Here is the intro to New York Times' columnist Frank Bruni's most recent column.
Are we, as Bruni says, guilty of "giving Trump too much of what he thrives on? Attention."
Is it possible that you and I constitute the "two straws worth" of attention that insure His Deplorability never weakens to the point where he would collapse.
Sort of like the proverbial camel's back -- but "in reverse."
I'm not suggesting abstinence... but moderation.

President Trump’s outrages, absurdities and indelicacies arrive with such frequency that they numbingly blur together, and to comment on each is to give him too much of what he thrives on — attention — and be debilitated by his dominance of your thoughts and passions. |
That’s why many of you rightly cry foul about the media’s obsession with him, and it’s why I’m judicious, or try to be, about how much real estate he gets in my columns and in this newsletter. Love A |
