What Trump says does not matter any more. Reacting to what he says just gives him energy. [View all]

We all know that he's going to lie, be racist and sexist, steal money, etc. All that we can do is be prepared for what he does, what bills get passed, etc.

Constantly reacting to what Trump says does nothing more than give him, and his followers, energy. Ignore his tweets, truth socials, whatever. Ignore it all. Deprive him of energy. It's the best and only resistance.
