=== Believing Trump Derangement Syndrome (04:23) ===

[00:00:02]  So, I now believe, I have not believed this seriously.
[00:00:07]  I have not used the term.
[00:00:09]  I have not believed that it is anything but, you know, sort of political rhetoric.
[00:00:16]  I now believe it is true.
[00:00:18]  I believe there is Trump derangement syndrome.
[00:00:21]  I think people have become frighteningly irrational with regard to Donald Trump.
[00:00:32]  And I don't know where it comes from.
[00:00:36]  I don't know.
[00:00:37]  I admit it.
[00:00:38]  I don't know.
[00:00:39]  I understand opposing him.
[00:00:41]  I understand not agreeing with him.
[00:00:43]  I understand finding the way he conducts tweeting and some of his offhand comments annoying, even obnoxious.
[00:00:53]  I understand all of that.
[00:00:56]  But the hatred and the demonization Is pathologic.
[00:01:03]  And it is very scary to me.
[00:01:05]  The media people who pathologize him scare me much more than he does.
[00:01:16]  Listen to Chris Matthews now.
[00:01:19]  This is just, was this week, correct?
[00:01:23]  It was on February 7th.
[00:01:26]  Fine.
[00:01:26]  Five days ago.
[00:01:28]  So...
[00:01:29]  They're discussing the fact that, I assume, that he's going to fire some people now that the impeachment is over.
[00:01:38]  Yeah, post-Vinman, right.
[00:01:41]  So this is what he actually said on his show Hardball.
[00:01:51]  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.
[00:02:02]  He had movies taken of them being hanged.
[00:02:04]  He said it made it so their clothes would fall off so he could watch the movies.
[00:02:07]  Is this guy that bad?
[00:02:09]  Okay, is this guy that bad?
[00:02:15]  You're sick, Chris Matthews.
[00:02:17]  No, no, you're sick.
[00:02:18]  You're just sick.
[00:02:19]  You're sick.
[00:02:21]  MSNBC is sick.
[00:02:22]  The New York Times is sick.
[00:02:24]  You're all sick.
[00:02:25]  I've never said this before.
[00:02:27]  I've never.
[00:02:28]  It has finally occurred to me.
[00:02:32]  You folks are sick.
[00:02:34]  There's something wrong with you.
[00:02:36]  You do not perceive reality.
[00:02:40]  If he were hanging his enemies by piano wire as Hitler did, why are you capable of saying this?
[00:02:47]  And no, do you have a bodyguard on your way home, Chris Matthews?
[00:02:51]  Do you drive home in a tank?
[00:02:56]  There is no relationship between reality and what the haters of Trump say.
[00:03:00]  There's none.
[00:03:01]  There is none.
[00:03:02]  That's why I kept telling you Frank Rich is existential threat to democracy.
[00:03:06]  You're all sick.
[00:03:08]  I now realize they're sick.
[00:03:11]  I've said that they have done evil.
[00:03:14]  I have said that they have distorted life.
[00:03:16]  I've said a hundred things, but I never said sick.
[00:03:18]  I now believe you're sick.
[00:03:22]  Sick means you don't perceive reality.
[00:03:26]  You live in a make-believe world.
[00:03:28]  That is sick.
[00:03:30]  Trump is like Hitler, stringing up people who opposed him, firing the Vindman brothers?
[00:03:37]  Is the same as Hitler torturing to death his opponents?
[00:03:48]  And then the next moron on NBC, the next sicko, says, oh, they applaud like they do in North Korea.
[00:03:56]  The Republicans are North Korean sycophants.
[00:04:04]  If you have relatives, they're sick.
[00:04:06]  They are sick.
[00:04:09]  I've never said it.
[00:04:10]  It has finally occurred to me that you are sick if this is your view of Trump.
[00:04:17]  I don't care.
[00:04:18]  You can hate him.
[00:04:19]  But if you think he's Hitler or an existential threat to democracy, you are sick.
[00:04:25]  You're not just wrong.
