Also the daily "TRUMP WANTS TO _______" when he isn't even president yet is just exhausting. He's just trolling everyone with the dumbest things possible and everyone is reacting to it (all this crap about Canada and Greenland).

It would be easier to just go with "yeah the POTUS is a silly head, don't listen to anything he says" if the dude hadn't already literally been in charge once and actually done a bunch of crazy shit.

A monkey got ahold of a knife and stabbed a bunch of people. We got it away from him but now he has it back and he's dancing around with it.

Is he trolling us? Absolutely. Can we afford not to pay attention? Nope.

Using your analogy it's the news reporting that the monkey has the knife but is trying to stab the refrigerator. None of those things will happen and it's just dumb. We should pay attention when he actually proposes something real.

The problem is we can't really tell what stupid bullshit he wants to follow through on. I mean, he actually tried that wall and look how that went. Got into a pissing contest with north korea too. It's like he'll propose 20 things, 15 of them would ruin a lot of people's lives, but he'll only flow through on 3 of the 20. So now we're watching the roulette wheel spin to see what it lands on
