Trump Derangement Syndrome (2015- ), also known as TDS or Trumpophobia, is an irrational fear or hatred of US President Donald Trump that causes cognitive impairment. It broke out in the US in 2015, where it reached pandemic proportions in 2017, affecting 48% of the adult population, 71% of Blacks.
Symptoms:
- hysteria,
- frenzy,
- hyperventilation,
- emotional meltdown,
- Russophobia,
- Watergate comparisons,
- Hitler comparisons,
- opposing all Trump policies,
- attending street protests and town halls,
- calls for impeachment (in advanced stages).
Causes:
- Mainstream Media (left-wing press).
Cures:
- Republican Bubble (right-wing press).
Patient Zero: One of the first recorded cases was Jennifer Rubin, a right-wing opinion writer for the Washington Post. On August 9th 2015 she wrote:
“The Fox News debate moderators treated Donald Trump like any other presidential candidate. […] Trump and his supporters then spent a good deal of Friday bellyaching that Fox had been too tough on him. He crudely insulted Megyn Kelly [… saying she] ‘had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.'”
Bellyaching? Trump as a bully? Rubin’s cognitive impairment is a clear case of TDS.
Three days later George Will, another right-wing opinion writer for the Washington Post, called Trump “vulgar.” Another case of TDS.
Epidemic: Esther Goldberg of the American Spectator warned the nation that Rubin and Will were suffering from TDS. The CDC, the US government’s centre for disease control, while quick to move against Ebola, did nothing about TDS. The disease spread throughout the Mainstream Media and then across the US. The north-east, the west coast and Hawaii have been the hardest hit, infecting even judges and small children.
By May 14th 2017, 48% of the US adult population was suffering from advanced stages of TDS, wanting Trump impeached.
By May 16th TDS was observed in Britain by James Delingpole of Breitbart News. Here is his eyewitness account:
“To listen to my debate opponents you would have imagined that the US had recently elected to the presidency a cross between It the Clown, the Boston Strangler, Dr Strangelove and Alger Hiss. I’m fine with a bit of extravagant rhetoric but there were several moments where both Melanie’s and my jaw dropped at the outrageousness of the charges levelled […] at the Trump administration.'”
Mainstream Media outlets, like CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post itself, have advanced stages of the disease. They go nuts over every little thing President Trump says or does, like nepotism, hiding his business dealings, endangering national security, lying, obstructing justice, and giving away secrets to the Russians. Every day is Crazy Town, a crisis – well, at least the last nine days (May 9th to 17th 2017), along with many of the days before that.
Hope: Fortunately other news outlets, like Fox News, RT, and Breitbart News, are still free of the disease. So when CNN and MSNBC, say, talk about “obstruction of justice” by Trump, they can still warn the nation that it is nothing more than hysteria by the Mainstream Media.

“Trumpophobia, is an irrational fear or hatred of US President Donald Trump that causes cognitive impairment.”
I do not know where you got your figures from; however, I agree with the thought.
I spend at least 50% of my time reading the conservative publications. I believe you should include the unrealistic believe in “the trumpster” along with the “Trumpophobia”.
Those are the people who if “the Donald” survives the new investigation will put him back into office for the second term, because they are in the 5 swing states.
Please go back 8 years to the beginning of the anti-Obama movement “TheTea Party” to find the same type of condition; however there is no glue to the current “Trumpopobia except the same old lack of any political awareness of actual fact.
The Special prosecutor may or may not help, because it may take him over a year to get to any actual facts that can be used to change the 2018 election.
Good description of the old chicken little saying “the sky is falling”.

TDS may be spreading. According to McClatchy DC, some Republican donors are in a tizzy because of the turmoil engulfing the White House. The article notes:

But considering Democrats don’t control Congress and he’s already a candidate in the 2020 election, I think he intends to stick out this term to reap more money and then drop out of the race sometime during next campaign season.

I don’t see anything wrong with reporting or “go[ing] nuts over” the facts, but what about the abagonds of the world who used fabricated scare tactics during the campaign and continue to push false accusations. That’s the real TDS.
There’s plenty negative to report, so there’s really no need to make up 5h!t.

RT is hardly the only news outlet I have called propagandistic. I have said the same of Breitbart, Fox News and MSNBC – and yet no one got defensive about it. No one characterized my opinions as allegations, accusations, lies, propaganda or some kind of nefarious project. This goes beyond a mere disagreement.
So why all the defensiveness about RT?

“Russian apologists”. That’s the problem right there. Call it what you will. Or rather, I do. Allegation. Accusation. A statement that such and such condition exists is an allegation. Presumptions about such things as lack of seriousness are accusations. You’ve made both. False statements are lies unless such statements are made in ignorance.

Stating facts to refute abagond and his cohorts’ incorrect information is not defending. It’s as if someone said BMW is headquarted in America, and I corrected them by saying it’s in Germany, then they turned around and labeled me a German apologist.
Clearly abagond’s too smart to use such puerile logic, so it must be sheer dishonesty.

@”RT as propagandistic, with examples”
Stating his opinions or someone else’s opinions about RT is not proof. Nowhere did abagond provide an example of RT using propaganda. That’s why he linked to two whole thread on his blog instead of providing a specific example from RT itself (straight from the horse’s mouth).
Another great example of how abagond misleads his readers.

More personal attacks, not actual facts. The fact is I’ve stated “I don’t read/watch RT regularly, so what do I know.” I’ve never said RT was not propagandist. I simply asked abagond to substantiate his claims, multiple times, and he did not.
That’s why he’s so upset. Someone dared challenge him on his claims.

I don’t know how asking abagond to substantiate a claim is somehow being “defensive”?
I think a reasonable, unbiased observer would consider abagond defensive for falsely accusing me of being a “Russian troll”, “Russian apologist” or having “drunk [RT’s] Kool-Aid” without proof, for doing nothing but questioning his unsubstantiated claims and correcting his many
liesmisstatements.LikeLiked by 1 person
@abagond
not defensive. just correcting errors you apparently accept uncritically and keep repeating when coming from western sources which are russophobic and, as is well documented, is propaganda in themselves: and asking for proof. since you are uncritical in accepting the anti Russian anti RT lies and distortions of propagandistic Deep State controlled MSM, and that includes its socalled media watchdogs like rationalwiki, that’s makes you a disseminator of theirs lies and propaganda.
as for your recent false allegation that I pointed out, you even contradict yourself
