I think I recall reading recently that psychologists were saying there's a mental illness associated with liberals wrt Trump, where they are against anything he's proposing, even when it's perfectly sensible.
It's disheartening to see how many adults are completely consumed with idiocy regarding Trump.
Sure the guy has a unorthodox style, and you can disagree with his policy positions, but the nonstop catastrophizing from supposedly mature adults is shameful.
Anytime someone is presented as 100% good or 100% bad, it's propaganda, plain and simple.
Trump's speech was excellent. He makes a great cheerleader for the USA. Sure he stretches the truth a lot. Sure everything he does is "big and beautiful". The stock market reaction the next morning showed clearly the enthusiastic response to the speech.
The clarity of delivery was excellent. The hope for the future was excellent (delusional?).
Trump is such a breath of fresh air after Biden's tyrannical ranting.
Nuts how many people are more interested in the downfall of Trump than they are with the improvement of the United States. Higher employment, less taxes, lower health care costs, reduced wars, better food/pharma, eliminating govt handouts to the unentitled, etc. These are ALL objectively good things for our country.
There's a lot of emotional dysfunction in our society.
It’s like an entire team throwing the game because they don’t like their team captain. Sure you may not be inspired in such circumstances but do you really want your team to lose? They are so fanatical about Trump getting the credit or a positive legacy that they aren’t just pouting on the bench refusing to play, they are throwing literal hand grenades at their own players to ensure a loss while cheering on the opponents more loudly than the opponents own fans. It’s disgusting. I’ll never vote for a Democrat candidate again now that I see behind their curtain and what kind of souls I’d be supporting.
Emotional dysfunction is a good term for it. That's the essence of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" - hatred of Trump prevents seeing or acknowledging any of the good things he is doing (or even the "less worse" things).
A more healthy approach would be: "Okay, I'm skeptical about that or it's not enough so let's do even better, okay?"
Yah, seems doubling down on "Trump is literally h!tler" and "the GOP wants authoritarianism" and "the right hates children and science" ad infinitum is preferable to actual critical thinking.
Actually, I think it is truly mental dysfunction. Well, I'm splitting hairs on this issue. They are truly emotionally and mentally unstable. Pretty scary.
And that covers a LOT of people! So many people will disagree on one (maybe two) points and their brain completely shuts off not allowing them to see any good from the "other side".
Agree - I thought he was clear, on point & had great chart visuals. I don’t get the accusations of shouting, and I liked that he was focused & didn’t ramble. One of his best speeches. It’s amazing what’s been accomplished so far; especially with a corrupt media & lazy Congress. RFK’s HHS is doing big things and I know there’s more good news to come. I understand people are impatient & fearful of business as usual, but We are so fortunate to have this administration, we may never experience such an exceptional group of people again in our lifetime.
It was a great speech in that it was inspiring. There is no doubt 2025 has been far, far better than the Biden years.
I have to balance that with the fact that no "official" source is clear and truthful about "inflation" - the people are being given a load of crap so we don't freak out about reality.
RFK is making great progress.
Overall my concern / problem is that we have been handed a bunch of sugar so that reality tastes better currently. The fundamental problems haven't been fixed, but we sure have taken a good step in the right direction.
It's important to understand Trump's personality: he isn't "lying" he is just doing typical salesperson "hype" (which many people would call lies because it isn't an accurate portrayal of reality - sort of like calling a used car a "great car" - well it's great in that it's better than nothing if it runs and gets you to work but a Yugo isn't a Mercedes).
Nobody I know would watch it. Because………Trump. They will just hook into their foul cancerous media the next day and find out how they should feel. Who they should hate. I know, I need different acquaintances but this town seems a polluted well of libs bobbing around.
Trump is never going to win over those who suffer from TDS. But, there’s millions of low information voters without TDS. TDS has infected most of my community.
Same sitch here. I sort of like the my spiked blonde hairs on my head to remain on said head! So, I mosey on down the beach promenade with my adorable pups and sing lalalala dee dee da, slap the fakest smile on my face and ignore the insanity.
