It is absurd. There has never been a presidency like this one.

During the eight years of Barack Obama's presidency there was little daily news, certainly no "breaking news," on CNN or NBC. Ever since the election of Donald Trump we are inundated with often compelling news stories several times a day. You can turn on the television any time and be confronted with the president's latest tweets, rants or golf misadventures.

It is exhausting and compelling. Trump is always on our minds. Not sure we can cope with another 1,295 days of insanity.
