Amen.

I would also add to stop reading articles with hyperbole and only read about trump if it effects you or your community. The more we give him air time, the more we give him power. If the news outlets don't make money through him, then they might stop promoting his bullshit.

I've not forgotten that a NYT reporter was asked during the first term if he would prefer Obama or trump and he said trump because it got him so much better clicks. (paraphrased). I'm over it.