I will never forget Biden's angry speech with fists clenched and a red background with soldiers behind him. Talk about Hitleresque. I forget what it was about. Was he haranguing us to take the dead baby poison death shot? I think he called half the country "semi-fascists," whatever that is. All I remember is shock, disbelief, and my blood running cold as I realized these people really are vicious totalitarians and they don't even hide it any more. This fearless if occasionally schlocky salesman with gut instincts that put pretty much everyone else to shame is a gift from God. I hope we don't blow it and refuse to support his people in the midterms. If the USA can be rescued from collapse it will be the first time in history a dying republic recovered. I pray he can pull it off, and that voters will do their part.
The man can't do anything right, according to the left. And so they latch onto the only thing they can....his posture and his delivery. And they twist it just like their panties get in a twist anytime he makes sense. Was everything he said perfect? No. Was it, for the most part, concise and clear? Absolutely. And the left just can't handle that their version of a president was far less capable than the current sitting President. It's quite pathetic.
Concise and clear was very refreshing. Watching the speech was a rare instance where I didn't feel like I was wasting my time. Of course it annoys the heck out of me how the public is misled about inflation.
The whole inflation thing is a hot topic for me. The population is very misled. The idea that the Central Banks *intentionally* want inflation horrifies me. It's nice to have the refreshing change of the past year, so much better than Biden's disaster, but the news that the Central Banks have cranked up the printing presses has me concerned for next year.
Of course the idiots on the left will blame it on "tariffs" (no, sorry, tariffs do NOT cause inflation).
It’s ruining their movie. Their entire philosophy and ideology is completely scripted and Trump isn’t following the script. He shut off their cameras, closed their book, and chose reality. They hate that.
You forgot the most memorable Joe Biden rant... Remember when he was lit in red light, flanked with two armed military soldiers behind him and said essentially that anyone who did not vote for him was considered a domestic terrorist and a threat to democracy?
The answer to your question is - yes. The media do expect you to check your eyes, ears and brain at the door and believe only what they tell you. They demonstrated that for four years with Biden's declining health. Why change now?
You are also right that no matter how Trump presents himself, they will always find fault. Trump said it himself, he could find the cure for cancer, and they still wouldn't be able to bring themselves to say something positive. But at the end of the day, does anybody really even listen to them anymore? They are like the Charlie Brown teacher in Peanuts - just noise.
His evil words to the unvaxxed. I read up on how to refuse to open your door to anyone legally. It was a very scary time and I was sure there would be no holds barred rounding up of us.
I have to admit during the speech I asked my husband why is he yelling and speaking so fast like he's trying to keep up with a runaway teleprompter, lol. But the content of the speech was perfect. Probably the best speech ever! Yuge...lol. classic Trump. Loved it.
He has a problem with rambling off on tangents. Suzie made it clear he had exactly 20 mins only and not a second more to get it ALL out, and it was important for everyone to hear every last word of his speech/accomplishments so there was no room for hyperbole and antidotes. It was a race against the clock and he had to stay on point. For someone like him that had to be the most stressful speech of his career. But he did it.
I think they expect most people (i.e. those with TDS) get their news about Trump and what he says from them, not directly at the source. When my sister finally woke up it was because she watched Trump for himself and compared it to what they were saying about him.
When a person with TDS says “Trump said….” I respond with “ Did you hear him say it or did you read that he said it?” That makes the person pause but rarely changes anything except that I feel better having posed the question. With AI, a person can be videoed saying anything now which does not help my point. But I keep trying to break through the TDS fog.
What cardiology should be worried about is that their 50 year old game plan is one gigantic failure. No real new innovations besides the same old drugs, stents, and surgeries. Not one thing addressing root causes.
Step back and examine the personality that dominates the Left and it becomes apparent that the Left mentality, birds-of-a-feather, are unhinged by any overall logical perspective of organized cohesive thought about the inherent rights of the individual. This is what Trump gave. Such a cohesive perspective, panics people into a form of psychotic gibberish with saliva dripping down their chins. The Left thrives on sewing confusion, just as the Woke tried to do forcing racist definitions into every commonly accepted moral perspective. As Trump speaks plainly, he dismantles this confusion and the Left's global power base. They are running scared of exposure which is occurring at every level of society even by the least of us. Go Trump!! And also go Jenna and others on Substack.
It is a wonder to watch all of this play out in real time.
Good analogy. Shows they have limited abilities for complex concepts and even lateral thinking. These are not very bright people who constantly push their PhDs as shields for their intelligence when all they know is to spew rote renditions of what they were taught. No one taught them how to move the needle.
