NEW YORK, NY Nov. 24 (DPI) – America appears to have turned a historic corner – electing a democracy-threatening demagogue and then ousting him four years later. If the stock markets are any indication, the nation is celebrating, or at least expressing relief, that Trump has capitulated and acceded to a transfer of power.

Major stock indices hit records today as investors looked ahead – ahead of the pandemic, as well as ahead to a middle-of-the-road Biden administration. Moreover, investors seemed delighted at the prospect of a Republican-controlled Senate, which will come to pass if the Georgia Senate runoffs yield GOP victories in the first week of January.

Most of all, though, most Americans appear ready to move on – and to forget about Trump. A Washington Post commentary headlined “Trump will soon leave the White House. How long before he stops dominating the conversation?” prompted a flurry of popular comments calling for the media to ignore him:

How long before he stops dominating the conversation?
As soon as you guys stop reporting on him.

As soon as you, and the news media in general quits dishing him out as news.  I hope he disappears.  Can’t happen if you keep writing about him.

How about this? I wasn’t even thinking about him until you brought him up.  Please media, rehab your fixation with Trump

I really do hope that the media – both visual and printed – will ignore him. Let him disappear into the woodwork. I cannot think of a single thing he might do that would rate being talked about in the media. 

Most of us probably didn’t even read the story, just went directly to the comments
