I wonder if others get a headache from
Donald Trump like I do? I’m wondering if there is a tipping point with Donald
Trump, a point where people will just start tuning him out. It’s like a show
that we’ve seen and were amused by, but it’s gotten old in a very short time
and now it’s time to end the run.
His speech at the end of the Republican
Convention went on for a record length of 75 minutes. The strident vocals he
used were such that I began to feel my head and neck tighten up after about 30
minutes.
Not only was there no hope and change,
there was no hope for any kind of relief from the strident and cacophonous
sound of that voice yelling things to the American people. I know people, Republicans, mind you, who
cannot stand the sound of Sarah Palin’s voice. I thought it was just me.
I cannot take the pitch and tone after a
few minutes. It’s not the content, which is downright laughable at times. It’s
the cadence and the strident pitch of that voice that causes my neck muscles to
bunch up. That may be why she didn’t speak at their Convention. Someone may
have sensed that the two of them together just would not do.
At any rate, if Donald Trump loses, one of
the reasons may be that voice. He cannot accuse Hillary, who at times does
indulge in an overly hearty and fatuous horse laugh, of being the only one that
is hard to listen to. Trump may have problems with content, but the packaging
is beginning to mildew. It’s that voice…the American people may have reached a
tipping point, but I’m not sure. I do know that my capacity has maxed out. I’m now
on overload and determined to mute the Donald for the next few months. It’s the
only way to survive without overdosing on Advil and Tylenol.