Were living through an incredibly interesting time...not sure if it’ll turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing historically. But wow! So many things happening.
Agreed!! I see many of us learning to navigate personally and to discuss what was a muddle in the past. It is a very good outcome many asking relevant questions. We are a far better country for this period of self-education.
It’s amazing how much everything you said was on display with the press conferences by RI and Brown University the past week. We saw them try to force everyone’s perspectives back in line with their indoctrination because they believe in it so deeply. It was like watching a child in their mommy’s pumps and purse trying to mimic what the adults do, thinking they know what the adults do, bossing all the other kids around with an air of authority and chastising them when they don’t play along. They really have no sense of self because they aren’t allowed to. They became masters at parroting what they are told and modeling it without ever asking themselves if any of it rings true. They want the pat on the head, and dammit they will do it themselves if you don’t.
Voted other. It's more of the same. The mainstream follows their playbook to criticize Trump for everything, "alternative" voices who don't trust the mainstream are supposed to criticize the media which usually involves rationalizing or defending Trump, leaving the rest of us anti-authority/anti-government bunch scratching our heads wondering when people are going to catch on to the left right paradigm scam while the parasites continue to build out the digital enslavement grid.
More bills are being passed to "protect the children" and to allow telecoms to bypass local and state restrictions to continuing building out the wireless surveillance infrastructure. It's happening folks and I hope you all are ready to draw the digital ID line.
I still don't like the phrasing around "Digital IDs" (as if we don't already have them), but I agree with you 100%, it's not only coming, it's already here. We are busy "protecting the children" by stabbing ourselves in the back.
Maybe we better start chanting "Long Live Tyranny" so that our digital rights aren't revoked.
I liked Trump's speech, typical Trump exaggeration but it sure boosted my stock account values!
I agree and disagree. What else would you call it? The social credit system? Digital enslavement IDs? What i am referring to is giving the people in power the ability to track and trace all of is with one unique digital ID where all of our services are tied back to. That is the danger that we are fighting against and it's coming fast with the excuse of protecting our children.
It doesn't have to be a single "Digital ID". Our technology is now easily capable of identifying us from several different pieces of information.
"Digital IDs" are not "coming", they are here. We have them in our Social Security numbers, our "enhanced" drivers licenses, and our cell phones.
The problem is that they are now starting to implement the tyranny in the name of "protecting the children". It's coming so fast that it's already here. We blinked and it arrived. There are now at least two websites I'm unable to use (except for when I hack my way around them) any more because I won't surrender my identification. That's real, that's here. It's not a future scare.
I’ll go to the airport next week and they may want to take a photo at the TSA desk. It says on a sign I can refuse, but that was a year ago when I did refuse. It checks the biometric photo taken of me at the DMV a few years ago when I renewed my license. I need to renew my passport, not because I want to, but because I have an ill family member in that godforsaken Europe (they forsook God themselves) whom I may have to see to. That will require another biometric photo taken. We are slowly being squeezed into an inescapable net. Add AI which is seemingly unstoppable, I try to look around me and see normal things in my smallish town everyday. Nature is my best bet for that. A few friends, smiles, my freedom to walk around. I hope we can perch 10,000 feet in Wyoming in our camper next year and look around. Solace. John, blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏻
Yes, the slow squeeze is very concerning for those of us with our eyes open. I gave up the thought of international travel (which I used to enjoy greatly) so I doubt I'll renew my passport when it expires.
Much of my serenity comes from simply enjoying and being happy with what I have. So far I can still hop in my (pre-computer age) car and drive wherever I want (in the USA). I have no desire to ever see TSA again.
I never let them take my pic at TSA. I refuse every time and I’ll continue to refuse. Just because I need a pic for my DL or passport doesn’t mean I’ll be OK with a fresh one every time I do something.
I agree that the technology is here but the government mandates and requirements that are going to try and force a unique digital ID to participate in society is not here.
I’m ready to draw my line in the sand over the digital ID nonsense no matter who is pushing it. Most MAGA supporters are not blind followers. We stand up and fight our own party or one of its members when it’s necessary. All the time. The left cannot say the same.
Trump’s speech was good! Even better is your analysis of the “frothing at the mouth deranged media.” The way you clip along with phrases turning quickly, yet gracefully, is pure literary magic. That was my breakfast uplift for today! Thank you!!
