Stop watching the goddamn Trump COVID campaign pressers!

Everyone is complaining about the TV networks covering it, but they wouldn't cover it if people weren't watching. It's the demand, not the supply, that is the problem.

I haven't watched any of them and, I promise you, I haven't missed a single thing actually worth hearing from the clown or his collaborators. Find something more productive to do and stop giving him ratings. You're doing damage to our country and the world.

Just wish there was a daily thread where all the folks who watch them could post *Trump said* so we can get it all in one place.

When he does that simpering little half-whisper as he mansplains something or
that wheezy gasping when he reads remarks someone wrote for him; I get ill.

This isn't merely a suggestion, I'm literally your boss, or your parent, or a law enforcement officer. I give commands around here.
