What is Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Trump Derangement Syndrome is a fairly new psychological problem.
We started seeing it very shortly after Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.
It is a recognizable phenomenon characterized by several symptoms:
1.) An absolute adoration and blind trust of a cultivated personality.
Symptoms include odd facial expressions, changes in behavior and wardrobe, sudden illegibility of social media feeds, the sudden belief that a bankrupt reality show host would make a good leader of the free world.
2.) Incapacitating Cognitive Dissonance associated with anything related to Donald Trump
Symptoms include extraordinary mental discomfort related to contradictory beliefs i.e. “Law Enforcement cannot be questioned” “the FBI is Evil” — “Corporate Media is all Fake News” “Fox News is always right”
3.) Inability to distinguish fact from Fiction
Symptoms include believing a man who lies so regularly that more falsehoods escape his lips than truth, especially when that man says someone else is lying.
4.) Loss of perspective on what Patriotism means exactly
Symptoms include tolerance of Un-American Ideals, Worship of unfriendly foreign states, respect or Tolerance for ideological influences we have literally had to go to war with at various points in history
5.) The belief that anything negative is in no way related to Donald Trump, but anything positive somehow is.
6.) Extreme levels of aggression and anger aimed at anyone unwilling to join the cult of personality
Symptoms include, oh hell, just look at them.
6.) Irrational thoughts potentially leading to criminal and terroristic behavior
Now. If you really want to understand a disease of any kind, it's a good idea to look for “patient zero”
Ladies and gentlemen we have found patient zero for Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Here he is in all his glory:
That guy. The guy deranged enough to think he was fit to lead this great nation. The guy who thinks he knows more than the generals. Or the economists. Or the professional lawmakers. Or his own lawyers. OR…hell. Anyone.
A man with a level of Narcissistic Personality Disorder so deeply ingrained that he can't let John McCain rest in his freaking grave without feeling insulted.
TDS at its core, ladies and gentlemen.
A dangerous disease we must eradicate.
Treatment involves intensive immersion in a wider pool of information sources, reading of factual documents related to presidential misdeeds, Intense self-reflection, and whiskey.
