Title says it all, what exactly IS "Trump Derangement Syndrome"?
There are actually issues Trump brings up that I agree with him on.
For instance, when he talks about China ripping off our R&D intellectual property, I'm right there with him!
Trouble is, he won't ACTUALLY do anything about it, or if he does, it's a trade war, which will damage us, not them.
We will be hurt more by his stupid trade war, they can always go back to being the China of the Mao era, and incinerate any and all who disagree with it, because if it's one thing China can afford to do, and do well, it's repression, and they can afford to lose a few hundred million people. There is no shortage of Chinese.
So while I agree with him on some issues, my so called "derangement" has strictly to do with HIS derangement and his incompetence. He's deranged, not me. I'm just sick of his nonsense and his lies, and I am sick of people who can't distinguish a reality TV host from a leader.
There is no reality in reality TV.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is just a derisive term for bigotry directed towards Donald Trump and, more importantly, those who voted for him. It is presuming that anyone who voted for Donald Trump (or even if they did not vote for him, have the temerity to defend some of his statements or policy decisions) is an evil person until a huge amount of evidence is brought forth to prove otherwise.
I do not use the term because I think it is toxic in a debate to question or attack the mental health of an interlocutor.
