Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
Sign up to attend Michael’s talk in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 20: HERE.
The news is not unexpected in the least, given the maniacal hatred that leftists have directed at Donald Trump ever since he first announced that he was running for president in 2015, and even before then, when he dared not to strike the appropriate posture of awe and reverence before the august personage of Barack Hussein Obama. Now, however, a psychotherapist has confirmed it: hatred of the president is driving leftists stark, raving mad.
Collin Rugg of Trending Politics noted Friday that “psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert says that 75% of the patients he sees have a deep hatred for Trump and are ‘hyper fixated’ on him.” They hate him, but he is, after all, president of the United States, and they can’t bear to stop following politics closely enough to regain some perspective and serenity. “They can’t sleep,” Alpert said on Fox News, because “they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump.”
Alpert said: “I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered…. So this is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” That’s right. Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t just a phrase patriots use to mock leftists anymore. It’s a real malady, and it deserves a place in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the basic handbook for mental health workers.

Why do leftists suffer from this, while patriots have endured the misrule of Bill Clinton, Obama, and Old Joe Biden without being driven totally around the bend? There are many reasons for that, chief among them being the fact that patriots generally tend to be religious people, while leftists are not. A key element of both Judaism and Christianity is the idea is that human beings are flawed to the extent that it is not possible to establish a perfect society on earth.
The awareness of human frailty also prevents patriots from both mistaking politicians for gods, while a hallmark of leftist regimes in the modern age has been the cult of personality. Leftism contends that the perfect society — be it the workers’ paradise of Marxism or some DEI palace of equity that soothes the nightmares of the likes of Kamala Harris — can actually be established on earth.
When it is established, it will be the work of a benign human god such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong Un or some other leftist tyrant; all of these and others have demanded, and received, worshipful adoration from their people. In their officially atheist regimes, these leaders (and other leftists who have risen to the top in totalitarian regimes) have clearly endeavored to take the place of God in their hearts and minds of those over whom they rule.
Of course, American leftists don’t go in for that kind of cultic activity, right? Sure. The next time you’re in a conversation with a leftist, say something disparaging about Barack Obama and watch what happens. This leader-worship, meanwhile, has a flip side. These ersatz leftist religions not only need a god; they need a devil, too — someone upon whom everything can be blamed. George Orwell indelibly captured this impulse in 1984 with the “Two Minutes Hate,” during which the citizens of the totalitarian state of Oceania were compelled to scream invective at Emanuel Goldstein, the enemy of the regime and of all that was good.
Who is Donald Trump but the left’s real-life Emanuel Goldstein today? Leftists who can’t sleep at night because thoughts of Trump torment them are caught up in a frenzy of religious fanaticism, consumed with hatred for the Satan figure of the left’s secular religion.
That means that the only real and lasting cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome is to take a step back and realize that human society is not actually perfectible. The workers’ paradise of Marx and his children and heirs is a pipe dream. Trying to establish a perfect world of justice and equity has only resulted in piles of corpses and millions of ruined lives. Neither Lenin nor Mao nor even Barack Obama is the good leader who will usher in the new age of righteousness, and Trump is not the devil.
Above all, leftists should look back into the family history and discover the religion that they or their parents discarded, and take it up again. This will do them a world of good to see Trump, even as they continue to oppose him, in a more realistic and saner light. Who knows? They might even be able to get a good night’s sleep.
Sadly… Trump is driving conservatives crazy too…
The MAGA infighting is rampant… and I stand with MTG…
Also releasing the Epstein files and with Candace pointing out the FBI cover-up of Charlie Kirk’s assassination…
MAGA is suffering right now… especially with the America 1st movement gaining momentum…
Your mother is calling you. She wants you to go look for work. It is also call a job, or employment. These are terms with which you might not be familiar.
Would you hire this nut case?
These flakes will have to go hungry before losing their purple hair and nose rings. My first brush with this problem was back in the 70s. Helen Ready burned her bra. Here comes Equal Opportunity Employment. What a joke that was. It sounds good, but it wasn`t. Persons with families and years of experience were sidelined for pimple-faced, uneducated black kids.. No experience, but they would follow orders, even if it was wrong. This was a blessing for me because I started working for myself and turned myself into a multimillionaire. A lot of people don`t have the drive or intelligence to pull this off.
