    Really wish we’d stop reporting on this old man yelling at clouds. It would be more newsworthy if he’d referenced a law that did exist.

      Unfortunately ignoring this guy isn’t going to make him go away. There is a large crowd who follow him and we should be aware

      However I agree with your sentiment, I wish we never heard of him again

        I didn’t say ignore him. I said stop reporting on him yelling at clouds.

        Reporting on a murder doesn’t need to include every insane thing that comes out of the murderer’s mouth. But in Trump’s case that’s what gets the clicks.

        Yeah, it won’t stop then either as he will get media attention until a few decades after he dies at least. Like a shittier JFK.

        He’s eligible for a 2nd term until he gets one or he dies. We’re going to have to hear from him at least until 2028, maybe even 2032.
