What if, God forbid, Trump news stops?

May the time never come. But imagine this as preparation: a world where Trump is no longer the daily bread of our news diet. Scary, right? We are solidly hooked on the Trump Show.

Step 2, replace Trump news with wholesome content, like videos of baby goats in pyjamas. Step 3, resist the urge to click on 'Trump's Latest Shocking Statement' (spoiler: it's not shocking any more).


And maybe he'll never go out of the headlines. But if he does, we might just rediscover a world where our brains aren't on a constant adrenaline drip of addictive Trump juice. Until then, pass the popcorn. The show must go on.
