@Airaku I understand where you're coming from. I heard about Trump's neologism the moment it was invented, but not about the other things you posted until I came here, which proves your point about the selectivity of our news media. But honestly, there's so much else going on in the world that you and I don't know about, from football trainers picking their butts on camera via people from third-world countries starving to death through to natural disasters, and it wouldn't change anything if we did. I'm not saying that such things should be swept under the rug, but sadly, there have been so many terrorist attacks lately that it's hard to still be shocked and devastated by every single one of them. As harsh as it sounds, I've become a little desensitised to that subject by now. Trump's stupidity on the other hand never ceases to amuse me, and I'd like to keep that sort of humour in the media rather than being told only terrible things all day and letting them dominate my entire life. (Not that such a moron being the president of one of the world's most powerful countries is
not a terrible thing, but... you get the idea.)
Bottom line: I'm sorry for what happened in Afghanistan and Kenya, and for all the other things happening around the world that we never even hear about, but I refuse to let the terrorists win by being depressed and scared all the time. I'd rather spend some of that time laughing, because if you forbid yourself to laugh whenever something bad happens, you will never be laughing again for the rest of your life.
