Is There A Vaccine For Trump Derangement Syndrome?
The Chinese flu is an unprecedented bad news event in my lifetime – a life that has witnessed major assassinations, nationwide riots, 9/11, and that YouTube song about it being Friday. It took a minute, but Trump – somehow still alert and elastic – has adapted to the crisis. But not the press. From them, the same old hate just keeps on coming. Trump seems so far to have done what can be done in these situations.

Trump derangement syndrome is a clear and present danger to the the American people and to America itself.  It has clearly afflicted the lamestream media and it’s democrat party masters.  The hate directed at our President during this crisis is un American.  The lies they’ve told about our heroic war time President are to numerous to track.  Our President is doing a great job fighting this China virus.  


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



After the primaries this week, I was watching Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. I’ve reached an age where I’ve seen just about everything and very little surprises me. But I confess myself… well, let’s say appalled that any sentient creature above the level of a jellyfish would vote for either of these men for president.

Because I have leftist friends and relatives, I know there are some on the Left who have drained the Kool Aid to the very dregs. They tell me they only hope they can die before climate change turns the earth into Mad Max: Fury Road. They have their fingers crossed that Joe Biden will pick a high quality vice presidential candidate like – wait for it – Stacey Abrams! And until the moment the stock market tanked, they actually believed the incompetent Barack Obama was responsible for the Trump economy.

So yes, I’ve witnessed with my own weary eyes the toxic effects of reading The New York Times as if it were still a newspaper. I’ve seen what that stuff can do to the human mind and it’s not pretty.

But Bernie Sanders? Joe Biden? Really? I know better than to think human stupidity has a bottom. All the same: appalled.

Sanders, at this point, looks like an unindicted co-conspirator in the Rosenberg case. He’s a radical visionary with his eyes on the far horizon – only it’s a horizon forty years behind him, back when all his ideas failed. As I write this, Bernie seems to be contemplating pulling out of the race. Still. The people who cheered him on must be the same young people who are still crowding the bars and beaches, saying, “Dude, I’m not letting this stupid flu thing get in the way of the party.”

As for Biden, he looks like the 1950’s neighbor who waves to you from his driveway before climbing into his Nash Rambler so he can pretend to go to a job he was fired from three weeks ago. Dazed and dead inside after a political life empty of principle, he really should be sitting in a rocker wistfully wondering where the time went. It would be touching to watch his wife gently leading him offstage when he forgets where he is, if only I didn’t hear reporters and other Democrat propagandists saying things like, “When I look at Joe, I see a president.” It’s a shocking con.

People keep asking how the field narrowed to these two old white men. It’s simple. They are perfect symbols of a party without a single new idea.

And the moral flea circus we call American journalism is right there with them.

The Chinese flu is an unprecedented bad news event in my lifetime – a life that has witnessed major assassinations, nationwide riots, 9/11, and that YouTube song about it being Friday. It took a minute, but Trump – somehow still alert and elastic – has adapted to the crisis. But not the press. From them, the same old hate just keeps on coming.

Trump seems so far to have done what can be done in these situations. The tests were slow, but the fault was with the very regulatory system he has tried to diminish. And he said a few flippant things at the beginning, but he’s Trump, so what? His decisive move to shut down travel from China saved lives while the media complained, and he seems to have good experts to whom he’s listening. And Vice President Mensch has lived up to his name, or at least the name I call him.

But the press continues to lie about Trump shamelessly. He called the virus a hoax. [Narrator: He didn’t.] He told the states to go it alone. [Nope.] He’s racist because he calls it the Chinese flu. [It comes from China and the Chinese let it spread before they told anyone and then tried to blame it on us.] And this isn’t fake news from some crap lunatic outlet like CNN or NBC. This stuff has been in the Times and The Washington Post – which then also run stories accusing Trump of dishonesty without even seeing the irony.

It won’t stop, but it really should. It’s disgraceful at a time when we need our leaders to lead and our reporters to report. I’m not saying they can’t criticize or disagree with the man. I’m not even saying they have to like him.

But after all the warnings that Trump would seize on any disaster to morph himself into Hitler (he hasn’t), after all the attacks on his border policy (which turns out to be just good sense), after all the fretting about his xenophobia (which was not xenophobia at all but wisdom about the errors of globalism), it’s time for the news bosses to either find a cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome or force the infected to shelter in place.

After that, they can simply apologize to the president, and move on.

Otherwise known as the coronavirus or Covad 19 by people with actually follow the CDC.

Wow, the trifecta in antisemitism. Great piece of journalism you have there.

Oh I see.. a double standard. One for Trump and a different one for the Dems. 

Yes indeed some suffer from TDS while other suffer from TES (Trump excuse syndrome) or DSS (Democrats Suck Syndrome) of which this op/ed is doing a fine example of.

Perrie, there is no such thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome.  It is a farcical term used by the right to make excuses for Trump.  Is there a Bernie Madoff Derangement Syndrome? Is there a Harvey Weinstein Derangement Syndrome?  Of course not, they would be ridiculous.  "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is ridiculous too. 

When you say there is such a thing as TDS, you are taking a step towards normalizing Donald Trump. Is that really what you want to do? 

A couple months ago you deleted (ticketed) comments where a Trump supporter on this site suggested another member had TDS.  

Now you are saying it actually is a thing?  How do you explain this? 

Are we supposed to measure criticism of this ridiculous, absurd presidency so as to fall into the parameters of being "fair" to BOTH SIDES ?

I am going to disagree with you John. When every single thing that Trump does is bad then you have TDS. When all you think about all day is how much you hate Trump, you have TDS. I could go on. 

There is nothing both sides about what I said. I deal in reality. That is the reality.

She didn't believe it before but, since the accusations have been made, she evolved due to the evidence right here on NT..........................

Its not my job to talk about the "good" things Trump does.  He is the worst president in the history of this country.  If you want to let him slide about this or that, that is on you. 

When we are dealing with the worst, most dishonest, most unethical person to ever hold national office I dont acknowledge "both sides" of the story. There is absolutely no reason to. 

I'm kind of shocked, to be honest with you, that you would say TDS is a real thing.

Wally,

The Republicans were supposed to put in measures that would prevent corporations from using the money for buybacks, which they did not. Both sides are not doing what they should be doing.

OK-- I'll admit it. 

I usually don'y mention this to strangers (or should I say "to strange people?")-- but I myself have a pretty bad case of HDS...as well as SDS. (And more than a tad of ATHDS!)

Not from the bill I saw.    What I saw required large corporations to pay it all back just like the last one.

Its just Democrat spin to cover the pure pork options they introduced imo.

Ummm. no. Read the Bill here:

There is nothing in that bill that addresses buybacks. Read it yourself. 

No spin when you can just read it.

Julius Rosenberg was a spy for the Soviet Union. Bernie Sanders is a fan of communist regimes - the Soviet Union among them.

Yes we all know. The issue is that his wife was not actively involved and didn't get a fair trial because.. now get this, antisemitic feelings in this country that all Jews were Bolsheviks. Her death is regarded as wrong. And because of them, Jews were brought in, in droves to sit in front of Joseph McCarthy whether guilty or not and tried.

I never called you a liar. I said that I googled it and I couldn't find it and the link you gave doesn't work either. 

So the only one misrepresenting what I said is you.
