Celebrity via outrage is his only trick. The best way to defeat him is to give him no oxygen. Don't click on the clickbait, turn off the tv when they talk about him, etc. If enough of us do this, then the media will see a correlation - when we report on Donnie, we lose viewers and revenue - and he will fade. Convicted, disgraced, ignored and then, finally, invisible.

The WORST thing for Trump, the ONE THING that would kill him would be to ignore him. But that I am afraid isn't happening anytime soon. Even people who hate him can't look away. It's the psychology of the masses and it's what lead to the rise of 20th century fascist rulers.

"Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree."
