It didn’t have the novel impact of the slow OJ Simpson pursuit and surrender. But Monday’s transit of Donald Trump from Mar-a-Lago to Trump Tower was enough to trigger that sick feeling I felt in June 1994. Another media event was upon us, this time in the era of lightning fast social media.

Fortunately, once the Manhattan indictment was unsealed, the news media let things cool off. Donald Trump coverage still brings in viewers, but it is not the money maker it used to be. Trump is not ascending. He is still fading.

So while we will hurt ourselves again over Trump with each of his criminal tantrums and legal setbacks. he will eventually go away. Let’s try not to repeat 2015-2016. Don’t let him suck all the oxygen out of the nation. Summer is here and it’s time to briefly enjoy life.
