> What?s most dangerous here isn?t just the scandal

No where does he say Trump's "in" with Epstein.

He's just raging against the "machine". 

So... no implications.

I'm gonna show you guys something that's even gonna spook you a little bit. OK. Tell me who hates Trump the most. The last 10 years 
since 2016, can you tell me who that's a that's a long list, by the way, that's a long list. No, no, but I want you to go who was 
close ally close who hates him the most, who you're gonna play Nancy Pelosi. No, I'm not gonna play Nancy Pelosi. I'm not gonna 
play Pelosi. You're not gonna be able to get Michael, uh, Michael, Michael, play this clip. Watch this here, OK?

Can you speak Uh, to your time with Donald Trump as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein, if at all?

So actually I, I fell into Trump's orbit around 2005, but I became part of the Trump organization as the executive vice president 
and special counsel in 2007. From the time that I started to the time that I finished in 2018, I actually never heard him mention 
Jeffrey Epstein at all. I never saw Jeffrey Epstein in the office when I was one of the 10,000 hours in Trump's office uh doing 
work with him. I never heard Jeffrey Epstein on the phone or even call into the office. There was no relationship from the time 
that I started at the org to the time that I left.

And so how do you then, when you kind of look at what is transpiring now and the way he's handling it, what do you make of the way 
he's handling it, the reason why this, um, scandal, if you will, this controversy, this individual has captivated so much attention 
and raised a lot of serious legitimate questions,

Sure, because that's what they campaigned on. That's what he sold to his MAGA base.

"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."
