Irrelevant.
This is the topic:
1. CNN claimed Nancy Sinatra was not happy...
True, but a lie.
Her father's song was played at Trump's inauguration.
True.
Nancy Sinatra responded, "That's not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?"
True.
Why do you always have to add irrelevant shit?
Because you're an egotistical narcissist, who can't stand losing, and all you liberals DO any more, is lose.
Plus, there's the obsession angle.
Can Narcissists Become Addicted To People?
Narcissists are known for demonstrating a worrying lack of empathy along with deviously manipulative traits, oh, and before I
forget to mention it, HUGE egos too. Yes, that's right, they love spending hours looking in the mirror and being told how
fabulous they are. To put it in other words, people with this personality disorder are firmly in love with themselves, to the
point of being totally obsessed with their so-called perfection, but the question is, can they put their self-admiration aside
enough to become preoccupied with someone else?
Either way...
PLONK!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
