Miranda Divine: Trump Derangement Fever Is Breaking

I don't believe this, but what do you think?

It's early days, but there are signs that Trump Derangement Syndrome is on the way out. And the Middle East peace deal that President Trump pulled off through sheer force of personality is part of the reason.

No, Trump's energy and success makes the mentally-ill even crazier. Mentally-ill people do not ever say, "You know, upon further reflection, you made some good points, and I think you're probably right."

No, mentally-ill people get box cutters and come looking for payback.

...
European leaders took a back seat and meekly kowtowed to Trump.
On the sidelines in Egypt, Trump gave weaselly Emmanuel Macron a bone-crusher handshake that lasted an excruciating 26 seconds, as the French president tried not to wince.
Trump also delivered one of the most humiliating political moments ever captured on video to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
"Where is the United Kingdom? Where's my friend? Come here," Trump said as the delighted PM bounced forward to join him at the podium. But Trump just shook his hand and said, "It's very nice that you're here," before turning his back and continuing his speech as Starmer slunk back to his seat in shame.

That humiliation of Starmer is big news in the UK. Treating Starmer as a second-rater confirms the UK's status as a second-rater country (and fading fast).

It may have been an inadvertent snub, or it may have been one of the calibrated social maneuvers that Trump plays like a Stradivarius while acting oblivious.

An inadvertent snub is much worse than a calculated one. At least with a calculated snub, the person snubbing you thought about you ahead of time.

With an inadvertent snub, they never thought of you at all.

...

Trump's dominant energy is a welcome shield to ward off the circling sharks salivating over the recent enfeeblement of the United States by a string of weak and feckless leaders.
How far this country has come in just a year. It used to be when we saw these Eurofops confabbing with an American president, that was Joe Biden, chronically tardy, forgetting photo ops (or faux-humbly standing in the back row), getting lost, tripping, wandering off and telling tall tales.
How they must have laughed when he kept repeating the brag, "America is back, stronger than ever."
Biden billed himself as a foreign policy expert, yet he made a mess of everything.

By the time he left, two major wars had exploded, China was emboldened, and he had left the Taliban $7 billion in military equipment after his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
In eight months, Trump has upended the old world order, in trade, in war and peace, and in telling the Europeans to start paying for their own defense.

No lies detected.

...
One sign was Brandi Kruse, a social media "citizen journalist" invited to the recent Antifa roundtable at the White House, who described herself as a recovered TDS sufferer.
Covering left-wing riots in Seattle the past five years had flipped her.
Now she says she is "happier, healthier, more successful," and even "a little more attractive."
Let's hope shrugging off Trump Derangement Syndrome proves the same for the country.

Read the whole thing. I think they're going to get crazier and crazier until they encourage another assassin. Only after a huge wave of national revulsion will they begin attempting to hide their insanity.

It won't cure them, of course. But they'll be less eager to show their florid mental illness publicly.

Also, the inadvertent snub is more likely to reflect reality. A calculated snub might just be you being an asshole.

In the case of Great Briton - what in the world did they contribute to anything worthwhile in the last 5 years? They gave some weapons to Ukraine I suppose. Middle east peace? If anything, they made things worse.

Stamer is easily the worst British PM in the last 100 years. Absolute backbencher.

I agree. I think more leftist violence is inevitable.

Despite the constant refrain that boomers are ruining the world the three most notorious recent shooters, Mangione, Robinson and Crooks, are in their 20s. Well not Crooks. He's dust. And all 3 of them are heros to some on the left. That will just encourage more crazies.

Correct. But there are degrees of TDS. Stage 5 TDS is your typical hardcore lefty foaming at the mouth, dripping from the crotch, and eyeing underage boys and goats.

There are lesser stages, such as Stage 1. Stage 1 has probably already been converted after seeing Trump at the debate and being surprised he wasn't Satan like the media claimed.

Stage 2 is probably gettable too. They are probably the ones Devine is talking about: centerites, maybe even center-left, who don't pay much attention to politics, but have been bombarded 24-7 with nothing but TRUMP IS HITLER propaganda.

Stage 2 TDS sufferers are now seeing -- because they can't not see it -- all the major Trump-created triumphs (like the middle east deal) and thinking "wait a sec, this guy ain't LITERALLY HITLER, I've been lied to!"

Back in the day, before we left the area, you could call her one of those rare liberals who could actually think critically and express herself intelligently. You could have called her proto-redpilled during Trump 1.0, and you could see her getting slowly expelled as not of the body of the leftist machine.

That is a bit of perspective of how rare her transition is.

62 If you consider that Trump gained (at least) 15 million voters in 8 years, even with them literally making him responsible for the virus they created and released, and all the other fake ops they threw at him, including convicting him, then you have to think that during a time of relative peace and prosperity he will only continue to gain in popularity.