Top shelf performance by the fearless of the Pavlovian lap dog legacy media POTUS DJT. He nailed the presentation and it is pissed. Every time I hear the PLDLM blow rainbow 🌈 farts of ill repute, I open the window, take a breath of fresh air and thank God for Mr. Trump. God Bless America.
What I liked the most was that he faked them out by dropping hints about Venezuela and then delivered a "state of the union" that they had to keep listening to just in case he did declare war, so they got to hear some good news for the country, and the award to the troops who they hate for some inexplicable reason. Bad night for them!
No matter what Trump says or does , it will never be good enough for the left . It’s a sickness . TDS.
I think there is a new sickness for those that are deranged about RFK, Jr. too, but I don’t remember what acronym they used.
Did everyone here read Malone’s post from yesterday? Be sure to read his pinned comment too:
https://www.malone.news/p/hhs-cdc-to-make-announcement-on-childrens
Perhaps the best Christmas gift ever - only a bit late???
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I fear we will be strung along, as usual. Hope I’m wrong.
For RFK Jr. derangement sufferers, I have been calling them Pharma Phanatics. Don't yet have the tidy TDS acronym, but PP's seems close.
I think I recall reading recently that psychologists were saying there's a mental illness associated with liberals wrt Trump, where they are against anything he's proposing, even when it's perfectly sensible.
Yes an actual psychosis, believing unrealities
Brilliant, as always, thank you for owning the lib media, the greatest threat to America.
It's disheartening to see how many adults are completely consumed with idiocy regarding Trump.

Higher employment, less taxes, lower health care costs, reduced wars, better food/pharma, eliminating govt handouts to the unentitled, etc. These are ALL objectively good things for our country.
There's a lot of emotional dysfunction in our society.

It’s disgusting. I’ll never vote for a Democrat candidate again now that I see behind their curtain and what kind of souls I’d be supporting.
Right?
It's inconceivable that they can look at what goes on in our government/country and think that this is remotely acceptable.
But DJT is on the other side, so they point and call him a n@zi instead of realizing this.
Emotional dysfunction is a good term for it. That's the essence of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" - hatred of Trump prevents seeing or acknowledging any of the good things he is doing (or even the "less worse" things).
A more healthy approach would be: "Okay, I'm skeptical about that or it's not enough so let's do even better, okay?"
Yah, seems doubling down on "Trump is literally h!tler" and "the GOP wants authoritarianism" and "the right hates children and science" ad infinitum is preferable to actual critical thinking.
It’s horrifying that 200 people voted to CONTINUE to mutilate children! That means every democrat and a few republicans, I think.
Off topic,I know,but,your comment made me think of that frightening fact…
Actually, I think it is truly mental dysfunction. Well, I'm splitting hairs on this issue. They are truly emotionally and mentally unstable. Pretty scary.
And that covers a LOT of people! So many people will disagree on one (maybe two) points and their brain completely shuts off not allowing them to see any good from the "other side".
That first sentence says it all. Thank you!
The market’s reaction tells you all you need to know.
It did calm down in the afternoon. Let's see what today brings!
Up more, as of 10:30ish. Of course, that's just Trump helping his rich buddies, the ones he is owned by 😉 (tongue firmly in cheek).
Yes, again it's a good morning for the stock market. I might not be a "rich buddy" but I do benefit. 😇
Agree - I thought he was clear, on point & had great chart visuals. I don’t get the accusations of shouting, and I liked that he was focused & didn’t ramble. One of his best speeches. It’s amazing what’s been accomplished so far; especially with a corrupt media & lazy Congress. RFK’s HHS is doing big things and I know there’s more good news to come.

Trump’s 18 minute speech targeted America’s low information voter. The key demographic to winning the 2026 midterms. It was brilliant!
Nobody I know would watch it. Because………Trump. They will just hook into their foul cancerous media the next day and find out how they should feel. Who they should hate. I know, I need different acquaintances but this town seems a polluted well of libs bobbing around.
Trump is never going to win over those who suffer from TDS. But, there’s millions of low information voters without TDS. TDS has infected most of my community.
So many of the people i know,too. But,this is California 🤷🏻♀️
I live in Swampy MD
Same sitch here. I sort of like the my spiked blonde hairs on my head to remain on said head! So, I mosey on down the beach promenade with my adorable pups and sing lalalala dee dee da, slap the fakest smile on my face and ignore the insanity.
