Truth is being disemboweled right before world's eyes with these daily Trump gaslighting pressers

It is so immediate, so sweeping, so comprehensive, that well over 250 million (and billions of humans in terms of global impacts that will soon come calling when all externalities, exogenous shocks, and negatively correlated interlocks are factored in) citizens do not even comprehend what is happening, what foul darkness is emergent and in ascendancy.

Trump either creates loyalty or hate. He thrives on both. What would kill him is indifference. I know that I waste a tremendous amount of mental time on this vile man, thinking "how can he say that" or "how can he get away with this". Trump is a black hole (or an orange hole) pulling us in. So how to fight him with indifference? I don't know I'm not very good at it. I get worked up every day. At these pressers though I would recommend reporters target their questions at other people, do what they can to minimize his importance. This attention to Trump during this crisis is dragging us down.

That's what needs to happen. He loves to antagonize journalists he doesn't like. His cult loves it too. I don't understand the media. They empower this guy by giving him the attention he craves.

to speak the truth, show compassion and give proper professional guidance to the people.

Would the press give it equal time?..........