Then think of where he started when he announced he was running in the first place. He was a joke. A nothing. A nobody. I imagine many here remember - along with many who are not here.

There is something about the way he just comes out every day as essentially the same person no matter what he is facing. It's a very steadying and calming influence, and like everything else, the polar opposite of the "CHAOS" portrait the Left paints of him.

I encourage you all to pray for President Trump, VP Vance, their family, friends, and cabinet. For a shield of protection for their health and safety. A shield so powerful all plans against them will fail.

The tide is slowly turning. Oh, sure, there are stray rabid TDS crazies out there. There always have been. However, social meda makes them look expansive and de rigor. About as de rigor as Macron's wife. She looks in full rigor mortis with a wig. I sort of feel sorry for her.

I thank y'all for the Brit going to an Alabama game on the sidebar. I am waiting to get my bloody chores done to watch it. I need the following: housekeeper and gardener who are not illegals, who do what I ask without irritating me, get done, and go away til next year when I need them again. I don't think this is too much to ask.

Of course my husband, bless him, will say he does all this and why do I need another husband? Plus he cooks and does laundry.

"Fuck you!"

-- Hyenas

Even hyenas are too good to compare these people to. Hyenas can't help their low status in the highly competitive African predator scene. Interestingly, much of hyena dysfunction can be traced to their intensely matriarchal society. Females greatly out-rank males. But females are violent and abusive, in large part because of their low-yield reproductive system. They basically have a penis that leads to their vaginas. Not joking.

I think we have to look outside the mammal kingdom for an apt comparison. I think these people are human cockroaches and dung beetles.

77 It's not subsiding. They are just getting beaten down so consistently and completely that they are moving into despair.

It will escalate back up as we get late in the presidential term based on misplaced hope that the policies will end with the term. These people haven't figured out that there is an indirect dynasty just starting. Conceivably we have the potential for domination of the Oval office for the next 20 years or more. The democrats don't have a stopper. (Vance, DeSantis, Rubio) There is the potential for 24 years with 3+ more from the King Maker.

When the 2028 campaign season revs up, they'll be back in form.

I think it's a whole bunch of things. Trump's ME success for sure. But also, there's a good chunk of Dems who think the same as we do about dudes in chicks' sports and bathrooms. The difference is they're afraid to speak out. Same with Affirmative Action and DEI.

Think how many people who would have voted for Trump's policies but couldn't bring themselves to pull the lever for Trump.

They're generally financially comfortable; college educated; community involved - and they can't listen to the word, "no." Spoiled, self-involved, have their children in the best public schools, teach in the others OR sit on the other's school boards.

They are huge in Indivisible, LWV, environmental groups, etc. where they have sway & access to NP funding.

They'll ignore people 'almost like them' and jump to people who often border on criminal behaviors to win the latter over with NP funding, participation in civic groups, etc. And the neediest continue to suffer

UU World - What to Make of Antifa

In part, "But when that assumption is true, and the police are not going to protect you from right-wing violence, then it’s good to have some “robust community defense” around.

So if you’re disturbed by the rise of Antifa—whether you’re a conservative worried about leftist violence, a local government trying to maintain order, or a liberal group hoping to protest peacefully—the long-term way to shrink their numbers is clear: Don’t create the conditions that make them right.

Their reply to that was, that’s not what they’re REALLY saying you’re too stupid and watch too much Fox News to understand nuance.

This doesn't really require much of a discussion: Yes, 99% of the time it's just used because they don't have a counter argument.

TBF conservatives did the exact same thing but negatively with Biden. BDS would come into play, and still does, when it comes to acknowledging anything his administration did well.

TDS is a “thought terminating cliche” people use because they can’t form an argument or defend their position. The irony is the real TDS is people failing to recognize how problematic Trump is.

Trump is obviously a threat to democracy. However, that doesn't mean that some people don't obsess over criticising him for things that don't need criticism.

Once again every accusation is a confession. Whose view of Trump is more divorced from reality? Clearly his fans. They are the ones cheering him on as he destroys their lives.

Are we gonna keep seeing House out a week, Senate b&tching, and Trump acting into perpetuity? I wonder when Ds realize Johnson is not backing down, and they have but one option...or they don't, and feds may eventually turn on them or split as a group...

You may want to check out www.store-3d-blurayrental.com. It's a NF-like rental service that has all the new 4K releases, and a lot of old ones too. Chances are, if the movie is in 4K, then they have it.

It's what I use. I don't buy the discs because I generally only watch a movie once. So no point in spending $40 a disc to watch once.

220 We must be really old school, or so cool it does not matter how we vote; and that the two couples I am thinking of are Dims. For all I know the FL couple marched with great vigor on Saturday.

