You love to use that word and brandish it as some kind of horrific insult. Please tell us WHY you believe "Marxists" are involved here...and just how it supports the topic that the Dems are "Domestic Enemies of the USA."

To paraphrase what someone said a short time ago when you used it...I do not believe that word means what you think it means.

(and I predict that there will be no answer...again)

In this case, Trump was simply playing a different version of the childish setup game. Dems were wise not to play along with that senile immature twat. Trump is an insincere fool. There was nothing to be gained from falling for that trap/crap.

Default Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, but probably not what you think.

It's not really surprising when you look at how they cling to anything that let's them believe in their cult leader.

If you've ever been publicly critical of Donald Trump, you've probably been accused of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" by his followers. But what if that phrase actually reveals more about the movement using it than the people it's aimed at? A peer-reviewed study by Franks and Hesami (2021) set out to test this exact claim: that critics of Trump suffer from an irrational hostility that prevents objective thinking, "TDS". Across multiple experiments, the researchers examined whether political bias toward Trump is symmetrical, meaning, whether both supporters and critics distort information in similar ways. Their findings suggest otherwise.

Trump's detractors did not show consistent patterns of reflexive opposition. In fact, they tended to evaluate statements more independently of Trump's involvement. By contrast, Trump supporters were significantly more likely to shift their views depending on whether they believed Trump held a particular position, even when that position contradicted their previous beliefs. In one experiment, participants adjusted their stance on voting procedures depending on whether the outcome favored Trump, revealing a willingness to reinterpret even democratic norms in light of loyalty. Yes, supporters would cheat in elections to get Trump back in office.

In other words, the evidence does not support the idea that critics are uniquely "deranged". Instead, it points to an asymmetry of loyalty in supporters, where allegiance to the leader can outweigh consistency, evidence, and even previously held convictions. That should give us pause. Because "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is real, but not in the way it's commonly used. It's not primarily about people who are too critical. It's about a system that trains people to dismiss critique altogether when it threatens loyalty. When disagreement is labeled as derangement, you no longer have to engage the argument. You can ignore the evidence. You can protect the narrative.

Think of how we are watching this play out in real time. Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York, and independent fact-checking organizations have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading claims during his public life. He has also been found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in civil court, and his name appears thousands of times in the Epstein Files, even after heavy redactions by his DOJ. Yet allegiance among his core supporters has remained remarkably stable. And once that pattern takes hold, real derangement sets in. Truth is no longer something we test and evaluate in light of evidence. It becomes something we defend for our side.

Facts are no longer evaluated on their merits; they are filtered through identity. If it helps our team, it's true enough. If it challenges us, it must be biased, corrupt, or fake. At that point, you're no longer arguing about ideas. You're protecting a distorted reality. That's why fact-checking so often fails. It assumes people are asking, "Is this true"? But in many cases, the deeper question has already been decided: "Is this loyal"? And when loyalty becomes the standard, truth becomes negotiable. This is the real derangement. And it is dangerous. Trump's followers would tear up and trample upon the Constitution if they felt that was the loyal thing to do. Their loyalty is to Trump no matter what. And not the law of the land.


You see, they can't change their minds. Their entire identity and social circle is caught up in the fact that if they don't stay committed they'll be ostracized from the rest of the misguided group.

Trump violated his oath to defend the Constitution when he stole classified documents and then obstructed justice while attempting to keep those documents. He violated his oath while leading an insurrection to nullify an election and remain in office. The issue about standing during SOTU is total BULLSHIT. If you disagree with wha I’ve said you must be MAGA…and that organization is an EXTREMIST organization that is a direct threat to this republic.

It's interesting how they use those words, like "socialist" and "marxists" as if they're some sort deep insult that's horrifying to everyone. That may be true inside the MAGA circle where they can only memorize a few things, but everyone else thinks it sounds ignorant, delusional and outright hilarious.

According to World Liberty Financial's structure as of early 2026, the company is primarily owned by the Trump family and a company tied to UAE royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, which acquired a 49% stake in January 2026. The platform was founded by Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump, and associates Steve Witkoff, Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, and Chase Herro. Donald Trump and Steve Witkoff are both now listed as "co-founder emeritus" on the company website.

Reports from The Wall Street Journal and subsequent coverage by CNBC, Forbes, and ABC News in early February 2026 revealed that an Abu Dhabi investment vehicle backed by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500 million a few days before Trump's inauguration.

The Trump Family originally controlled roughly 75% of the entity and, despite the sale of a 49% stake, still receives 75% of the revenue from WLFI token sales.

World Liberty’s disclosures show 75% of WLFI token sales flow directly to a Trump entity (DT Marks DEFI LLC), 12.5% to Witkoffs, and 12.5% to co-founders Zak Folkman and Chase Herro.

President Trump owns 70% of that Trump entity while unnamed family members own 30%.

The $500 million deal is part of a larger, controversial web of financial connections and investments, including a $2 billion investment on May 1, 2025, by an Emirati-backed firm into Binance using World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin.

Two weeks after the $2 billion investment the White House approved the sale of hundreds of thousands of Nvidia AI chips to the UAE, with a significant portion going to G42, an AI firm controlled by same Sheikh Tahnoon who backed the $500 million investment in World Liberty Financial just prior to Trump's inauguration.

US national security officials warned that the UAE serves as a, or a potential, bridge for technology to reach China, particularly via G42's, a prominent AI firm, past connections with blacklisted companies like Huawei.
Would an impeachable offense such as bribery in exchange for sensitive technology to a foreign country with questionable make the de-facto head of the Republican Party a domestic enemy of the state?
