Greggy has it:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_derangement_syndrome


Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a derogatory term for criticism or negative reactions to United States President Donald Trump that are alleged to be irrational and have little regard towards Trump's actual positions or actions taken.[2] The term has been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of his actions, as a way of "reframing" the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.

Definition

Fareed Zakaria defined the syndrome as "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people’s judgment."[10][11] CNN's editor-at-large Chris Cillizza called TDS "the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose him and his policies as nothing more than the blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and free speech."[2] Pointing to previous allegations of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome, Cillizza suggested, "Viewed more broadly, the rise of presidential derangement syndromes is a function of increased polarization – not to mention our national self-sorting – at work in the country today."[2] Bret Stephens has described the term as something used by conservative groups whenever someone speaks out critically against Trump, regardless of political affiliation.[12]

This is a perfect example of Trump Derangement Syndrom.  Light is so desperate to defend him that, even after having it explained in great detail that this image is fake, because he can't defend Trump but his TDS forces him to, he resorts to posting things like this anyway.

Fake:

Here is the real image:

And his other fellow sufferers will come out in support, just like Serial.

I mean, if we're just posting fake images, I guess I'll just post this too,

Well, Trump certainly let it rip...

The ones who actually suffer from TDS are those who blindly support Trump no matter what he actually does. 

They've been trained to ignore the truth, ignore the facts and instead seek out the opinions of others that they like, considering those facts, ensure they live in a nice pro-Trump bubble where they cry when anyone start talking about the truth or the fact.

They get triggered so easily into spamming about anyone and everyone else be it Trump's opponents or even posters they don't agree with here, on twitter, YouTube comment, Facebook, Reddit etc, claiming they're paedophiles or all guilty of what Trump is accused of because they can't actually defend Trump's actions, but they have to defend him somehow.

Light probably suffers from it the worst out of anyone here, with Serial/Mech and Rich tying for second.

But to follow their script, they'll accuse me or anyone who doesn't support their fake news of having TDS too.

Good luck with that.  Maybe you should spam some more conspiracy theories or post for fake memes?

You're a meme warrior after all (another tell tale sign of TDS)...

It factually happened in 2016 and Trump had asked Ukraine to become involved in 2020 by undermining a potential opponent. Trump invited Russia to hack the DNC mail server in 2016 - they did and trumps campaign benefited. This is known fact. Now we have a play to damage a Trump re election opponent in 2020 by a foreign nation once again directly invited by Trump but in this case even worse because they had been blackmailed into helping.

Yes the US political system has been shown to be that fragile, they have states that cannot even be trusted to count the votes. With one election won by 5 votes to 3 in the high court and no they never did count the votes.

The US still have poor areas where votes are less likely to be counted simply because the ballot machines are less reliable, less accurate and more difficult to use.

So the most first world country is third world because it doesnt elect commies.

From the Guardian - of course.




I’m neither the calmest nor the most anxious person. But as Donald Trump’s presidential victory seems more certain by the minute, I feel sick to my stomach with worry. I hoped to go to sleep on election night knowing Harris had won, and that we were safe. But that is not what was in store for us.

The anxiety I’m feeling right now started months ago. During the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, my hair began falling out and one of my eyelids started twitching. Classic signs of stress, said a doctor friend. On Halloween, talking with a colleague, I realized that we looked and sounded the way people look and sound outside the intensive care unit, as they wait to learn whether a friend or relative will survive.

Your deranged misrepresentation and misunderstanding of history.

You are, moronically, claiming that Trump will be like FDR who was elected prez in 1940 for an unprecedented third consequtive Democratic term. And from positioning Trump as a continuation of FDR, you conclude that he is Really Hitler!

You are idnorant beyond words, augmented by seething stupidity.

To be fair, the US has been decommitting foreign military support and globalisation since Obama.

What drove post-WW2 US commitment to patrolling sea lanes and protecting its allies with boots on the ground was its need to contain Soviet communism - perceiving it as in the interests of national security.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, successive US administrations maintained their direct involvement in world security until the fiasco of the Iraq War after 9/11 and the catastrophe of Afghanistan - which the Obama Administration tried to extricate the US from but backed off as it risked an ignominious withdrawal. The Trump Administration was hobbled by COVID, but Trump let the cat out of the bag to the Taliban that he would withdraw from Afghanistan in his expected successive second term, thereby forcing the Biden Administration to follow through as the Taliban were now aware that the US did not have the will to continue and had become emboldened by that.

Since Obama through Trump then Biden the US has been decommitting from its world security guarantee.

The second Trump Administration will continue this decommitment with only a handful of countries on the exception list - Australia being one... for now - the reason being that the US wants to ensure access to as much of the world's minerals required for new energy production.

It was not "decommitment from the world" to recognise, this time in Afghanistan after 20 years of futile efforts, that there is no helping people who will not help themselves.

American generosity and naivete (like Soviet naivete half a century before and British naivete before that) had to end. The converts to Allah are beyond help.

