And now for the Trump addiction
By Silvio Canto, Jr.
Some call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or something that goes back to the late Dr. Charles Krauthammer. (“The acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush.”)
With all due respect to psychiatrists, let me tell you that this is now addiction territory. Remember needing a cigarette in the middle of a meeting? Remember needing a chocolate bar? Or eating some peanuts with a soft drink at 10 am as I often did?
My point is that some people are addicted to talking Trump. They have to tell you about how bad Trump is even if no one cares, or people would rather hear your memories of Saturday afternoon pregame baseball shows on NBC.
Enter Bob Costas:
Sportscaster Bob Costas drew ire from ‘The Big Weekend Show’ panelists hours after slamming Trump supporters as members of a ‘toxic cult’ on CNN’s ‘Smerconish’ on Saturday.
‘74, 75 million people in this country voted for Donald Trump. I’m not sure that's a great look [for Costas],’ Guy Benson, radio host and Fox News contributor, said.

Is MAGA a toxic death cult? Certainly as evidenced by ruined lives, reputations, careers, and imploding state GOP parties.
Biden is a spend & tax, America last President.
But, the media, more than anyone, is addicted to Trump / Trump Derangement Syndrome because his schtick brings in the ratings. As long as Trump is good for ratings, he'll be on our televisions, radios, and click-bait feeds.