I will never forget Biden's angry speech with fists clenched and a red background with soldiers behind him. Talk about Hitleresque. I forget what it was about. Was he haranguing us to take the dead baby poison death shot? I think he called half the country "semi-fascists," whatever that is. All I remember is shock, disbelief, and my blood running cold as I realized these people really are vicious totalitarians and they don't even hide it any more. This fearless if occasionally schlocky salesman with gut instincts that put pretty much everyone else to shame is a gift from God. I hope we don't blow it and refuse to support his people in the midterms. If the USA can be rescued from collapse it will be the first time in history a dying republic recovered. I pray he can pull it off, and that voters will do their part.
Get yourself and your friends and neighbors to the polls in November.
If I remember correctly,it WAS about us “grandma killers” that had that scary background..
The man can't do anything right, according to the left. And so they latch onto the only thing they can....his posture and his delivery. And they twist it just like their panties get in a twist anytime he makes sense. Was everything he said perfect? No. Was it, for the most part, concise and clear? Absolutely. And the left just can't handle that their version of a president was far less capable than the current sitting President. It's quite pathetic.

Blows me away every single day. Thankful for the ones with common sense.
Our local gas dropped 35 cents a gallon in a matter of a week. I’m not seeing it either. Personally anyway.
It’s pretty darn expensive here in the Bay Area. But,it was SHOCKING in Los Angeles last weekend at nearly 7$ a gallon 😳
You may not like the guy, but almost everything he's (trying) to do is good for America.
It's unfathomable how many people seem to prefer the US continue to flounder than improve itself under Trump.
It’s ruining their movie. Their entire philosophy and ideology is completely scripted and Trump isn’t following the script. He shut off their cameras, closed their book, and chose reality. They hate that.
....and they get more and more shrill and hysterical protesting.
Sound like a bunch of tween girls hating on a teacher they don't like.

I need to renew my passport, not because I want to, but because I have an ill family member in that godforsaken Europe (they forsook God themselves) whom I may have to see to. That will require another biometric photo taken. We are slowly being squeezed into an inescapable net. Add AI which is seemingly unstoppable, I try to look around me and see normal things in my smallish town everyday. Nature is my best bet for that. A few friends, smiles, my freedom to walk around. I hope we can perch 10,000 feet in Wyoming in our camper next year and look around. Solace. John, blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏻
Yes, the slow squeeze is very concerning for those of us with our eyes open. I gave up the thought of international travel (which I used to enjoy greatly) so I doubt I'll renew my passport when it expires.
Much of my serenity comes from simply enjoying and being happy with what I have. So far I can still hop in my (pre-computer age) car and drive wherever I want (in the USA). I have no desire to ever see TSA again.
I never let them take my pic at TSA. I refuse every time and I’ll continue to refuse. Just because I need a pic for my DL or passport doesn’t mean I’ll be OK with a fresh one every time I do something.
I agree that the technology is here but the government mandates and requirements that are going to try and force a unique digital ID to participate in society is not here.
It is here. It just hasn't been widely implemented yet.
Yet. It’s un the UK…and coming soon to a state of the Union near you.
I’m ready to draw my line in the sand over the digital ID nonsense no matter who is pushing it. Most MAGA supporters are not blind followers. We stand up and fight our own party or one of its members when it’s necessary. All the time. The left cannot say the same.
Trump’s speech was good! Even better is your analysis of the “frothing at the mouth deranged media.” The way you clip along with phrases turning quickly, yet gracefully, is pure literary magic. That was my breakfast uplift for today! Thank you!!
You made my day! I DO love and work hard at my craft so thanks for noticing! ☺️🩷
I was glad that he just stayed on point - refreshing! I immediately turned it off when he was done because I did not want to hear the commentary.
Top shelf performance by the fearless of the Pavlovian lap dog legacy media POTUS DJT. He nailed the presentation and it is pissed. Every time I hear the PLDLM blow rainbow 🌈 farts of ill repute, I open the window, take a breath of fresh air and thank God for Mr. Trump. God Bless America.
What I liked the most was that he faked them out by dropping hints about Venezuela and then delivered a "state of the union" that they had to keep listening to just in case he did declare war, so they got to hear some good news for the country, and the award to the troops who they hate for some inexplicable reason. Bad night for them!
