3. When you get reminded over and over

How little has been done to address your concerns, things designed to distract you kind of fall flat. tRump doesn’t live like the rest of the real people live so he isn’t familiar with the price of groceries. He doesn’t pull out his check book and write checks to pay bills — or go to his banking app to make payments for his insurance or car. But millions of us do that regularly so we know if prices are going down or not.

When tRump does things to distract, it is pretty obvious. But with his limited experience of everyday life, he doesn’t know his efforts to make us think about or worry about something else are futile. When you’re worried about making ends meet and have no way to stretch any more of your budget, he is just so much noise and flapping of his arms. Somebody needs to tell him it’s not working.

Oh, and release all of the Epstein files. We can walk and chew gum at the same time — if we want to.
