Trump Derangement Syndrome
Much of the out of power left wing in our country is
literally unhinged. They seem to suffer
from a malady called “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, a hatred of Trump so strong
that it overcomes all traces of balanced and rational reasoning about the
politics of the country. They do not
represent any sort of meaningful political opposition to Trump’s populism, just
a strident, rabid, anti-Trump diatribe.
They in fact border on treason and sedition by letting this
hatred of Trump, the man, run to complete mental unbalance that calls for
violence and revolution. They call
themselves the “resistance”, as if they were in Spain in the 1930’s or Nazi
occupied Europe in the 1940’s. A better
term for them is “obstructionists”, since they obstruct any meaningful
political dialogue or progress.
The most recent trend of the left is a slide even further
left aimed at outright socialism, abolishing ICE, opening our borders,
promoting sanctuary cities/states, backing Antifa and BLM violence and riots –
and on and on.
Now Trump’s recent trip to Europe and his meetings with
NATO, UK and Putin were not his finest hour, particularly as regards media
optics. We don’t know what was discussed
in his one-on-one meetings with Putin, but the public parts of his trip did not
look all that good. Now if he had been
any of his left wing, media darling predecessors, he would have received a
ho-hum, and perhaps some mild criticism.
Not Trump. If crucifixion were
still a punishment, the left wing establishment would be pounding in the
nails. Some of this Trump Derangement Syndrome
cabal were calling for impeachment because Trump did not call Putin a liar
about the involvement of the GRU in our 2016 election process, in response to
recognition seeking reporters.
Apparently it did not occur to the biased MSM that perhaps Trump and
Putin discussed more weighty matters, such as Ukraine, Syria, North Korea, Russian
aggression, sanctions, etc.
The abuses of Trump by the left have no recent
precedent. I can imagine that the abuses
of Lincoln by the slave holding south were worse, but there was no instant
world-wide communication in the 1850-60’s to disseminate them. The fact that so many Americans of that
“silent majority” these days watch Fox News and eschew a good part of the MSM
indicates that they are not fooled by all of the left wing anti-Trump rhetoric.
And of course Trump continues being Trump, with continuing
ego, bluster, showmanship and reality show demeanor. He is sometimes embarrassing, almost
paranoiac (Who would not be paranoiac after threats of violence and continued
vituperation against himself, his family and staff?). Then he promotes valid,
conservative principles (and judges), and many of we republicans/libertarians
forgive him for his seeming paranoia and buffoonery.
Not much will change Trump’s base, as evidenced in 2016,
because all of the noise emanates from the same coastal and urban elitist
sources that similarly vocalized a lost cause for Hillary in 2016 – the left
wing main stream media, Hollywood and its minions, George Soros and similar
deep pockets agitators, the vocal, obstructionist left. Also, if the democrats continue their movement
even further left, toward socialism, obstructionism, open borders, sanctuary
cities and against law and order, their chances of them attaining pluralities
in either house of congress seem slim. There
may not be a red wave in 2018, but it is dubious that the wave will be blue.
The left wing anti-Trump media is beside itself because
Trump was not more overtly aggressive with Putin in Helsinki. I guess they expected Trump to call Putin a
liar to his face in an international forum, to assuage notoriety-seeking
reporters. The fact that Trump admitted
that he made a semantic mistake that resulted in a misinterpretation that he
disbelieved the U.S. intelligence community about Russian interference in the
U.S. 2016 election, and instead believed Putin, makes no difference whatever in
the left’s continuing diatribe.
It would not have made any difference whether or not Trump believed
Putin and advertised it loudly, since the indictments against 25 civilian and
GRU Russians are moot and will never result in prosecutions. The accused are Russian nationals and
untouchable. These indictments are for
show only that the high priced Mueller lawyers are doing something.
It’s amazing that the whole left wing, government, media,
intelligentsia, forgets that Trump in his 18 months in office has been tougher
on Russia than the Obama administration was in their full eight years. This article presents the facts. http://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/397212-president-trump-is-tougher-on-russia-in-18-months-than-obama-in-eight
