Among many far-left Democrats, there is an uncontrollable hatred of President Donald Trump. These individuals suffer from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a condition that Dr. Drew Pinsky, a board-certified physician and addiction specialist, said infects “people that get tied up in the hysteria…people that are suggestible, hypnotizable, the ones that feel out of control…have an external locus of control….detached…from their internal feelings…and placed everything out here.”
This syndrome is raging among the left as the latest Real Clear Politics poll average shows President Trump leading in a two way race against President Joe Biden. Trump’s lead is even greater when five presidential candidates, such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are included in the polling.
As Biden has been committing more embarrassing gaffes and President Trump has been raising huge amounts of money since his unfair and politicized conviction in New York, many leftwing Democrats are starting to believe their candidate will lose. In May, President Trump outraised his opponent by a staggering $60 million and this advantage will likely continue in the months to come.
Despite Biden’s big money contributors in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, Trump is starting to connect with major donors in an unprecedented way. For example, billionaire banking heir, Timothy Mellon, donated an astounding $50 million to a pro-Trump Super PAC after his guilty verdict was announced in New York.
With a frail Biden stumbling into preparations for his CNN debate against President Trump on Thursday night in Atlanta, GA, prominent Democrats are starting to get nervous. Joy Behar, one of the leftwing hosts of The View on ABC, is concerned that, if elected, Trump may “get us off the air.”
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow believes that another Trump term is a threat to “everyone…in the country.” She laughably mused that Trump would try to “destroy” his “internal enemies” if he wins again. Maddow is “worried about all of us” suffering if Trump is elected again on a mission to exact vengeance.
Obviously, these leftists are so consumed by their hatred of Trump, they have not bothered to learn anything about him. If elected, he will have more important things to do than worry about his myriads of media critics.
He has said repeatedly that “success” will be his revenge against his many crazed enemies. He will be focused on living up to his promise to “Make America Great Again,” not cancelling shows featuring Rachel Maddow or Joy Behar or jailing them. As evidence, we can refer to his first term when both of their shows continued to air, without interference from President Trump.
With serious afflictions of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” these far-left fanatics are disconnected from reality. Clearly, the individual suffering from the worst case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is his former opponent Hillary Clinton, who is still bitter about losing to him in the 2016 presidential election.
In a November 2023 interview on The View, Clinton said a second Trump term “would be the end of our country as we know it.” She said the threat was “even worse now” than in 2016 because his administration would be filled “with people who have no principles, no conscience, who are totally tied to his fortunes, literally, and therefore would do whatever he said.” She claimed it would create “wreckage” that would be “almost unimaginable.”
If elected again, Clinton fumed that Trump will “throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets, do what he can to undermine the rule of law and country’s values.”
Of course, Clinton is describing what the Biden Justice Department has done to Trump, some of his closest advisors, January 6th protestors, and a variety of concerned parents, pro-life activists, traditional Catholics and second amendment supporters.
Hillary, name the prominent Democrats that President Trump charged with phony crimes or tried to jail? What left-wing press outlets did he attempt to destroy? Trump has even agreed to appear on CNN, a Trump-hating network. Not only did he participate in a 2023 CNN town hall event, but he will also appear in their debate on Thursday night.
As usual, Democrats are projecting their tactics on President Trump. In a recent podcast interview, U.S. Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that President Trump would throw her “in jail” because he is “out of his mind.” Yet, the Biden Justice Department is currently working overtime to throw President Trump in jail prior to the 2024 election.
Ocasio-Cortez claimed that a Trump victory would mean the “potential dissolution of democracy in the United States of America.” However, by trying to jail President Trump, the leading candidate in the upcoming election, the Biden administration is launching the biggest attack on “democracy” in American history. Not surprisingly, Ocasio-Cortez has no problem with the multiple investigations, indictments, and criminal counts that President Trump and his supporters are facing.
Not to be outdone, in a Saturday interview on MSNBC, U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) expressed concerns about her “safety” and “the safety of members of Congress” if Trump does not win. Waters claims that many of Trump supporters are “racist” and because of his desire for “revenge” there is a real threat to “millions of people.” Waters predicts that America could be in for “more killings” like the “insurrection” if Trump is “not elected” for another term as President.
Once again, a Democrat is guilty of projection because it was Congresswoman Waters who told a crowd of supporters in 2018 that “If you see anybody from (Trump’s) Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”
Even worse, several weeks ago, Waters called Trump supporters “domestic terrorists” and wondered if they were “preparing a civil war against us?”
The hateful rhetoric is not coming from President Trump. Instead, it is being spewed by Democrats afflicted with the leftwing contagion known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
