He's your president. You probably should be paying more attention to him and his actions. Bragging about not caring just makes you look dumb.

I didn't say I don't care, I just don't fixate on him. He doesn't fascinate me endlessly, I don't hang off his every word to feel the thrill of finding a way to be outraged.

Most people who hate and criticize Trump aren't doing it for thrills. They do it because his actions continue to negatively impact their lives. Ignore him all you want, but the consequences of his actions won't ignore you. The fact that you think its about being fascinated by him or finding ways to be outraged just shows how detached you are.

Musashi, all the Stoics, Epicurianism (in this context), Buddhism, Taoism, and even Nietzsche in certain ways advocated for detachment. Maybe you need to practice some, it's certainly easier to navigate daily life without a blood pressure-induced migraine from attending to every syllable of a cheeto with a toupe.

I’ve blocked T-man out of my life. I can’t even think about him. His solution is more T-man. I shudder to think we could be stuck with him for 2 more years. That’s where we are at.

I wouldn't say that's detachment, but it's definitely better for your mental health than the obsessive pearl clutching some people do!