Gullible morons fall for psyops and take sides.
no horseface, you are suffering, you have TDS, you have the parasitic mind –
Epstein is long dead and there is no one being abused by him since!
All the incredible results President Trump has done in less than one year and monkey brains like you are digging in your ass throwing sh*t – You worship your mound of sh*t logic.
I don’t give a damn who is on that list.
From Obama on out there is treason that has priority to be indicted, convicted and sentenced.
Now wipe that sh*t out of your eyes and see reality! FOOL!
Yeah… Epstein dies by suicide… Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide… Charlie Kirk is assassinated…
Naturally you wouldn’t give a hoot about who’s on that list… <<< Besides… Who cares what you think? Is that all you have?
MTG has always been a big MAGA supporter… one of Trumps longest, loyal and devout supporters… but it surely is disgusting how Trump has turned on her… <<< Who needs friends like that?
Like many… you live on selective, partial information…
Disagreement or dissent happens on our side. That’s ok. Look at the left – they don’t get to make up their minds on anything. Their opinions come from the top. They are authoritarians. They run their party as they try to run our country.!
Standing with MTG? rampant Maga infighting? Candace and the great FBI/Kirk coverup, the non existent barely breathing America First movement?….Really?
Do you know why you get so many down votes, consistently, from readers not remotely connected with me?
Ok Ok I’ll answer it.
Because no one wants to be lectured by an illiterate, permanently angry, insane, second rate wannabe John the Baptist/Bible thumping failed comment board preacher, yelling repent! I have the comments to prove it. Your insane narratives, made from whole cloth, are a hoot. You should be standing in the polluted Cuyahoga river wearing animal skins.
And that is why you couldn’t get a real job if you tried.
I remember the days when I was attacked for calling islam “satanic”…
I’m not here for accolades or upvotes…
I speak the Truth…
Now then…
You say… “…yelling repent! I have the comments to prove it.” <<< Well… let's see them… prove it…
Oh it’s not just islam you call satanic, dipshit . You call America satanic, You call the Catholics and the Pope satanic, You call my church satanic.
You are one sick little P.O.S.
On November 16 the of last week You wrote;
“Your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church…
1) Approves of homosexual pastors and homosexual congregants
2) Teaches you worship allah as the same god
3) Where you use your satanic fake church to “Chase Female Tail” so you can “Get Laid”…
That’s NOT normal !!! That’s not Christian !!!”
Wazza matter? You don’t remember? I would guess that you are probably retarded.
In all of that twaddle I see some loser yelling the equivocal of “repent!” over and over again. The real issue here is you simply can’t accept the fact that I was making it all up about chasing women in church and you got played like boo-boo the fool.
Yes, you are that gullible and dumb. It’s the same with all of the other folks who are ridiculing you. It’s amazing how they are all the same, stupid in your illiterate opinion. Does the whole world have to line up with your B.S. Who the eff appointed you to save the world.
In the actual world people would call you bitter and insane:
“I’m not here for accolades or upvotes…I speak the Truth…”
Po’ widdle boo-boo. What a martyr you are. If I may partially quote Jesus: ” Truly I tell you” You couldn’t find the Truth with two hands and a flashlight.
We got it Intrepid… Ok…
So you admit… that you are a liar…
You made up your life story about using the women at your satanic church for sex… <<< That's not normal, in any Christian world…
But why? So you can be seen as a super hero of a man? <<< Hahaha, sure thing Intrepid…
You said you have the comments to prove it… <<< Then used a comment from yesterday, also saying it was from last week. <<< What a joke… what lies…
Nope… no proof at all…
Where's the words saying "Repent"? No where…
The only thing that's true about you Intrepid…
Is that you're a continual liar. <<< Period! <<< Exclamation point
Untrustworthy liar…
It’s not for you to say what is normal in any world let alone in any Christian context. You said super hero, not me.
