Oh?

Really?

"The Trump presidency, as we know it, is over"

"Over" and "finished" can be considered synonyms in certain contexts.

"Over" is a phrase that is often used to indicate that something has come to 
an end or is complete, often with a sense of finality or completion. For 
example:

"I'm glad that's over."
"Let's get this project over with."

In these cases, "over" implies a sense of conclusion or termination.

"Finished", on the other hand, is a more general term that means completed, 
done, or concluded.

In many cases, you can use "over" and "finished" interchangeably, for example:

"I'm finished with my homework." (Here, "over" could also work: "I'm glad 
that's over with.")

"The project is finished." (Here, "over with" could also work: "The project is 
finally over with.")

However, there might be subtle differences in connotation or usage. 
"Finished" tends to be more neutral, while "over with" often carries a sense 
of relief or completion, as if something unpleasant or tedious has come to an 
end.

So while "over with" and "finished" are not exact synonyms, they can often be 
used interchangeably in many contexts.

Idiot.

"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."
