Believing Trump Derangement Syndrome
00:04:23
|
|
| So, I now believe, I have not believed this seriously. | |
| I have not used the term. | |
| I have not believed that it is anything but, you know, sort of political rhetoric. | |
| I now believe it is true. | |
| I believe there is Trump derangement syndrome. | |
| I think people have become frighteningly irrational with regard to Donald Trump. | |
| And I don't know where it comes from. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I admit it. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I understand opposing him. | |
| I understand not agreeing with him. | |
| I understand finding the way he conducts tweeting and some of his offhand comments annoying, even obnoxious. | |
| I understand all of that. | |
| But the hatred and the demonization Is pathologic. | |
| And it is very scary to me. | |
| The media people who pathologize him scare me much more than he does. | |
| Listen to Chris Matthews now. | |
| This is just, was this week, correct? | |
| It was on February 7th. | |
| Fine. | |
| Five days ago. | |
| So... | |
| They're discussing the fact that, I assume, that he's going to fire some people now that the impeachment is over. | |
| Yeah, post-Vinman, right. | |
| So this is what he actually said on his show Hardball. | |
| Yeah, well, a certain dictator whose name we dare not use, when the people tried to kill him about 1944, the collaborators, he not only hanged him, he hanged him with wire. | |
| He had movies taken of them being hanged. | |
| He said it made it so their clothes would fall off so he could watch the movies. | |
| Is this guy that bad? | |
| Okay, is this guy that bad? | |
| You're sick, Chris Matthews. | |
| No, no, you're sick. | |
| You're just sick. | |
| You're sick. | |
| MSNBC is sick. | |
| The New York Times is sick. | |
| You're all sick. | |
| I've never said this before. | |
| I've never. | |
| It has finally occurred to me. | |
| You folks are sick. | |
| There's something wrong with you. | |
| You do not perceive reality. | |
| If he were hanging his enemies by piano wire as Hitler did, why are you capable of saying this? | |
| And no, do you have a bodyguard on your way home, Chris Matthews? | |
| Do you drive home in a tank? | |
| There is no relationship between reality and what the haters of Trump say. | |
| There's none. | |
| There is none. | |
| That's why I kept telling you Frank Rich is existential threat to democracy. | |
| You're all sick. | |
| I now realize they're sick. | |
| I've said that they have done evil. | |
| I have said that they have distorted life. | |
| I've said a hundred things, but I never said sick. | |
| I now believe you're sick. | |
| Sick means you don't perceive reality. | |
| You live in a make-believe world. | |
| That is sick. | |
| Trump is like Hitler, stringing up people who opposed him, firing the Vindman brothers? | |
| Is the same as Hitler torturing to death his opponents? | |
| And then the next moron on NBC, the next sicko, says, oh, they applaud like they do in North Korea. | |
| The Republicans are North Korean sycophants. | |
| If you have relatives, they're sick. | |
| They are sick. | |
| I've never said it. | |
| It has finally occurred to me that you are sick if this is your view of Trump. | |
| I don't care. | |
| You can hate him. | |
| But if you think he's Hitler or an existential threat to democracy, you are sick. | |
| You're not just wrong. | |
