Blog: Trump Hatred: Is It The Message or the Messenger?

Blog: Trump Hatred: Is It The Message or the Messenger?:
"Trump derangement syndrome is the new political disease afflicting not only Democrats, but also much of the political establishment, including Republicans and the #NeverTrump crowd.
Some of this is natural when a Republican is in the White House, as we saw during the George W. Bush presidency.
Remember “Bush Derangement Syndrome”?
Image result for obama trump immigrationThis year a new strain has emerged, more virulent, and potentially fatal to the weak and feeble-minded, namely establishment Republicans.
Is this over-the-top hatred of anything and everything Trump based on Trump’s policy initiatives?
Or is it personal, based simply on the persona of Donald Trump?
Could it be his message during the campaign and now into his Presidency?

  • Things like, “The era of big Government is over.”  
  • Or the initiative to, “Take our streets back from crime and gangs and drugs.”  
  • Or a goal of, “Eliminating 16,000 pages of unnecessary rules and regulations, shifting more decision-making out of Washington, back to States and local communities.”  

Harsh words from Trump.
No wonder no one likes him.
Oh, wait!  
These words were from Bill Clinton in his 1996 State of the Union address.
Perhaps Trump’s stand on immigration is the cause of the derangement syndrome.
Assertions like:

  • “Because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked.”  
  • Or these sentiments, mentioned frequently on the campaign trail.  “Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws.”  
  • No wonder both Democrats and Republicans are against Trump, for as they like to say, 
  • “This is not who we are.”  

Oh, wait again.  
Those are not Donald Trump quotes, instead they are the words of Senator Barack Obama in a 2006 Senate floor speech..."
Much here, read on!
