Nobody can. Nobody could. Soon, nobody will be talking about anything but. Uncle Donny is the relative you grudgingly are obliged to invite to Thanksgiving dinner, the guest no one sure as hell wants to sit next to, but for the following weeks, months, years he's the one everyone remembers. "Remember that Thanksgiving 20 years go when Uncle Donny...." Do you really think Trump in his current public role is ignorable? In our current media ecosystem? No.

In my experience, only as a dodge to avoid contemplating their own, but point accepted.
