Please, for the love of God, just stop giving him attention

Last time they didn't, we're in for at least 4 years of this.
-
If they did that, they would have nothing to say.
-
I'm not seeing the downside here.
-
Then they would have to report on the things he's actually doing and planning. Or report on his many failures.

The office of a US president in spe threatening the EU, neighbours and a former colony with violence is newsworthy.
-
I've blocked all US magazines and other social media channels I can, and I'm so much better for it.
When the moron actually invades Canada I'm sure I'll hear about it in the news.
And, frankly, this magazine is on notice. If it starts being 100% US politics it's getting blocked as well. I have zero regrets about this new policy I'm implementing.

If it were any other US president it would certainly be newsworthy and incredibly alarming. But old Don, as we all know, is completely full of shit and just says things
A.) because he's a fucking idiot and
B.) to distract from what he's actually up to. -
Same goes for the Fediverse. Can't go on a single political instance anymore without many people just having to bring up the asshole's existence.

One cannot "fuck around and find out" in nuclear diplomacy. Threats are threats and relying on distraction theory here is denial.
Distraction theory may work domestically, but not in diplomacy. Well, unless there's evidence for something worse planned (compare Russia in the security council 2022-02-22).

What happened the last time he was president and made these threats?
Nothing.
He's a troll and world leaders know it. -

This is the reason he won again. The “press” makes so much more money when they have tabloid fodder and reality tv drama. Remember how boring it was when the adults were running things in the first 2 years before campaign “season” started again? It was so nice.

"Nuking Hurricanes" is way more interesting than "inflation."

Same story posted from 3 different news agencies x every news community on Lemmy =

The difference for me personally is if news articles start with “Trump says“ or with "USA does“. I am very much done with the former, just to keep my mental health intact.

If his past performance + Project 2025 haven't combined to convince you that the first win was a surprise to everyone and his handlers are far more ready this time around, you are as deluded as those who voted for him.
He's worthy of our attention. Stupid and assholish or not, he's literally the most powerful man on the planet (aside from Elon Musk) right now.

Um, what are you talking about?

Dissociation and denial are understandable in times of despair. Sometimes, denial can fuel further despair though.

Ignorance is not a solution. I can ignore cars while walking across the street, but it's probably a bad idea since I might get hit. This motherfucker is going to affect the future of the planet, so all hands on deck, red alert, pay attention. The man is a criminal, he should be in prison, not running a country. I want him feeling like he's under a microscope with the whole world watching.

You say this like someone is going to change their behavior based on it. No one at all has regrets about you choosing to exercise the block early block often ethos of the fediverse. I salute your decision to control your own feed.
I'm sorry our politics is everywhere (sincerely) - I'm not going to stop talking about it though.
