I don't want to watch clips of his rallies!!!!!

I turn on the news and start to watch a segment, catching up to the details of the terrorist plot, and immediately they go to clips of rallies and I have to mute or change the channel, because I just can’t look at Rump’s face or hear his voice anymore.

I know what inspired this murderer; everyone knows. We see the van and we hear about his social media rants. But do we have to look at countless clips of Rump on stage, his big mouth foaming? I think he probably gets a huge charge of getting even more coverage, especially since a lot of of cable news shows have stopped airing his boring rallies.

I don't want to see him

I don't want to hear him

If you insist on watching that bloated bastard, go watch your own tv.

came on... now I turn it off and leave it off until I determine that it might be safe to turn on again.

Sadly so many clips of his completely stupid statements get played that it's almost impossible to avoid him altogether.

You would think that MSNBC would at least learn. But they don't. They keep doing this over and over.

Even Rachel did it last night. I quickly grabbed the remote to mute the content! I wasn't expecting her to do it. With other shows I have to keep the remote in my hands at all times.

they loop his insane remarks and actions over and over again. It is nauseating. They might as well continue to broadcast his rallies because they are taking snipets and making them chatter for the day.

He never says anything new. Why would I need to see/hear him repeat the same old garbage?

I really hope it stops at some point.

The media is doing the right thing to show Trump and his MAGA Rabble frothing at the mouth. They were instrumental in bringing him to where he is today. Let them bring him down now, since he was stupid enough to go after them.

They like to claim it’s a civil war between the Left and the Right, but in actuality it’s become a three way war now. He picked this war with the media. They’re fighting back.

C'mon media we KNOW he is a scumbag who has said nothing but deplorable things. Why they have to show the worst of this worst among us from years ago to now I don't know. Some of these marathons of awfulness go on for minutes. Pointless. We get it, we're not idiots. I'm like the others on here. I turn it off until I think it's safe to turn it back on again.

John Harwood on Joy Reid’s Show just described it pretty well. The truth of the majority of his supporters is that they are not so educated......college educated women are moving to the democrats in big numbers, men who didn’t get past high school are flocking to this demagogue.....they tend to buy into the far out fringe lies of Info Wars, Limbaugh, etc.

The stakes of this coming election and then the 2020 election could not be higher.

Game on for the future of our Nation.
