Marc Thiessen Says Schumer Has Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)
If you want to understand why Donald Trump is president today (and why he could very well win a second term), look to the Democrats' hysterical response to two of Trump's major foreign policy achievements over the past week.
Last Thursday, the president traveled to Joint Base Andrews to greet three American hostages whose release he had secured from North Korea. Unlike his predecessor, Trump did it without sending the offending regime an unmarked plane loaded with hundreds of millions in hard currency. The return of these American captives should have been a moment of celebration and bipartisan unity.
So how did Democrats respond? By blasting Trump for the way he welcomed the U.S. hostages home. The pretext for their outrage was Trump's comment thanking Kim Jong Un, who he said "really was excellent to these three incredible people" -- by which Trump obviously meant releasing them. No matter. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., took the Senate floor to attack Trump for his "troubling" remarks. "Kim Jong Un is a dictator" who "capriciously detained American citizens," Schumer declared, channeling Captain Obvious, and warned that, by praising Kim, Trump "weakens American foreign policy and puts American citizens at risk around the world."
Seriously? How do Democrats take a positive event such as the release of American hostages and turn it into an excuse to attack Trump? Apparently, Trump Derangement Syndrome is so debilitating that Democrats can't bring themselves to say "Good job, Mr. President," even when he brings our hostages home. Before, Democrats complained that Trump was too belligerent toward Kim; now, they're upset that he is too effusive. This is absurd. Trump is laying the groundwork for a high-stakes nuclear summit with Kim;

Pelosi and Schumer are from California and New York. They will always think of their own constituencies first, and their bases second, to maintain their power in leadership. The Republicans tend to get leadership from states like Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky (Trent Lott was an exception), and that affects how they act.
"Maggie Haberman of the far-left New York Times is publicly blaming President Trump after the media deliberately took his “animal” comments about MS-13 gang members out of context."
"On Friday, when the president said the media had intentionally twisted his words as a means to make it sound as though he was describing all illegal immigrants as “animals,” he was exactly right. In the hopes of deceiving the American people, the media did deliberately lie. "
The dems are giving us a peek into the mind of the left, a tangled mass of self-loathing contradictions that is uncomfortable with human nature and reality.
A cesspool of liberal democRATS. Deep in debt and full of crooked Leftie politicians, many of whom sit in prison for corruption.
Are you sure you didn't mean Indiana, where Mike Pence is from?
Really, the media lied on purpose?
Trump is so adept at trolling the democRATS that they had no choice but to throw their support behind MS-13 or appear to be supporting Trump instead.
Heavens to Betsy. They don't want to look like they agree with the president on anything.
They are easy targets for Trumps Tweets.
I hope Trump doesn’t get bored with trolling the dems. It brings me a lot of joy watching them make fools of themselves trying to be opposite of Trump even if Trump is 100% correct.
Democrats are sore losers.
I'm afraid I still don't get your point on Illinois.
What Republican of prominence comes from Illinois?
All I can think of is Obama, Dick Durbin, Jesse Jackson, Jr, etc., but no Republicans?
Am I missing something? Give me some GOP names from there. Thanks.
And Michel was a couple of decades ago.
So basically the Republicans got nothing from Illinois.
Am I still missing something or am I just not getting the point you're trying to make?
Democrats installed the disgraced pedophile exactly because. They owned him and it showed.
I wasn’t saying they were any good, I was only saying there was a different political dynamic from the Dem Party.
Well, there was Lincoln.
From the way all the democRATS like to latch onto Lincoln's legacy and ride any coat tails they can grab a hold of, especially Obama, you'd have thought Lincoln was a democRAT.
The Left is so phony.
