Trump time-out

“Time-out” is defined as “a procedure in which a child is placed in a different, less-rewarding situation or setting whenever he or she engages in undesirable or inappropriate behaviors.”

Wouldn’t it be a fascinating (and maybe effective) social experiment to see what would happen if the media chose not to report on Donald Trump for 48 hours? Of course, this would require a collaborative effort by the news agencies. But once and for all, we would behold the power of the press.
