An attemp to try and move the sexual predator wanna-be-president off the front pages.

The majority of Americans are sick to their gut about Trumps words. Its been a loop on every news channel, newspaper, social media blog to the point where FB is the last place they are going to discuss this X-rated tripe.

Its hit a saturation point of repulsion with many.

I haven't used FB in years and its not where I'd go to judge the shifting winds of Trump's sickness.
