The Derangement Is Real

Source: Brzezinski says Trump complains he cant watch porn in White House

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.
