Watch how CNN tries to say Trump should represent the interests of Ukraine, and a young member of Ukraine's parliament corrects
this dolt. Trump is leader of the US, not Ukraine!
"Do you believe that when Trump meets with Putin in just a few hours' time here, that he will represent Ukraine fairly?", that he
will keep Ukraine's interests close to heart?" - CNN idiot
"Well, he's president of the US, so what I hope for him, not even to represent Ukraine with dignity, but to represent the US with
dignity. I really hope that President Trump will not try to please Putin or make Putin happy or such as satisfy Putin, but I hope
that President Trump will speak and act with power because he's a powerful leader, and as he numerously said, there is only one
language Putin understands... the language of power. So, um, this is what I hope for, and I hope that he will actually use the card
uh uh of uh of the secondary sanctions, the strongest card that US and President Trump has on hand."

"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."
