Psychologists and massage therapists are reporting ‘Trump anxiety’ among clients
Washington Post ^ | March 4, 2016 | Paul Schwartzman

To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy — marriage, children, and careers — psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.

In recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.

This is another good reason to vote for Trump.

Mitt Romney is not the only one upset about Donald Trump. Many of the government bureaucrats and politicians are scared to death of Trump's popularity.

Notice there is no Cruz anxiety or Rubio anxiety among the Washington insiders. I wonder why that is.

It’s called “Trumpitis” and can only be cured by having a Trumpectomy.

That is hilarious........obviously it has to be Cruz and Rubio supporters. I doubt Kasich supporters cuz they are too high to notice anything.

This violates her professional standards. She needs to be disbarred from practicing.

Could be because neither has the slightest chance of winning.

I wonder when and even if, the other candidate supporters are going to get on board?

Originally, I was a big old Scott Walker fan. He dropped out, life goes on so I found another candidate to support.

Even JEB! as awful as he was, was preferable to Hillary.

In 1964, some googball publication reported that the majority of psychatrists in the US found Barry Goldwater insane and could not be trusted with his finger on the nuke button. In 1964, Mitt Romney’s father was one of the GOP-E leaders who trashed Goldwater, then leading for the party’s nomination. It is 2016; history repeats itself, but the second time as FARCE!

Most acute amongst clients of massage therapists with small hands.
