Nation Thanks Pope for Briefly Bumping Trump from News
Quote:NEW YORK ()—As Pope Francis makes his historic first visit to the United States, millions of Americans are turning out to thank the Pontiff for temporarily displacing Donald Trump from the news.

As the Pope visits Washington, New York, and Philadelphia, people from every walk of life are expressing profound gratitude that the news media is offering non-stop coverage of Francis’s every move instead of Trump’s, if only for five days.

Carol Foyler, of New York, said that the Pope’s visit would wreak havoc with traffic in Manhattan this week, but added, “I would put up with that all year long if it meant seeing less of that [expletive] Trump’s face.”

I was kind of tired of the gaudy, over-the-top showmanship and the way people hung onto his every word.
So, yeah. Thanks?

I'd rather hear real news. Thankfully, NPR is something of an oasis in the American news desert.
