3. Wrong advice

You ignore Cliff on his bar stool or Archie in his recliner. They have no power. You don't ignore the top elected official of the most powerful country in the US. His words have the weight of his office. You call upon Congress to remove him. That is their job.

However, the obsession with his tweets is not helpful, either. He LOVES that he can fling out incendiary comments and then sit back and watch the media go crazy over them until he flings his next batch of poo.

Trump seems to me to be immature. First we raised our children
and did well. A problem was their friends who liked to hang out,
we had to raise them too ... they were neglected. Now it is the
grandchildren who have their friends over and are in the same boat,
neglected. These neglected kids act like Trump and they all need
more attention. He has a mental problem. He was neglected now
he is being taken advantage of.
He's bought all his comradery and will pay for it the rest of his
life (just like us). He is pretty helpless and without friends because
he discards trump (I could not pass that pun up). He dumps people
who disagree with him.

She's smart, involved and has a powerful voice. I don't know if she wants to go into politics at some level later, but she'd be terrific.

To Our Ears. America would be wise to follow Ms. Emma Gonzalez's advice.

Let’s follow her advice, DU.

Ignore him- or downplay him, noting him only after your note the truth. Repeating him helps him. That’s what he wants.

I think she means to ignore his tweets, not the policies that impact the lives of every American. After Sandy Hook I was in despair thinking things will never change, these young people make me hopeful.

And my disgust grows with those that continue to support him, make excuses for him, resort to what-about-ism.
