on "1812 Overture".

I don't know if that helped.

[kentuck]

40. But there must be drama...

There must be suspense. There must be unpredictability. There must be fear and division.

There must be lies and vulgarity.

Otherwise, what would an autocrat do?