You wrote what you wrote on the 16th. So this week, last week. Who gives a sh*t. That is how petty you are. You asked for proof and I gave you proof. You can nit pick all you want. Go pop a pimple on that stupid face of yours
As for the word repent, most normal people call the ravings of a wannabe John the Baptist a call to repent. I never said you said anything about repenting. But you should for all of your accusations. Bearing false witness. One of the biggies. Such a small minded jerk you are.
It’s a good thing you aren’t a lawyer. You are terrible at cross examination. Perhaps you should find out what lying really is. That’s two things you suck at. Lawyering and preaching.
I had you all twisted up in knots over my stories about chasing women at church and you fell for it. Do you honestly think they wouldn’t have fired me for that? And I enjoyed screwing around with those oh so noble eggshell sensibilities of yours. You are truly gullible and stupid. I remember how incensed you were. How fun that was.
Hey most unholy one….we did that Led Zeppelin song yesterday. Everyone liked it. Lots of applause. You are a downer. Oh well Nothing you can do about it.
So, are you going to leave me alone now or keep chasing after me like a little lost puppy. Small minds = small accusations. You are the type of unimportant faux Christian loser that gives normal Christians a bad name.
Wow! You’re back again… always gotta have the last word… you’re quite sadistic…
You’re a known liar… even admitting it. You confess you’re a liar…
Even using your position in your so called church to get women for sex…
…
Your turn… make it count, this time… you’re failing miserably…
Still hung up on the women for sex thingy. Just can’t let it go, can you. Does your “wife” know you are this stupid?
I wasn’t lying for any malicious intent. But like boo-boo the fool, you fell for it hook line and sinker. It is so not my problem what you believe. I wish you had a million dollars. I could have taken you for all of it.
As they say Oklahoma: “Well honey, bless your heart”. It’s meant as an insult BTW
You’re a known liar… even admitting it. You confess you’re a liar…
Standing with MTG? rampant Maga infighting? Candace and the great FBI/Kirk coverup, the non existent barely breathing America First movement?….Really?
Do you know why you get so many down votes, consistently, from readers not remotely connected with me?
Ok Ok I’ll answer it.
Because no one wants to be lectured by an illiterate, permanently angry, insane, second rate wannabe John the Baptist/Bible thumping failed comment board preacher, yelling repent!

And that is why you couldn’t get a real job if you tried.
sumsrent:
I won’t bother to parse what you said and just get to the point: I take it that perhaps you don’t like Trump and think the country would’ve been better of with Kammie Harris as president? Agree or disagree but don’t equivocate. That’s rude and disingenuous. Speaking the truth is liberating and will ease your conscience.
I don’t deign to speak for others in this forum but I’m sincere in saying that I appreciate and respect truthfulness and honesty. Those are characteristics of a principled person.
My wife and I voted for Trump… no… I don’t hate Trump…
And… most certainly see Kammeltoe Harris as a cackling loonie…
I’m simply questioning what he’s doing… as any American should… <<< that doesn't mean I hate Trump.
You stand with rabid Jew-hate which will eventually empower Islamization of the US.
What’s Ripping MAGA apart? Backing Stupidity and hate.
What could go wrong with that????!!!
Cat… what a weird bizarre comment from you… off the wall, without any thought…
If you believe I’m about “empowering” satanic islam… you’re off base. I hate satanic islam and all the fake churches which teach allah is their same god…
Also… nothing can be questioned about Israel or you’ll be labeled an anti-Semite, Jew Hater or the likes…
For instance… I support Israel and it’s defense against satanic islam quest for world domination… But… I question that Israel knew about October 7th beforehand. Just like America was behind 911 and Pearl Harbor…
Does that make me a Jew hater!??? <<< No! Not at all…
Right now… from what I'm seeing Jews themselves are ruining it for Israel. <<< Another Topic.
And… as far as Trump… he's also ruining it for MAGA… and the America 1st movement is growing in opposition to Trump.
