Mental health experts from several renowned scientific communities have recently issued a colloborative study that indicates long haul Trump could be far more pervasive and debilitating than the regular form of Trump. Although the typical eitiology of Trump, which includes rampant corruption, inciting insurrection, insidious cronyism and nepotism, indisputable narcissism, unrestrained graft, blatant incompetence, habitual lying, willful disregard of public health and scientific expertise, moral degeneracy, overt racism, unfettered misogyny, heartless mockery of the handicapped, lawless obstruction, abuse of power, distain of laws and institutions, eschewing responsibilty, and general ignorance of history and the U.S. constitution, as well as many things rooted in reality, is difficult to deal with, it was assumed that as it ran it’s four year course the misery would subside.
Regarding personal symptomology, the study confirmed that long haul Trump is similar to the garden variety of Trump- lethargy, headache, nausea and vomitng, diarrhea, constipation, depression, suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite, polyphagia, anxiety, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, double vision, hemorrhoids, essential tremor, antisocial behavior, and almost anything else that is wrong with you. However, there are two important symptoms that are much more prevalent in long haul Trump. First, an overwhelming sense that Trump will never go away, and second, a crushing conviction that American democracy is teetering on the verge of collapse.
We are frustratingly close to both prevention and a cure for Trump in all its forms. All that is required is for Republican leadership to start telling the truth. And above all else, why that is not happening is what is so perplexing about the Trump contageon. What is it about it that transforms the moral spine of intelligent Republican members of congress into a gellatanous mass of sinister pusillanimity? To the embarrassment of many, there will be a future study that gives us the answer to that question.
