Leftist 'therapists' discover Trump Anxiety Disorder

Try Googling "The wildest quotes about Donald Trump" and all you'll get are his own wild quotes. But while Trump obviously speaks in hyperbolic terms, the left is guilty of their share of over-the-top statements which have a poor relationship with the truth.

Now therapists are claiming that there has been an increase in anxiety among the left, who think in hyperbolic terms and believe such tripe as the world is coming to an end under President Trump.

The leftists are calling it "Trump Anxiety Disorder" but it's really still "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

A report from CBC News in Canada says that since Trump's election, U.S. mental health professionals have witnessed an increase in patients attributing stress to politics and the prevalent "symptom" of this bull crap "disorder" is feeling as if the world is going to end.

Kind of like the economy is going to plummet if Trump gets elected. Kind of like the stock market is going to crash and never recover if Trump gets elected.

Kind of like bull crap.

Elisabeth LaMotte, founder of the D.C. Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in Washington, D.C., claims that some of her patients feel "on edge" about the decisions Trump makes, [like lowering taxes, meeting with Kim Jong un, having a dialog with Putin, keeping the military strong with increased funding, supporting the V.A., nominating conservatives to the Supreme Court, and confronting news outlets like CNN and MSNBC for playing games with truth in journalism] but didn't enumerate which decisions she was referring to.

"It's very disorienting and constantly unsettling," the questionable LaMotte said.

Something that, in her words, is 'disorienting' means that it confuses a person as to who they are, where they are, and what the time is. It can be one of those, two,  or all three facets of orientation. If one of her patients is disoriented and blames it on Trump, I suggest they be confronted on that and the therapist delve a bit deeper into their psyches, because they're full of bull crap.

It is entirely possible the actual cause of anxiety among leftists comes from within their own group.

They have the wild-eyed Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) asking that activists confront members of Congress. The bat crap crazy senator spoke Wednesday at the National Conference on Ending the world Homelessness in Washington, D.C.

He implored his audience to take action and to "Go to the Hill today. Then said, "Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople."

Imagine the anxiety some in the snowflake crowd felt when Booker called for confronting members of congress.

But our favorite leftist with the lowest IQ, Maxine Waters, not only wants to "Impeach Forty-five!" but is also calling for leftists to harass everyone in the Trump administration when they go to eat in a restaurant or at a gas station, or anywhere they're seen in public.

That might be one of the reasons some on the left feel anxiety. They are able to see her call for confrontation and that can lead to violence, just like Cory Booker's words can do the same.

This has got to stop and it must stop now, before someone gets hurt or killed.

There is no "Trump Anxiety Disorder." There is only "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and "Hillary Innocence Delusional Disorder."

Jennifer Lawrence's plan to save the free world

Actress and comedienne hopeful Jennifer Lawrence has decided to take a year off from pretending to be someone else and speak words written by other people in order to save the country, and possibly the world as we know it. 

The Kentucky-born 27-year-old daughter of Gary, a construction worker, and Karen, a summer camp manager, is the youngest of three--having two brothers, Ben and Blaine.

Jennifer suffered from social anxiety and hyperactivity as a child and her mother didn't allow her to play and have fun with her peers. In fact, Jennifer was considered a misfit. [She hated her childhood, which wasn't very long ago.]

But when she pretended to be someone else on stage or in front of the camera, her anxiety level disappeared.

She signed with CESD Talent Agency and they convinced her mother to allow her to audition for roles in LA under the condition that she graduate from high school. She was then home-schooled in LA and graduated.

And now with acting under her belt, a high school diploma and a yen for impeaching President Trump, Jennifer Lawrence intends to take time out to "fix our democracy." She revealed that plan while promoting her new movie "Red Sparrow."

"I'm going to take the next year off," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I'm going to be working with this organization I'm a part of: Represent.Us. It's just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level."

She says her activism work will not be politically partisan. "It's just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state-by-state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy. And then I don't know what I'm going to do next." 

Probably run for president once she's old enough.

Represent.Us claims to bring together "conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections."

Below is a video of Lawrence drinking "a ton of wine" and explaining all about the organization.
Lawrence is not a one-issue activist, however. She is also very involved with climate change, the gender pay gap (which doesn't actually exist) and hating on President Trump.

Last year in a Channel 4 News interview, Jackie Long questioned her about a statement director Darren Aronofsky made at the Venice Film Festival. It begins: "It's a mad time to be alive." Long said those words had an "end of days feeling" and suggested it might resonate with the American public.

"It's scary," the actress cum political pundit responded. "This new language that's forming. I don't recognize it. It's also scary to know that climate change is due to human activity and we continue to ignore it, and the only voice that we really have is through voting."

She went on: "And we voted, and it was really startling. You're watching these hurricanes now and it's hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to feel Mother Nature's rage or wrath."

Ironically, and rather hypocritically, the actress often  takes private jets to travel to acting or activist gigs, putting more carbon emissions into the atmosphere than a family of five does in three years. [I've fudged the actual numbers but you get the idea.]
She wears her heart on her . . . heart

Lawrence has attacked President Trump many times. In 2015 she said, "If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world,"
according to Entertainment Weekly. She even suggested that the Texas and Florida hurricanes were signs of "Mother Nature's rage and wrath" at America for electing Trump and not believing in man-made climate change [a term feminists must find offensive].

Those statements come from Lawrence's deep knowledge of high school meteorology and generalized anxiety.

In spite of her relationship with Represent.Us and it's allegations of being non-partisan, Lawrence joined with dozens of  brave Hollywood trained seals to sign a letter imploring Senate Minority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (Democrat-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (Democrat-Calif.) to pass legislation to protect DACA recipients, [none of whom live near any of those brave Hollywood trained seals, senators, congressmen, congresswomen, or Jennifer Lawrence].

Mental Illness in Political Discourse

One's personal focus is determined by certain psychological factors, some obvious, some not so much. Most behavioral psychologists would agree that people with specific types of mood disorders see the world in predictable ways.

For example, people who suffer from major depression see the world through a dark, dismal lens. Their focus is on their sense of despair and hopelessness and can easily find something to be depressed about in their own life.

Twenty-five years on, the commemorations of September 11 have a settled rhythm. Names are read. Bells are struck. Officials look grave.  Th...
