Nope.
Because I don't trust this guy, means he's lying?
Fuck no, worm.
Look, I'll say this for Trump. He's got this idea that America is still the biggest swinging dick in the world, and, and we have
not used our power as much as we should. That's what the tariffs are about. We have the power to change of these people's other
nation's trading practices with us. Some of which were out of line. I'm surprised that it that they people went along with it as
much as they did, so he wasn't completely wrong about that. He, he said, Look, NATO hasn't been paying their fair share. I'm gonna
make them do that. He wasn't wrong about that, and I'll tell you this one thing about him that I know, I'm not gonna tell you how I
know, but a lot of people have seen the same thing. He really does hate war. He really does not like it when people die in war.
Putin?
Worse.
Bill Maher.
I don't "trust" Bill Maher, so is he lying?
No, you stupid fuck.

"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."
