"Walking it back."
"Fake news."
"180 degree turn."
"Chaos in the Oval Office."
"Bigly."
I am saturated. Waking up each morning to have news coverage on both radio and television about the latest series of very "presidential" tweets and misstatements is just too much. The grammatical errors, the inability to speak without causing major confusion and head scratching. I find the information, repeated and repeated, and analyzed and discussed just puts me in a sad/bad mood....probably affects my blood pressure and stress level. And his statements frighten me.
So I'm trying to just stop - stop listening, stop watching, stop...stop....stop.
I know it won't be possible to ignore it all. But I'm going to try. I will try to scroll past the Facebook posts. I won't keep my radio on PBS all day....I will listen to music. I will walk out of the room for the nightly news and probably not start my day with one of the morning shows. At least for awhile.....until I can strike a balance. I know I need to stay informed, but if his "handlers" cannot keep him on track why should I waste my time trying to sort through the confusion?
And if only the news professionals would try to do the same for a few weeks. Just cut him off....don't give him the soapbox or the publicity....he thrives on it. So ignore the man. Cover the NEWS. Cover what's actually HAPPENING.....cover the final DECISIONS.
Just stop covering the sad/ridiculous/unqualified crapola that originates with 45.
Just stop.......
