Among the many accomplishments that Donald Trump has managed to achieve during his term in office thus far, one of the most under reported, but no less significant deed, is to have shone a light on mental illness in the country.  While many people manage to live among society with varying degrees of it under control,  certain segments tend to attract more then their share of those afflicted with some kind of disorder.  With the emergence of Trump, the extent of mental illness can now be seen.

It’s now clearly obvious that the entertainment and media businesses are safe places for such afflicted people.  The further we progress into the Trump presidency, the more the flimsy veneer of sanity falls away from these people.  There is no longer even the attempt at pretense of rationality.  Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing.  Are people like Brzezinski, Reid, Kimmel, Colbert and numerous other media pundits not invoking self immolation of their careers as Michael Richards did years ago in an intemperate nightclub outburst?  These people have as much credibility as Colonel Sanders at a chicken retreat.  Their rabid sputtering is so bad, you have sit further away from the TV to avoid the spittle and foam.

The Mean Girls attacks are so pervasive that they really have to jump the shark to think of new angles of attack.  The accusations of misogyny, racism and mental instability are getting kind of threadbare and seem as old as bell bottoms and shoulder pads.  Some have tried the angle of small  hands, the ridicule of bad hair of course, the junk food diet, tweeting at all hours, multiple ice cream scoops, and now the accusation of inaccess to porn.

For the record, I happen to think witty takedowns of political figures should be appreciated, but the articulate utterances of “F..k Trump!” by Bobby DeNiro falls a bit short of the mark and if anything, shows that he would do well to stick to reading lines made up by others  and not try to formulate his own. Polysyllabic epithets are clearly not his thing.

Oddly, the more naked the bleating by Trump haters, the more obvious their tenuous grip on reality.  Instead of galvanizing support for their views, these smug utterances clearly illuminates their flawed mental state and convinces rational people to align their views with the Trump camp.  Like someone mired in quicksand, the harder the Trump haters struggle, the deeper they sink.  The author Robert A Heinlein once wrote:

“…But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously… after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth…”

Or maybe it’s just a mental disorder.

After an eventful week of distraction by the revelations of the activities of Harvey Weinstein, the media is moving back to regular programming, which means identifying Donald Trump as the font of all that ails society.  In the months to come, more individuals will come out to accuse Weinstein of bad behavior and you can imagine the panic of those in top positions in Hollywood scrambling to keep their heads low as the wave of sanctimonious recriminations washes through their industry.

But all of this will pass as the real enemy still occupies the White House.  Trump derangement is a real thing as the endless wails from the usual disgruntled groups have proven over the past 10 months of his tenure.  It’s as if a massive infantile tantrum has taken hold of segments of the country.  That segment is demonstrating increasing detachment from reality as it appears that a mass psychosis has taken hold aided in large part by a complicit media.  Even psychologists are joining the chorus of wailing, well at least 100 of them…in New York.  Essentially, they feel that his rudeness and thin skin are qualities that aren’t becoming of a President.  But as most know, Psychologists are like hammers; to them, everything looks like a nail.  I’d trust a psychologist as much as I’d trust a skinny chef.

It’s clear that the majority whom are vociferously protesting whatever Trump does, are not for anything per se; they are just anti anything Trump.  It’s largely irrelevant what policies the Trump administration advances, they just cannot reconcile that he’s President.  Reducing tax burdens on the middle class are seen as oppressive; attempting to create American jobs is racist as is protecting national sovereignty.  Pushing back against disrespect for the flag is divisive;  having numerous women and minorities in his cabinet, likewise.  Then there is the scantly reported success story of the imminent demise of ISIS in the middle east, which most would consider a substantial achievement, but Trump haters will frame as denial of career options for terrorists.  There’s some rich psychological fodder there for someone.

The expected crowd of Trump haters include those with differing partisan political outlooks, so of course, they can be discounted.  Actors and entertainers  have also recently exposed their suspect judgment and credibility, so they too can be discounted and ignored.  Black Lives Matter/Occupy Wall Street are paid shills, so they’re another marginal interest group.  They’ve managed to add that champion of women’s rights, Larry Flynt to their cause, whom has graciously offered 10 million dollars to anyone bringing forth impeachable evidence against Trump.  He’s essentially Maxine Waters with money. It’ll be amusing to see what kind of ooze comes out as a result of this offer.

Ironically, the louder the cacophony of bleating from the Trump deranged, the more the regular folk fall into the Trump fold.  When normal people observe the irrational foaming at the mouth invective spewed by the Trump haters, they are forced to make a rational assessment.  Am I them?
