Are there too many posts about Trump?

Obviously he can't be ignored completely because he is the actual President of the actual United States and IMO he is abysmal for multiple reasons. Really though?

He wants the oxygen of the publicity and he is a troll. He uses the dead cat strategy to distract from more damaging and more fundamental issues and people take the bait.

He also wants people to get angry. Liberals are 'triggered' into a response and his base love that.

I get that it's tricky sometimes because you don't want to ignore attacked on transgender people in the military etc but people need to be aware of the strategy. This is a self reinforcing feedback loop and Trump is not an idiot (in this sense).

There are other and more fundamental political issues in the world anyway. Also there are plenty of issues which relate to Trump where he is merely a symptom of deeper problems rather than the cause. Also, it's boring.

Ironically, [b]Trump’s[/b] the one “triggered” into a response by any criticism by anybody. [b]Comedians[/b] love that. He actually doesn’t like being a national joke, and his base doesn’t like it, either. They feel Trump deserves more respect, but they can all whistle for that, it’s not happening. He deserves the same amount of respect he gave his predecessor.

@bijouxbroussard Russia and China are playing him big time. They know if they give him the lavish praise his ego needs, and perhaps a small victory to tout to his adoring base, they can do whatever they want in the real world.

To address the original post, I don't think the trump posts are too many. After all, he is the biggest danger to the nation, and his actions just get more unpredictable and impulsive with time, further exposing his unfitness for office. To not speak out against evil would be the real travesty.
