You're viewing a single thread.
Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson, responded to the backlash by calling critics “snowflakes” and promising that “their existence will be crushed” by Trump. In a statement to The Washington Post, Cheung said: “Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
Cheung later clarified to The Post that he meant to say their “sad, miserable existence” rather than their “entire existence.”
Oh, that's much better. Thanks for the clarification!
In all seriousness, though, it's never a good sign when the clarification of a candidate going Hitler is to double down on the Hitler. There are going to be scary times ahead if Trump is allowed anywhere near the White House again.
He did the same thing in 2016, clear use of what seemed to be at least Nazi adjacent propaganda, and he doubled down on it, got elected, are people still doubting he literally supports neo-Nazis?
It's weird. No one ever said "Bush Derangement Syndrome" or "Nixon Derangement Syndrome" or "Reagan Derangement Syndrome". And those guys really fucked around with the country. Maybe, if everyone seems to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" there's a realllllllly good reason?
And we didn't even say that the right had "Obama Derangement Syndrome" even though they were clearly deranged by a black guy being in the Oval Office.
Heck, Obama has been out of office for almost 7 years now (this January) and the right STILL brings up Obama.
