Trump Derangement Syndrome

You’re arguing with psychosis. They’re screaming about things that aren’t there.

The first task of defeating political opponents is to understand who they are. What is it that Democrats think they’re doing? And what they think they’re doing in 2026 amounts to a relentless ritual hallucination in the service of an institutional status quo. They’re making up a fake world in their heads to protect their paychecks: in media, in academia, in government, in the results-not-required world of the nonprofit organization.

One afternoon last year, Donald Trump welcomed “a friend” to the White House – El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, the world’s most popular authoritarian. “I knew him as a very young man,” the US president said before the cameras. “He’s done a fantastic job. Mr President, it’s an honor to have you.”

Since March 2022, when gangs in El Salvador murdered 87 people over a weekend, Bukele has maintained a state of emergency in which key civil liberties are suspended and 2% of the adult population has been jailed – about 100,000 people, at least half of whom are probably not gang members, say local rights groups. The narrative of “the Bukele miracle” – that he swiftly dismantled fearsome gangs and restored order – has made him an icon across Latin America, where a new host of rightwing leaders have sought to replicate his heavy-handed tactics. And in the US, Bukele’s overnight success as a strongman has made him a hero of the American right.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former Washington Post “fact checker” Glenn Kessler was awarded the “Philip J. Klass Award for outstanding promotion of critical thinking and scientific understanding” Thursday night. But when confronted with his persistent Russia collusion hoax propaganda, Kessler insisted “there is no Russia collusion hoax.”

Thousands of American Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers really did flee to Europe in recent years, expecting to find a democratic socialist paradise — but the truly shocking part is that Wired, of all publications, revealed the schadenfreudelicious results. “Annie,” to name just one, complained about the “huge misconceptions about access to quality health care” in Britain, and she even admitted that “the quality of life is significantly lower than in the U.S.”

For weeks, the left-wing media were breathlessly reporting that the crowds for Saturday’s “No Kings” rallies were going to be enormous. It was going to be a sign of American outrage at the “imperialism and cronyism” of the Trump administration. They said people were “outraged” and would show up in huge numbers to support Democrats taking control of the U.S. Congress in the midterm election and to send President Donald Trump a message that the American people want “No Kings.”

The radical rock-and-roll leftists threw a concert in Maryland titled – what else? – the “Power to the People Festival.” The organizer was Tom Morello, the guitarist of the band Rage Against The Machine. The most celebrated guest, as it leaked out on social media, was former Biden-appointed special counsel Jack Smith, who just days earlier told a Senate hearing, “I am not a politician, and I have no partisan loyalty.”

A Wisconsin brewery spent the past year planning a party for the day President Donald Trump dies. Now it is on the verge of being shut down.

And boy, does that feel good.

By the time the police cruisers rolled up to the teenager’s home in Ohio one night in June, he and his alleged co-conspirators already had amassed guns, bullets and body armor.

He told officers he had never met the others in person. He did not appear to know their real names. They had converged online a few months earlier and, according to court affidavits, soon were developing plans for bloodshed. They arranged car pools to the nation’s capital. They mapped where to launch drones laden with explosives and where to station snipers.

Then the teenager’s mother overheard him on the phone.

Sir Paul McCartney doesn’t like President Trump. Michelle’s his belle. But Trump? He is the subject of a new song from the singer, Despite Repeated Warnings.

Sir Paul told, “People who deny climate change, I just think it’s the most stupid thing ever. So I just wanted to make a song that would talk about that and basically say, ‘Occasionally, we’ve got a mad captain sailing this boat we’re all on and he is just going to take us to the iceberg [despite] being warned it’s not a cool idea.’”

He said Trump is the Mad Captain.

At least 1,114 people are dead and 4,000 people remain missing after a deadly flood and mudslide wreaked havoc in Nepal and parts of China.

The culprit? President Donald Trump — or at least that’s what CNN wants you to think.

Three officials within the U.S. Secret Service’s communications office – including the agency’s top spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi – have been removed from their posts and stripped of their security clearances as investigators examine how classified or sensitive information reached the press, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
