I am not going to watch Trump's speech tonight. I do not need to hear the lies. I do not need the stress of his vile rhetoric. I do not want to feed his ego with more viewers. I am going to rely on journalists I trust to analyze and it and to catch the important clips. It is OK to take care of you!