Now… take my advice and get a bit more informed on what's happening in this world…
Gee, 10 upvotes for Cat and nine downvotes for you. Do you see a pattern here? Oh I forgot, you don’t care about accolades or upvotes because you are trying to save the world
Sumsy sez: “I speak the Truth” Yeah sure you do. You are a laughing stock.
I never claimed I was out to save the world…
We are called to share the Gospel of Salvation… and correct false doctrine… Romans 16:17 and 1 Timothy 6:3
These are the things that go over your head…
Why?
Because your satanic, homo, allah worshiping, fake church doesn’t teach anything, but instead is a “feel Good” building that isn’t interested in Salvation. Salvation… the most important thing in this world.
Salvation… the most important thing in this world.
Yeah it is a “feelgood church”. Almost the entire congregation has been baptized in my church and are therefore saved, Including me. Have you baptized anyone today or ever? You are hardly an ordained minister. You don’t have the discipline or intelligence to go through the training.
Do you really think anyone is going to listen to your B.S. with your constant criticizing and horrible attitude?
Maybe you should read the room assling. Most people do not need, or require, and possibly resent being harangued by the world’s angriest judgmental fake preacher who thinks he is John the Baptist. on a comment board.
Perhaps you should set up a tent somewhere in podunk Tennessee and actually see if you can draw a crowd. Betcha can’t. No one wants a smart ass Bobby Lee Jagoff con man for spiritual guidance.
Who benefits from this schism? The exact same people who brought down the TEA Party. I’ll give you a hint, it’s the professional republicans and they are more pissed off than the Democrats.
Trump is ruining it for MAGA…
In his recent interview on Fox regarding H-1B… he says America doesn’t have the talent… so he needs to bring in 700k+ Chinese to work in America…
Americans aren’t talented enough to build missiles…
All during his immigration crackdown…
A simple search shows that Trump never said “so he needs to bring in 700k+ Chinese to work in America”
He said Americans lack certain talents.
He also never said “Americans aren’t talented enough to build missiles…” That would be you.
Your powers of logic are weak and deficient. You sound like a shill for the usual TDS websites.
Your hero MTG is nothing more than a fake Christian. She’s only in it for the money. Just watch! Her daughter just yesterday was interviewed about her mom. Do you think she did that interview for free? Watch MTG go on all the left wing media and podcast shows and she ain’t doing it for free!! Book deals? Cha-Ching! $$$! She’s a money grubber just like Pelosi! Hide and watch your golden girl get filthy rich! She knows exactly what she’s doing!
Watching Reading and Hearing all that Poppycock and Balderdash from the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders/Sewer Dwellers as well as the Hollywood Left and various Eco-Freak Groups(NRDC,Sierra Club, Greenpeace Etc.)has the tendency to turn the leftists into blabbering screwballs and Nutcases
Amen to that.
Dorothy L Sayers wrote a great piece on ‘Freedom of the Press.’ The gist of it was freedom to suppress, freedom to malign, freedom to distort. The press regarded Chamberlains capitulation to Hitler with celebratory praise. The emerging truth did nothing to instil skepticism in newspapers.
When you have the news media speaking with one voice of hatred, it is a miracle to me, living in Australia, how he was elected.
The left has no faith in God and resultiing inner stability thus everything throws them off they don’t agree with
It’s not so much that Trump is driving them crazy, he’s just bringing the crazy into the light, to the benefit of all.
Talking to liberals about Trump is similar to talking to Muslims about Jews. Their countenance suddenly changes, what seemed a fairly normal person moments ago suddenly becomes a raging lunatic impervious to reason. Not only is their hate directed at the subject in question, they can barely restrain themselves from physically assaulting for you for questioning the basis for their loathing. In fact, I have had more reasonable conversations with Muslims about Jews than I have with democrats about Trump.
Well, maybe. Muslims will live next door peacefully until their Jihad bell rings. Muslim hate is a cold cold planned hatred and based in a long range goal of conquest. And they lie with ease, smiling at you. Leftists are emotional wrecks. They’re allied. But one will devour the other. Guess what the winning crocodile will have as his name? Mohammed.
