If only Hydroxychloroquine could cure Trump Derangement Syndrome
The Hill ^ | 04/08/2020 | Liz Peek

Posted on 04/08/2020 4:52:08 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Not every Democrat has COVID-19; but they all – uniformly – apparently suffer from TDS, better known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. Symptoms of this wide-spread affliction include the inability to ever concede, or even imagine, that President Trump might possibly be right about something, sometime.

The most idiotic recent outbreak of this highly communicable disease surrounds the argument over chloroquine and its less toxic derivative hydroxychloroquine. In mid-March, as the coronavirus surged, President Trump mentioned that the latter anti-malaria drug appeared to have “tremendous promise” as a therapy for treating COVID-19 patients. He said it “could be a game-changer, and maybe not,” acknowledging that the jury was still out.

Trump noted that the drug has been available for decades to treat malaria and thus its side-effects are well known. It is also inexpensive and available from numerous suppliers, all of which might recommend it to our pragmatic president.

Trump’s hopeful assertion was widely mocked by the liberal media, who did not welcome the president’s optimism. And yet, the New York Times reported at the time that hospitals across the country were loading up on the drug, responding to reports that in some instances it was saving lives. The Times noted that, “Laboratory studies have found that they prevent the coronavirus from invading cells, suggesting that the drugs could help prevent or limit the infection.”

Reviewing the available literature about the efficacy of the anti-malaria treatments, The Journal of Critical Care on March 10 described chloroquine as “widely used, safe and cheap, [and] effective in viral infections in pre-clinical studies.”

The Journal included reports from Chinese trials finding “Chloroquine phosphate… had demonstrated marked efficacy and acceptable safety in treating COVID-19 associated pneumonia in multicentre clinical trials conducted in China.”

Further, both the Dutch and Italian equivalents of the CDC have suggested using chloroquine to treat severe infections requiring admission to the hospital and oxygen therapy.

So, it wasn’t as though Trump was making it up; there were indeed indications that the drugs might help. Why, then, the blow-back?

The only known cure for TDS is death.

But of course that can also mean dying and rising with Christ when he is received into a heart. Sooner or later any true believer will be cured of TDS because sooner or later that believer will fall in love with this beloved country birthed by the Divine Providence of God Almighty.

I hear the same treatment North Korea uses for COVID19 works for TDS.

If it did, they would refuse to take it.

You’re kidding, right? (...by asking the question. Surely you know the answer.)

If you read the comments for this article, you quickly realize that we are beyond Democrats as American citizens.

We're going to have to put them down, like rabid dogs.

I wish things were as you describe. It’s certainly a noble sentiment, even though I see little evidence that many prominent leftists have experienced a conversion experience.

Of course, with the Lord, all things are possible. But on a practical level, these leftist politicians, media bots, bureaucrats, academics, and assorted activists, are truly lost souls.

One might pray that faith enters their hateful, benighted hearts, but I just don’t see that happening.

They are too lost in their own narcissism.

If a dem has covid-19 and their life is saved by the drug it might — just might — make them think a tad better of Trump. My guess is any TDS relief would be short lived though and by election time they would be back at it.

There is no known drug to cure Trump Derangement Syndrom.

As has often been said: “You can’t fix stupid”.

Nothing can cure TDS. It’s terminal. As it should be. Logically.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a common psychiatric condition characterized by irrational, often manic and hysterical, ranting. There is no known cure. There will be a /forme pleine/ on November 3, 2020. It is expected to fade in distribution in 1,748 days although likely to persist in small pockets of disoriented individuals.

Yes, it is. They just took a deadly dose of the drug, plus maybe a few impurities since it wasn’t intended to be ingested. But chloroquine phosphate is one of the anti-malaria drugs.

Someone has advanced the theory that the wife is a liberal (based on her past support), that she didn’t get along with her husband (based on her divorce filing several years ago), and that she murdered her husband (based on her taking a non-lethal dose while giving him a lethal dose).

"Covfefe Runner: I feel dumber having read this bloviating attempt to smear the press. There's no TDS, it's just another 5th grade like attempt to dismiss people calling Trump out for being the loser he is."

"I only made it about halfway through. Have you noticed that every single Trump supporting editorial is a crying fit that Trump is the most unfairly treated person in America? Turns out, the hardest thing to be in America is a rich, white, man. Trump's been screaming that for years, so it's nice of conservative media to completely co-opt that message."

"I work for a wealthy white FOX viewer. He has a home in the midwest that might be in the $900,000 range.....which is a nice home here. He also owns a more expensive home in Hawaii and flies family and friends there for the summer.... he owns 3 vehicles here .. . Not sure how many there. But FOX has him convinced that even though he has tax breaks, and scams to avoid tax on top of the breaks, and can do pretty much whatever he wants........that somehow he is a victim and being perscecuted We need to get rid of FOX or pass laws that news has to be factual.

"We need to get rid of FOX or pass laws that news has to be factual."
It's a worrisome suggestion that I'm tempted to agree with! The specter of banning media outlets very much flies in the face of the way Americans think of ourselves... but we have to look at what we are presented with here."

These are only the first. There are 2,000 more in a like vein. The shooting will start around 6 November, after he wins a second term, and the traitors realize that Trump is determined to be Constitutional. There was a time when Democrats could be Americans. No more.

I’m waiting for TDS to be listed as cause of death as any noted libs and RINOs kick off...”RBG, noted member of SCOTUS, passed away in her sleep last night after losing a hard-fought battle with TDS...”
