Do you have that feeling as if Trump is almost done with his first term but we in reality are only in the 7th month of his presidency?

Maybe Fox can learn how to spell cancellation?

No, although it does feel like more time has passed given that the stupid media cant go a goddamn day without mentioning some new negative thing Trump has done, regardless of how unimportant it is. At least Fox news used to take a week break between their bs reports calling Michelle Obama fat. Instead CNN cant even have members of congress on to talk about pending legislation anymore without devoting the first 10 minutes of the interview to: "OMG you MUST condemn this mean trump tweet since it is the biggest news story of the decade." It reminds me of the bojack horseman episode where MSNBSea interupts congressional debate on a budget to talk about the "more important story" of a minor celebrity saying the troops were jerks. God forbid we have to endure another 7.5 years of this abominable symbiotic relationship. But controversy sells, and fake news is all about selling controversy. So expect this presidency to feel twice as long, at least until the media learns to starve the beast rather than feeding it.

Such media attention really helped him to get to the White House in the first place, lol.

Yeah. Plus 2 years of treating everything hes said or done as uniquely evil and disqualifying has done as much to transform him in to teflon Don as anything. I mean, I hate Trump and couldnt even vote for him when he was running against Hillary. But I didnt even blink when the Trump jr. Info came out, because even if its 100% true, its still not even half as scummy as some of the lies the media has been routinely hurling around about the Prez. If you spend forever hyperbolically and falsely accusing the President of being a racist treasonous fascist with all sorts of evil schemes to subvert freedom and purposefully torment nonwhites, when it comes out that his son may have sought opposition research from a person of Russian ancestry, I just cant care. I want to, but im just so burned out on the media bs, that even this feels like itll be more nothingburgers. If you hear false cries of wolf for 2 years, you begin to go numb even when you think you see some gray fur in the bush.
