    Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real disease. Fake News is a real phenomenon - a consequence of TDS. This would be an interesting book.

    Sweet. That would/will make me happy.

    Regarding TDS, this article was interesting: https://www.wnd.com/2018/09/psychiatrist-trump-derangement-syndrome-is-real-and-serious/
    Below is a few paragraphs i quoted. I think a book delving into the psychology, neuropsychology & neuroscience of TDS for the laymen would be fascinating. I think chemically it significantly alters the brains of people affected. But to what depth, is it permanent, and can be cured or reversed? It seems like cannabis could offer relief, and reverse some damage. ?

    In addition to fear and related symptoms, anger and rage are prominent in this syndrome. In the present case, Trump is hatefully portrayed as a diabolically villainous perpetrator of evil deeds. Calls for his death or torture or for harm to his family are not unusual and may even be displayed with pride.
    ...
    The mindset in this syndrome sees Trump as a hateful man bent on destroying lives. But there is no evidence to support this view. Trump is more than 70 years old and has no record of criminal behavior or history of destructiveness in other ways. He is certainly self-centered, egotistical and grandiose, and he is often boorish, insulting and contemptuous. He gets defensive easily and retaliates when offended in ways that are adolescent at best. He can be careless with facts and he lies too often. He has been unfaithful to his wife. There is ample evidence for all of these allegations on casual observation. But many of these traits have been prominent in other political figures. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, for instance, have engaged in far more serious wrongdoing, but have not evoked a fraction of the agitation that characterizes the TDS.

    In fact, Trump is not all bad. He has several good traits that are by now well known to persons who are not prejudiced against him. Stories of Trump’s personal generosity, kindness and willingness to put forth great effort for good causes are common knowledge. His record as president for only 20 months is surprisingly impressive. Under his leadership, America is enjoying resurgent economic growth, more jobs, lower taxes, fewer regulations, increased work-force participation, reduced numbers of food-stamp recipients and greater productivity. Most Americans approve of Trump’s determination to protect our country’s borders. Most Americans are more optimistic since he took office. Trump has attacked with great vigor a corrupt, illegal and massively exploitative Deep State that has become entrenched in the bowels of Washington for decades.

    By any reasonable standards, these are constructive achievements, not damaging attacks on America or Americans.

    Yes it was. It was used for the FISA which was then used to record calls of everyone near Trump which was then used to start this mess.

    Then Fusion, who created the dossier, set up a honeypot meeting in Trump Tower.

    The rest is history.

    President Trump has repeatedly pointed to the findings of a House Intelligence Committee report to insist his campaign did not collude with Russia. But that same report concludes that the inquiry began with a diplomat’s tip about a Trump campaign adviser — not the salacious findings of a former British spy.

    the investigation began in July 2016 — after George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, told an Australian diplomat that Russia had political “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Australian officials then alerted their American counterparts.

    The information provided by Mr. Steele did not reach the F.B.I. officials charged with investigating Mr. Trump’s campaign until mid-September

    Republicans who hold the majority vote on the House Intelligence Committee have also stated that the investigation was opened because of information linked to Mr. Papadopoulos — not Mr. Steele’s dossier.

    “The Federal Bureau of Investigation opened an enterprise counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign after receiving information related to Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos,” the final report from Republicans on the House committee concluded.

    Additionally, a memo written by Republican staff members for the committee, stated that “the Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an F.B.I. counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by F.B.I. agent Pete Strzok.”

    You realize Popdadopoulus NEVER talked to a Russian or went to Russia right? It was an undercover FBI agent that talked to Pop that set him up....

    The informant worked for the FBI... Reached out to Pop about dirt.

    Duck. The Dossier was major evidence used for the FISA. You can spin it however you want.
