After I got over the shock of Trump’s election to the office of the presidency, I became interested in politics. I was never much interested in politics before. Now I became an avid follower of American politics.
I called my cable company and added CNN and MSNBC. I started watching with righteous outrage. I was glad that the news networks were calling out Trump and bringing to the public his glaring missteps and violations of constitutional norms and good practice.
Later, I watched with amusement as the best reality show on the air. “What was he up to next?” I asked, glued to the TV news.
Now I’m just getting sick of it all. I don’t watch much, anymore. I have this kind of resignation to low standards of human decency, unbridled violations of presidential protocols, bragging, influence peddling, conflicts of interest, and the list goes on. I just want all this over as soon as possible. It isn’t funny anymore. Isn’t even interesting.