The Bush 2 Administration took up Charlie Wilson's dream of bringing the 20th century to Afghanistan.

Charlie Wilson managed to inspire the Carter and Reagan Administrations to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan by arming the Mujahadeen, but could not convince the Reagan Administration to rebuild Afghanistan in a 'Western image'.

The Bush 2 Administration took on the idea...

Didn't work.

Quote: Trump derangement syndrome The right do not get that: Yes Trump does have the group of symptoms associated with derangement.

“Journalism’s Bleak Future—Trump Is Obsessed With Destroying the Media.”

So wrote one Dara Brewton, identified as an “actress and writer,” for Newsweek a fortnight after the election. I wonder if she’s any good as an actress? If only Mr. Trump were obsessed with destroying the media! If only it were possible for him—or anyone else—to do so. Ah well, I can dream, can’t I?

But I was amused at the headline—not so much by the preposterousness of saying that anyone as much a creature of the media as Donald Trump could be out to destroy the media, nor even that someone at Newsweek (as opposed to some obscure Substack) thought this an arguable point of view for an opinion piece in a respectable online magazine. Rather, I was struck by the irony-blindness of both Ms. Brewton and Newsweek in advancing her hypothesis without making any mention of the media’s decade-long obsession with destroying Mr. Trump.



If Mr. Trump is to have a hope of “destroying” anything, it must instead be the public’s continuing willingness to believe the media when it presents its self-righteous malice as a disinterested quest for virtue and truth in public life. And there are signs—mainly in the oft-remarked decline of public trust in the media, which is now, in the wake of the election, even lower than before—that more and more people are catching on to the kind of game the media have long been playing with our politics.

In other  words, the TDS media is projecting furiously. They accuse Trump and their political opponents with exactly what they are doing. Which is why they are losing credibility.

And the TDS kids here are a microcosm copy of that bigger picture: obscessive projecting of their own derangements.

Quote: Trump derangement syndrome The right do not get that: Yes Trump does have the group of symptoms associated with derangement.

An irony-blindness similar to Ms. Brewton’s was evident a few days earlier in a Guardian piece by Joan E. Greve, headed “‘No time to pull punches’: is a civil war on the horizon for the Democratic party?” She wrote:

Joe Biden stood before the American people, millions of whom were still reeling from the news of Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential race, and reassured them: “We’re going to be OK.”

In his first remarks since his vice-president and chosen successor, Kamala Harris, lost the presidential election, Biden delivered a pep talk from the White House Rose Garden on a sunny Thursday that clashed with Democrats’ black mood in the wake of their devastating electoral losses. Biden pledged a smooth transfer of power to Trump and expressed faith in the endurance of the American experiment. . . . The message severely clashed with the dire warnings that many Democrats, including Biden, have issued about the dangers of a second Trump term. They have predicted that Trump’s return to power would jeopardize the very foundation of American democracy.

In other words (not hers), either Mr. Biden is lying now or he was lying then. I wonder which Ms. Greve believed to be the case? The answer, apparently, is that she never asked herself the question. Instead, she went through a whole litany of possible reasons for the Democrats’ loss without ever mentioning that maybe, just maybe, the real reason was that the American people had clearly seen what she herself had only momentarily glimpsed: that all the campaign rhetoric about Mr. Trump’s “threat to democracy” was just a scare tactic and that the Trump-voting majority had spotted this rhetorical fakery long before Mr. Biden implicitly acknowledged it in his Rose Garden statement and with his subsequent cordial meeting with Mr. Trump in the White House.

At least Ms. Greve was willing to entertain the idea that the Democrats’ loss might have been owing to something that the party had done wrong—perhaps with their unceremonious dumping of Mr. Biden and the installation in his place of someone who apparently had no ideas of her own to run on and who had never won an election outside of the one-party state of California. Lots of elected Democrats thought the same, or at least deemed it politic to claim that they thought the same and that they were looking close to home for explanations of why they lost.

trump understands how people "work"

in 2015 , trump saw that the left were really "picking on " white males.

trump, very cleverly thought

"if i present myself as having all the behaviours the left hate , they will come after me"

trump runs for prez.

the left "up the ante"

trump plays the left.

they increase the rhetoric

every time they attack trump, the millions of young white dudes who would NEVER normally vote, feel that they are being further attacked

trump continues to agitate and stir

the left spiral further out of control

they are going crazy with the trans stuff and the anti family stuff and the anti patriotic stuff as a reaction to trump

now black men and hispanic men feel that the family is under attack and that their religion is under attack

now the wives of white men and the mothers of white men feel their husbands and sons are under attack from the left

trump increases the trolling

the left increase their extreme agenda as a reaction to trump

now the wives and daughters and sons see their daddy who is a working man being crapped on because he isnt university educated and because he is straight and because he goes to church


trump becomes the lightning rod for well over half the country

the more he is attacked the more he gains support

he gets his ear shot and still the left attack him as hitler

his fans continue to skyrocket

the media are desperate to save jo

"Jo is as sharp as he's ever been. Jo is the msartest guy in the room" says the mainstream

Jo goes on a debate and trump lets him hang himself

now the mainstream are disgraced and revealed as liars




trump dernagment syndrome is easy to define

trump trolled the left and they gave him exactly what he wanted

instead of ignoring him, they paid such close attention to him, they made him the most powerful man on the planet

and now the are going to double down on their derangment  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

^^^^^ There's absolutely no way I am going to read that mega word salad.

