How many illegal immigrants being deported by the new administration
would you find objectionable, Mr. Melnick? I'll ask you, a million.
I think a million would be a disaster.
2 million?
I think that is enough that would have severe negative ramifications
for the United States.
I'm not rating what Trump intends to do. I'm rating exactly what
President Barack Obama DID. I would really appreciate it if you would
go out on social media and say that the President Obama did a horrible disservice to those people he deported and he's as wrong-minded as
every other Republican who said we've got to secure the border because
you can't have one being OK and the other one not being OK.

It's so damned funny to see the responses where it was okay for a lefty
to do something that Trump is condemned for. Totally illogical in most
cases.

"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."
