I & I Editorial BoardWe have long marveled at the virulence of Trump Derangement Syndrome. So why doesn’t the president use it to his own – and the nation’s – benefit?
In matters big and small, if President Donald Trump says one thing, masses of leftists and never-Trumpers will insist the opposite is true.
After Trump suggested that pregnant women not take Tylenol because it could pose an autism risk to their unborn children, expectant moms swarmed social media with videos of themselves downing the painkiller.
After the Trump administration announced it would approve an old drug as a treatment for autism, CBS News went back and altered a seven-month-old story that had touted the benefits and low risk of the off-label use of this drug to make it more negative.
“The tone became much more skeptical, with [the author] implying the FDA was reckless by approving the treatment,” noted Just the News.
When Trump announced that Coca-Cola would offer a version of Coke sweetened with cane sugar instead of corn syrup (which tastes far better but you can get only in Mexico today), NBC News rushed out a story suggesting that corn syrup is better for you.
When Trump enlisted Elon Musk to improve government efficiency, mobs starting attacking Tesla dealers and owners in support of federal waste, fraud, and abuse.
When he brought in the National Guard to fight crime in the nation’s capital, people flooded the streets to protest against safer streets.
You get the picture.
TDS doesn’t just infect liberals, but supposed conservatives as well, who often seem just as determined to oppose whatever it is Trump is doing – even if it means abandoning their principles.
Our complaint isn’t that seemingly rational people lose their minds when it comes to Trump. It’s that Trump hasn’t figured out how to use this phenomenon to his advantage.
Think of the intractable problems Trump could solve overnight.
He could turn blue cities red by endorsing socialist mayors.
He could revitalize American manufacturing by insisting that we only buy cheap Chinese imports.
He could drain the swamp and kill the deep state by arguing that every federal employee has the right to lifetime job security.
He could get millions of illegals to self-deport by offering them immediate citizenship if they come forward and thank him.
He could boost marriage and rates by extolling the virtues of being single and childless.
He could restore Hollywood to greatness by saying that he’s a huge fan of Mark Ruffalo.
Of course, he’d have to do so with a wink and a nod, just to make sure his devoted fanbase doesn’t take him seriously. But Trump is supposed to be the master of 5D chess. So, he should be able to pull that off.
What about it, Mr. President? Are you up to the challenge?

Very funny. So I&I’s solution to this nation’s problems is to create a Frankenstein Trump-where he is no longer Trump!
However, a majority of voters voted for Trump. If Trump stopped being Trump, where would this leave them?
Trump should come out in favor of oxygen so the idiots will hold their breaths.
He and RFK need to start a campaign highlighting the dangers of chainsaw juggling.
I wish President Trump would address the nation and tell liberals that breathing oxygen is good for them.
Trump is Still To This Day praising the OWS death jab! Trump invited Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla to the White House , calling him “one of the great people” and “one of the great businessmen.”
We have been had, Trump is either very evil, paid off or blackmailed. The first step in fixing a mistake is to admit you made one.