Bwaaaa haaaa haaaa haaa – TDS “sufferers” you have too much time on your hands because you live in the greatest nati0n on Earth and in the history of humanity – just think if TDS pricks did something productive with their lives?
That same energy spent on bullshit fomented and fake suffering would blow their minds how productive and profitable their lives would be.
They are losers. TDS are losers.
There are even senior citizens with TDS. Fools that have lived longer than me and maybe all they have is SSI.
That is their fault. But no, this same mentality that failed to plan for retirement, refuses to admit they f’d up!
This kind of parasitic mindsets never admit they are at fault for their financial plight in retirement. They find someone to blame and there is a lot of company with TDS. Misery loves company. Well, so does success. I will not commiserate with misery! TDS affects all vile satanic honiac pekkerheads!
TDS is a condition in Leftists that is caused by, a strong sense of self loathing, and loss of control. Leftists loathe themselves and see qualities in Trump they have in themselves but deny having. Projection is the vehicle they use
to remain in denial by attributing their own unacceptable traits onto Trump. Another cause of TDS in Leftists is a perceived loss of control. Leftists by nature are control freaks and when they are out of political power the sense of loss of control over others is overwhelming.
Let’s face it. TDS is a symptom of a real psychiatric disorder. The Trump haters suffer from psychosis which cannot get resolved without professional treatment — which they will never seek because Trump. Psychotic people cannot be reasoned with on any level. This is what one sees consistently with the Democrat party and those with TDS.
Any Conservative or Republican who ascends to power is subject to the three minutes of hate. Especially if he is effective.
After he steps down and is no longer a threat, he will be remembered as and example of moderation and no where near as bad as bad as whatever Conservative comes next.
Thank you, Mr. Spencer. Spot on!
Thank you, Robert. Can we put that on a huge scrolling electronic billboard in Times Square?
We ought to look at the Epstein files, but I am not confident that they will help with what is needed (reduction of child sex trafficking and punishment of its organizers). Trump makes himself look bad by dodging the release and coddling Maxwell. That goes nowhere good. Backtracking to encourage release is confusing to me and a lot of the public. It feeds TDS. He doesn’t need that. I am not sure of the president’s accomplishments in the economy. But I am sure of his support for Israel and that distinguishes him from Obama if not Clinton or Biden. The anti-Israel left and right are missing something important while they pound the historic drum of Jew hatred. I especially am astonished by the Jews in that group. What they miss, and what I hope Trump may know, is that Islamization is happening and that it is a threat to western civilization. As a transactional president, he makes good sense to introduce lucrative opportunity to the more conservative wealthy middle eastern countries. It is a possible block to the radical Islamic sects that are already killing Christians and other Muslims in Africa and the Middle East. It is politically convenient for radical Islam to stoke antisemitism in the West. It promotes societal destabilization and draws attention away from other subterfuge. It was easy because the west has deep reservoirs of antisemitism. The Jews will suffer first. They always do. But the Christian world is really the ultimate target. Everyone who is non-Muslim is expected (by radical Islam) to become one or to die. It is not a simple matter of religious conversion either. It is an entire social restructuring with new standards of behavior that we have never seen. White supremacists take note if you think you have a partner. You are apostates just like any nonbeliever. It won’t matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican. Religious war has been around since religion.
The good news is there is no Vance Derangement Syndrome, at least not yet. If it doesn’t develop, he may be able to do more than Trump did, maybe much more.
I’m pretty sure TDS is not a new disease, just a new stage in a pre-existing disease. Ever since 2000 it has been clear that many seemingly normal friends and relatives were anything but. Who hasn’t been walking on eggshells since then, until eventually the relationships dry up or blow up entirely. We called it BDS approximately 20 years ago, after Krauthammer coined that term. Even Bush the lame-o so-called compassionate conservative brought out early stage symptoms.
Unfortunately, lack of sleep, even in normal people, can bring on all sorts of other terrible effects. among other things, increased dementia is a real danger.
A post TDS stage could be real ugly.
We don’t need organized religion. Religion can be found as one of the things at the root of our societal problems. We need spirituality. Spirituality is a personal relationship with the Divine. Religion is crowd control.
