Finding The Truly Deranged

THE NEWEST RIGHT WING ploy is the claim that all of the recent criticism of President Trump's policies and behavior is a symptom of "Trump Derangement Syndrome", an obsessive hatred of Trump, supposedly precipitating a never ending stream of negative criticism, utterly without merit, based entirely on out of control emotions. None of the criticism therefore,, so the ploy goes, is valid intellectually. Perhaps a quick review of the actual criticism, the most frequent complaints registered against Trump, would reveal whether the source is derangement, or fact. Much of Trump's detractors accuse the president of being an habitual liar. Whether that's true, see for yourself. You can google "Trump's lies", or read back over his tweets, if you can do so without becoming nauseated. A great deal has been made about Trump allegedly mistreating women. Listen to the famous "Access Hollywood" tape, and see for yourself. Information can maybe be gained by typing in the key words "sexual harassment claims against Trump". The internet is a wonderful tool. America's truly deranged have tended more towards attacking Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Again, search the web. Look for any indication of criminal activity on the part of Hillary Clinton. Check arrest records, indictments, convictions, sentencing arrangements. You of course will find nothing. Clinton may be a shrill woman, with a cold personality and liberal values, but in point of fact she has never had so much as a parking ticket or an overdue library book. That' a fact, a matter of public record. You'll remember that during most or all of Trump's campaign rallies, he led the crowd in a chant of "lock her up!". For what, they never specified, because they couldn't. Lock her up....because conservatives hate her? Or because Trump supporters are the truly deranged? What comes to mind about Obama is that his haters, mostly the same folks who supported and support Trump and want to lock up Hillary for being hated by deranged people, accuse Obama of being a Muslim, and of being born in Africa. That's basically all they have on him, all you hear against him. that's it. Demonstrably, provably, neither of these accusations is true, and in any event, even if they were, so what? Being born in Africa is an accusation made by a deranged racist. Of those, unfortunately, this country is full. But none of them oppose Trump.
