Broke-Brained Trump Critics Exhibit More Signs of Mental Illness

He's crazy!, shrieked the lunatics, covered in bruises and cuts from self-harm sessions.

Nasty leftwinger Michelle Goldberg having night terrors over Trump.

New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg indicated on Friday that President Trump's election was so upsetting that it gave her years of insomnia.

...

"[A prediction that a blue wave is coming] will not be enough to lessen the insomnia that has plagued me since the cursed night when Trump was elected," Goldberg wrote.

...

"What's been called 'Trump Anxiety Disorder,'" the CBC article read, "has been on the rise in the months following the election, according to mental-health professionals from across the country who report unusually high levels of politics-related stress in their practices."

In 2018, the Journal of American College Health similarly said that 25 percent of students at Arizona State University reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after Trump's election.

Meanwhile, Max Boot doesn't understand how it can be that he's written the same "Trump is unfit and I'm no longer a Republican" column eight hundred and fifty three times, and yet nevertheless, Trump persists.

Here's Max Grift:

Don't get me wrong. I love what I do and realize I am supremely lucky to be able to make my living by writing and speaking about the news of the day. I find contentment in the craft of writing and fulfillment in self-expression. But I do sometimes wonder what I am actually accomplishing. Much of my journalism for the past four years has been devoted to critiquing President Trump and opposing the spread of Trumpism.

Much of it?

But no matter how many columns or sound bites I produce, he remains in office, acting (as Sharpiegate shows) more erratically than ever.

What's that classic definition of insanity...?

Sure, he's not terribly popular -- but he could still be reelected. I am left to ask if all my work has made any difference.

1, it's not work, it's a mental illness you're being paid to work out publicly.

2, no your "work" -- petulant Twitter screens typed up for the Washington Post with punctuation added -- has not made any difference, and it's insane for you to even think it might have.

A lot of people were bewildered by Max Boot's column:

"He remains in office because US Presidential terms are for 4 years. What's his point?"

...

"Max Boot, who has spent the past four years of his life regurgitating the same column every few days, ponders why his work has yet to nullify the 2016 election."
