At some point the American people have got to move past ridicule.

Ridicule is safe, it does not leave a lasting mark. It makes us feel superior and self satisfied, but it has absolutely no effect on justice.

it may well be this really stupid stunt that is so emblematic of Trump's out-of-control narcissism and sociopathy, that sticks with people--even some of his supporters.

The fact that ALL media--even Fox--have reported on it 24/7 for days now is both good and Bad.