CEOs rush to bend the knee to Donald Trump
From Silicon Valley to Wall Street, even corporate opponents have been bending over backwards to meet the U.S. president-elect

CEOs of TikTok, Meta, Apple and Google have already gone to Mar-a-Lago and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, who's donated to Democrats in the past and whose wife served as an ambassador during the Obama administration, is expected to meet with Trump on Tuesday.

During a press conference Monday, Trump said, “The first term everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend. I don't know. My personality changed or something."


Tech leaders are eager to have a seat at the table, especially when the incoming administration sets policy on artificial intelligence. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and AI startup Perplexity are each expected to donate $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Amazon and Meta also contributed the same amount.


Founder of Amazon and Blue Sky Jeff Bezos said as much earlier this month when asked about his thoughts on the incoming administration.

“(Trump) seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. And my point of view, if I can help him do that, I’m gonna help him," Bezos said.

On Monday, Trump confirmed Bezos will visit Mar-a-Lago sometime this week.

Mght be the other way around?

But, I doubt it.

Elon Musk depicted as Donald Trump's 'First Lady' Elonia in bizarre memes

"First Lady Elonia"

;D

Hilarious!

Good point:



In a time of hyperpartisanship, where “stop Trump at all costs” has become the norm, Fetterman’s laid-back personality and willingness to reach across the aisle are a breath of fresh air.

Relentlessly critiquing every move Trump makes simply because it’s Trump is a losing strategy for Democrats—and for the country.

If Democrats want a shot at winning another presidential election—and actually serving the American people as they claim to do—they need to take a page from the Fetterman playbook: call balls and strikes as they see them, judge Trump’s ideas on their merits, and focus on working together instead of losing their minds over every little thing.

Sorry, aren't they the big tech globalists farming everybody for clickbait?

Only a few months ago, you were aghast. Despicable stuff, you said. They're farming you for their algorithms.

Year 9 maths, we said.

No no, you said, it's far more complicated than that. These people are leftards. Despicable Deep State globalist shills. First they vax you, then they plough you and seed for crops. Before long, you're walking around with corn growing out of your bottom.

Oh, I know, we said. You've got it growing out of your ears. When you're not glued to Sky News, you're clicking on Elon's retweets. Bezos was the worst, remember? You felt ever so sorry for all those Amazonian workers, slaving away in the heat. Amazon needs to be banned, you said. Zuckerberg?

A total creep. The sooner they regulate social media, the better. Break up the monopolies, you said. Turn them into publishers, that'll fix them. The leftards won't be happy then - SO UNFAIR !!!

So if you'll forgive me, I'm curious.

What changed?

Yes, but the Superior Man is a little bit stable. Direct, reliable, hand on the tiller, steady as she goes.

Like an Israeli tank commander ploughing through the Sinai desert. Fixed upon his objective, never flinching, unwavering in his resolve. What kind of man?

A Superior Man, it is sure. An exemplar to the young, a model for the youth of today. They line up to high-five him as he passes, awestruck by his presence. Not so much a man as a God.

You need to pay attention, JS. He's also a little bit flexible. He changes his plans with the wind. Leftard, retard, it's all good. The "noble Jeff" gets that. He used to be a real old meanie, but he's cool now.

Four dimensional chess, innit.

Trump derangement syndrome

Yes the Deranged Trump looks like being around for a while longer.

So how, exactly, do we handle anger? Here is a series of suggestions that Seneca makes in order to help us prevent anger in the first place, as compiled by translator Robert Kaster for his introductory essay to the Univ of Chicago Press edition of On Anger:

(i) Avoid people, activities, and circumstances you know are likely to provoke anger.

(ii) Make your best effort to judge other people’s intentions and act fairly and accurately.

(iii) Consider grounds for excusing other people’s mistakes, if possible.

(iv) Reasonably assess yourself and your own actions. After all, you may be the one at fault.

(v) Use humor, and look at things calmly, in a detached manner.

(vi) Consider the costs of anger.

(vii) Remind yourself that whoever is wronging you actually suffers from their own wrongdoing, because their conscience will be troubled.

(viii) Remember that doing harm to another person is contrary to the fundamentally cooperative nature of humanity.

Seneca also advises us to build a soothing environment around ourselves, for instance by decorating our rooms in colors that help us relax, or by playing music. He says to never engage in important discussions when we’re tired, hungry, or sick, because this interferes with our ability to conduct ourselves reasonably and prosocially.

Is it a syndrome when Trump really is deranged ?
