The loud calls for impeachment, the media’s coordinated editorial attacks and the continued outrage on the left call for an obvious diagnosis—Trump Derangement Syndrome. Thankfully, a few who might be tempted to join the attacks are sharing truths to help treat the poor people so afflicted.
Have you heard anyone explain what President Trump has done that is a crime? Where is the “high crime” that is an impeachable offense? Even Special Counsel Mueller has not yet identified any crime after months of investigation.
Dershowitz asked the critical question few even raise, “What is the crime?” He voted for Hillary Clinton but is speaking out as a defender of civil liberties. He acknowledged that there may have been political wrongdoing, but even if members of the campaign colluded with Russians, there is no evidence that Trump was involved or that any statues have been violated.
“As long as the Trump administration or no individual told them (the Russians) to hack the DNC,” Dershowitz replied, “That would obviously be very different or gave them information useful in helping them hack the DNC. But just knowing that they hacked the DNC or taking advantage of that is not a crime.”
Dershowitz explained, “Under the unitary theory of the executive, the president has the right to direct the Justice Department and the right to direct the FBI on what to do. Thomas Jefferson told his attorney general to prosecute Aaron Burr. He told them how to do it and called witnesses in. He…called Chief Justice Marshall and threatened to have him impeached if he didn’t convict him. Aaron Burr got acquitted in the end but not through any efforts of President Jefferson. The president is head of the executive branch and can’t be convicted of obstruction of justice for simply performing his Constitutional duties…. I don’t see any crime here.”
Football legend Jim Brown, appearing on “Fox & Friends,” leveled a charge to the “black community” to take responsibility for their own problems instead of shifting the blame onto President Donald Trump. Noting the president’s rare accessibility and willingness to listen, he confronted his own race, “The black community, and I’m a part of the black community, has a responsibility regardless of what the president does. If you have a homicide rate in your black community, then it’s not the president that’s created that homicide rate. It’s the black community itself that needs to address it.”
Commenting on the national anthem protests, Brown said, “We should never denigrate our flag and our national anthem. We should always be Americans first and we should work our butts off to do the right thing and make it a better country. … To not respect your flag and national anthem is something I’d never do.”
When asked if Trump was racist, he replied, “I’m so glad you asked me that. Of course not. Is America racist? Of course not.” While admitting that Trump should be legitimately confronted on certain issues, he detested the piling on by the media: “When I look at television and see all these announcers become experts and they’re pointing the fingers and they’re not doing a doggone thing but pointing their fingers, I find myself really pulling for the president.”
If rational statements aren’t enough truth to treat your syndrome, listen to the funny yet insightful reply from a dog in a Saturday Night Live skit. In the skit, three scientists debut their invention, a machine that translates for pets, and, to their shock, find out that the dog is an articulate Trump supporter. Let’s not lose our sense of humor. In fact, maybe we ought to add a few dogs to that basket of deplorables who had the wisdom to elect this very unsettling but productive president.
Being DJT is a crime, as is supporting him. This is the beginning of the lefts’ effort to criminalize any disagreement whatsoever of its agenda.
Yep. Nothing you can say makes any difference whatsoever. We might as well save our energy.

The demands to throw him out of the Hall of Fame will follow. Thanks Kaslin.
Donald John Trump is a crime 
You have to explain that to me. I get the second part.
Perhaps someday science will discover a way to un-derange people’s brains.
I’m sure the deranged people (loony left) would like to tinker with our brains for fun and profit.
Anyhow, throughout history there have always been the terminally deranged and or criminal insane...ie a few bad apples.
If they are allowed gain power it can really be a mess.
Actually, the best self treatment for several TDS is to off yourself or ask a friend to do it for you. The possible coming country wide purge is an alternative.
The writer is articulating that the left thinks DJT’s sheer existence is a crime, not him/herself.
I contend that the left will try to destroy any Republican or moderate Democrat
Don’t think there is any cure for TDS.
It is a mental disorder.
The cure for TDS: turn off the TV and social media and go outside!
For instance,
IF the deranged people gain access to our institution of learning.
And no longer Educate but indoctrinate our innocent children.
Or, if they control the upper tiers of government like the FBI or IRS.
Or, IF they gain control of most of the media.
Or, IF aborting the unborn by the millions becomes almost common place.
So I guess this interview elevates Mr. Brown to Uncle Tom status.
The beauty of this strategy is that Trump supporters cannot engage in an open discussion about Trump with his opponents. That means we cannot be reasoned out of our position. We're locked in by their tactics and thus invulnerable to whatever wisps of logic the opposition could potentially muster.
There isn’t, that’s for sure
I don’t need to turn my TV off. I use my mute button on my remote control when ever a liberal is up. Besides there’s other stuff to watch
Trump hasn’t done a single unconstitutional thing since assuming the office
If, Trump was a tyrant and Hitler, all these people criticizing him would be DEAD or getting gassed!
If Trump was Hitler or a Fascist he would be confiscating guns not supporting the 2nd Amendment.
A president who wants the people to be able to defend themselves against a tyrannical government cannot be a Fascist.
These yogurt heads on the left do not even know what the words they speak actually mean.

makes sense
“Donald John Trump is a crime
You have to explain that to me. I get the second part.”
If Trump initiated every socialist idea that Obama aspired to, the left would still despise him. He gets excoriated for things that WJC and Obama started, like immigration policies. Leading with emotion, the left’s obsession with being anti-Trump is pathological. They’re are truly deranged.
Out smarting, and out campaigning the Pantsuit Princess is the crime. Making the media/Hollywood/East Coast snobs/Left Coast fanatics waste their time, effort and money on what they thought was a sure thing, is the crime.