Granted, an ex-friend, from 5th grade, who is a lawyuh and used to argue with me about everything...is a rabid Dim.I will put her forth for exam: bitter, second marriage, forever unhappy, childless, angry, narcissist. And it is seeping out of her pores. She may have marched the other day. Her anger has aged her. She has let herself go, altho did not have much to work with (this is my wicked younger self talking). I am pretty sure I had Stockholm Syndrome to have been friends with her.

Our son's in-laws are Dims and we like them a lot and have a blast with them on the rare times we see them. Politics is never mentioned...like the old days, I guess, of Nixon/Kennedy?

I don't have social media, which I think is a pox on mankind, altho some X posts I do enjoy reading elsewhere. So I will blame social media as the reason for TDS. To be part of the group think.

As I have never been part of group think, going back to HS, I swing through life like Jane to Tarzan and don't care how the chimps vote.

But this mentality is toxic and not only self-destructive, but destructive to women generally.

The idea that the people in here (for example) are all the same because of our political beliefs let alone our race, sex, etc is laughable. We can't even agree on longbows.

What the Left have done is make everyone "identify" themselves first and foremost so everyone can be prejudged and/or disqualified. Not long ago people were to take people individually as they are found, and then they were to be judged mostly on their actions. Imperfect yes and not always done but this is now a social litmus test for everything.

Hey, Muhammed married Aisha when she was 6, but he waited until she was mature before consummating the marriage (she was 9). Total gentleman.

280 Read today that the director of the newest actually signed on to the project with the understanding that he'd direct a completely different script.

The original script in development was a straightforward sequel to Legacy. That got cancelled for about 5 years and then this thing happened.

Therefore getting in shape means you’re a Nazi.

Saw some video the other day by some chick fantasizing about Luigi Mangione (cowardly back shooter of unarmed man) that all those bros at the gym could learn from him what being an alpha male is all about. F**ing incredible.

287 Compiler and Assembler have been sent into the real world to conquer it. Instead they find the real world is such a wonderful experience they give up plans for world domination, find boyfriends, and then battle their former allies.

The ending of Tron Legacy is literally Quorra coming to the real world to be Sam Flynn's girlfriend, essentially. One of the many stupid things about Arse is that it retcons that out of existence.

They also handwave Flynn's kid being CEO away. That was a major arc in Legacy.

294 I think there are two different--though similar tracks--that are discussed here: international TDS and national TDS. Seems like the ever likeable Miranda Divine is illuminating the international variety, which does seem to be waning a bit, while Ace is tracking the national variety which seems to be just getting started on Civil War 2.0.

Nevertheless I see no repentance or humbleness in either case--just the same old garden variety obsession with power over the people they claim to serve in the name of democracy, justice, or whatever mesmerize the masses to move ever closer to their "Metropolis."

Spend 30+ years on the internet, you'll hear shit you shouldn't have, and see shit you shouldn't have, whether you wanted to or not.

And acting like you didn't just because you're "not supposed to" doesn't really work, I've found.

I don't believe a word of their made-up texts, but we're supposed to believe a Muslim had enough discipline to "marry" a female and carry her around for 3 years before defiling her? Were there *any* truth to the texts its just as likely he married her at 6 pm and defiled her at 9 pm.

Back in the day with polygamy a ruler could have any number of wives to provide a diplomatic tie to another country more than to get your freak on. So its not entirely unbelievable either way. Julius Caesar had a forced marriage to a young bride by Marius in the middle of his massacres in Rome, he had his mother raise her for some years as they were both made priest and priestess as well.

299 What is "The Islamic Dilemma"? That the Koran has contradictions?
Posted by: pookysgirl, always curious at October 20, 2025 03:10 PM (Wt5PA)
"THE ISLAMIC DILEMMA
... the Qur’an teaches the inspiration, authority, and preservation of the Gospels. The Qur’an was intended as an Arabic version of the message of truth found in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures, but this presents a huge problem for Muslims because the Qur’an contradicts the Christian Scriptures on essential doctrines. Most notably, the Qur’an teaches that Jesus was not God incarnate, he did not die on a cross, and he was not raised from the dead (Qur’an 4:157; 5:116).
Here’s the dilemma for Muslims: If the Gospels are not trustworthy, then the Qur’an is false because it teaches that the Gospels are the inspired, perfectly preserved, authoritative words of God. But if the Gospels are trustworthy, then the Qur’an is false because it teaches contradictory, mutually exclusive facts about key issues. Either way, the Qur’an is false. This, of course, is a huge problem for Muslims. The validity of Islam rests upon the reliability of the Qur’an...If the Qur’an is unreliable, then Islam is a false"

I was reading a pal's social media thread where a usual moonbat had to cut in and give pause to some other dinks, in order to give Trump credit, regardless of how tenuous it might be, for the Israeli/Palestinian truce. I don't know if he's been a shellshock mugged Jew, but he was sincere.
