He is devouring it and all of TV news. You have the power to restrict his diet and ours. Let’s fast. Just for one week.
See what happens—to his numbers and to yours. You might lose a few points, but you will feel better and look better to the rest of the world. Finally, all of us will be free of the guilt and shame prompted by this binge. It just might make a difference for him, too. His poll numbers dropped in late October, as Jim Tankersley pointed out on the Washington Post’s Wonkblog, when his on-air mentions fell behind Marco Rubio and Ben Carson.
Just imagine what that week might be like without his constant presence in our lives and in our heads: a week when TV news isn’t just fomenting fear; where public life is once more a place where some rules of engagement still matter; where there are places our leaders don’t go; where the media decides there is a line it won’t cross and views it won’t enable; where we can all remember who we are and what this country is about.
He is not a politician. He is not a leader. He is a supreme narcissist, and you can deprive him of the one thing that keeps him going—airtime.
