Who Cares About the Indictment of Trump?

Last night my wife and U stopped off for dinner on the way home from work. We walked into a popular franchise restaurant which was pretty well filled up. We were given a booth from which we could see one of the wide-screen TVs which was hanging from the ceiling over the bar.

There were probably a half-dozen TVs in the room and every set was showing the news. I’m not sure if the sets were tuned to Fox or CNN but every screen was playing the story about Trump’s indictment earlier that day.

Know what was the most impressive thing about watching a TV story about the first indictment of someone who had served as President of the United States? It was the fact that as far as I could tell, I was the only person in the entire Applebee’s restaurant who seemed to be in the slightest bit interested in what was being reported on the news.

And it wasn’t as if the announcement about Trump’s indictment was old news. We arrived at the restaurant at about 5:30, which was exactly the time that the story first broke.

Everyone in the restaurant kept eating, talking, drinking, and basically entertaining themselves as the whole indictment story played across all the widescreen TV’s. The news show then switched to what appeared to be some story about Ukraine which also elicited not any kind of viewer response.
