Starting tomorrow—November 1st—I’m declaring it “No Trump November” on my Facebook page. I need a break from the daily circus, so I don’t plan to mention him at all during the month. I’m cutting myself off cold turkey. No posts, no comments, no rants. Please don’t tempt me with articles, videos, or breaking news.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Robert: That’s fine; I won’t post a link to this post on your FB page, the way I normally would.

I would point out, though, that in a way this plays into Trump’s hands. The work of fine and intelligent people like you impedes his ability to inflict damage on our formerly great country.
