Dear Editor
I would like to share with your readers a story regarding one of the truly unfathomable phenomena of our time, that of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
As I arrived home relatively early one evening recently, my wife suggested we go to our nearest pub for a quick drink. My arm didn’t need much twisting. I take every opportunity these days before pubs are shut for ever under islamophobia blasphemy law the progressive left are pushing through remorselessly!
However, I’d forgotten it was Thursday, which meant couple X and Y would be there. Jane spotted them and said we can’t be rude and must say hello. They purport to have a right-wing (they’re conservative voters) model of things, and being slightly older than ourselves would not be expected to espouse the views of the luxury belief/entitled class. However, the only thing we agree on is immigration. They’re pro-Europe (Y wants to spend more time in Spain golfing!), climate alarmists, hate Farage, Ukraine good/Russia bad, TR is racist and were pro-lockdown.
But the topic that engenders by far the biggest emotional outpouring is Donald Trump. Both of them but the woman in particular suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. I recall a past conversation with her:
X: ‘I don’t like him.’
Me: ‘Do you know him personally?’
X: ‘No.’
Me: ‘Well, I think what you mean is you disagree with his policies, which under a liberal democracy he’s entitled to hold.’
X: ‘I don’t like what he said about women.’
Me: ‘Can you tell me verbatim what he said?’
X: ‘No . . . he’s a crook and a convicted felon.’
Me: ‘He was convicted under a completely biased judicial system, the Supreme Court is politically appointed, and in any case a witness later admitted lying under oath.’
And finally last night,
X: ‘He’s dangerous.’
I hadn’t the heart to tell her this narrative comes straight from the CCP playbook.
You get the picture. I’m convinced once someone has TDS it’s terminal and cannot be expunged. It also may be the most impactful of the pretend enemies of covid, climate change, Russia amd Tommy Robinson so effectively use by the globalist cabal.
