As a non-psychiatrist (boards in surgery and environmental medicine after I developed soap allergies) I try to find a rational explanation for Trump Derangement. I don’t support EVERYTHING he has done (but he’s done a lot of good things), he’s a little coarse (although as a man, I don’t have pearls to clutch) (and LBJ wasn’t exactly Mr Manners) so the hysterical hatred of the TDS folks is puzzling. What, exactly, is it that they hate? Is it because he has stopped (at least for now) the momentum toward One World Government and one party (Democratic) rule? (What they refer to as Our Democracy) (which they certainly will not share with us deplorables). Is it some sort of spiritual thing-e.g., rule of Antichrist? TDS does not stand on its own. There is something irrational powering it as there is nothing obvious to explain it. Suggestions welcome
Trump is attacking the interests of very powerful people. From the beginning, he attacked the interests on both Left and Right that want illegal immigration. Businessmen want the cheap labor and the left wants the votes and organizing manpower. In Trump term II, he is directly attacking the financial flows to his political enemies with a lot more precision and effectiveness than Trump I could muster. 4 years in the wilderness allowed Team Trump to analyze and understand how the Left is financed. Shutting down USAID was a master-stroke. Globalism is big business, and Trump is going for its jugular vein.
Yes Andrew, this is 💯 the reason. People think Globalism is some sweet unifying One World thing. It’s definitely not that. Globalism, Communism, Socialism, Islamism, Climate Crisis——it’s all the same, it’s all about control, power and massive profit stripped from American taxpayers and given to these oligarchs. The Brits/City of London (who control Iran) are the leaders of it and likely are behind the assassination attempts. It’s a hugely profitable system for them & Trump is dumping it for the American System, which benefits all American workers. Obama & his henchmen directed Russiagate, but it was all based on the lies of Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent. January 6th was an orchestrated plot, with hundreds of Feds in the crowd. The media is total propaganda and they’re lockstep with the regime. They’ve all been radicalized and aren’t functioning human beings. These are the same people who fell for Fauci and the giant psyop that was Covid and who wanted vaccine passports. The ones who can’t think on their own but can be manipulated at the drop of a hat.
You are spot on regarding the inability of half of America to function as normal people. It has shocked me to see their sickness, anger, hated and violence. There are so many people praying for murder and violence, and no matter what happens in our elections, they will still be that way. It is a permanent insanity.
I agree, I think it's probably permanent. In some states more than others. Although Sasha saw through them. And I think with the now open promotion of communism and islamism, others may still have TDS, but can see that communism will not work with the American system. So some mainstream Dems are publicly backing away---let's hope and pray that continues.
Indeed I can Susan, and it will blow your socks off! Welcome to the 50,000 feet view of what's going on REALLY: Promethean Action. It's two women historians who have been at this fight since the 70s and they know their stuff. It's wild! I found them about a year ago from a Substack commenter. Here's this Monday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYjd-qdPaxs
The entire landscape is different than what we have all been told for decades. The British Empire & City of London banking profit enormously off of controlling Iran, the oil, the terrorism, the billions in insurance through Lloyds of London. Trump is a HUGE threat to them and Globalism. You are in for a treat!
It's not appalling, it's exciting to finally understand who the manipulators are, why they do it, who benefits, and how they hide their involvement. They are incredible.
Yup! USAID was the piggybank that funded all the dems protests and subversion tactics. He hurt them bad. I don't think that is over. Follow where that money went and finally hold somebody accountable so we can watch a purp walk!
It’s interesting that the movie, The Manchurian Candidate, with Frank Sinatra as the star, came out just before the Kennedy assassination. You may remember Kennedy dissed Sinatra after his election by not showing up for a Palm Springs rendezvous because he didn’t want to appear too close to the Mafia. But, Sinatra got his pound of flesh soon after.
Trump, at eighty, is cavalier with his life and the Secret Service is left scrambling to protect him. Those who dislike J D Vance may eventually get egg on their face — especially on the Left.
They (the democrats) knew he would finally see all the back room dirty deals. The slime that covers the democrats and their supporters has oozed out and has swallowed up the lefty loons.
I don’t think that slime washes off very easily, IF EVER!! They’re in too deep now.
Pray for our Country!! Pray for our President!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Let's not forget that in 16 it was Shrillary's turn. Then, after Joetato blew up in their faces, it was CamelToe's turn. To paraphrase that great humanitarian, Greta Turdberg, "How dare you?!!!"
Bingo! Those nihilists have one remaining religion ---their poltical power. Their ability to reign supreme, due to mega-narcissism, must prosper by any means necessary.
It mystifies me, too. I've read allusions to something called "the contagion heuristic," and its fraternal twin, "the contamination heuristic." This isn't stigma if I understand stigma correctly, but it is irrational. It explains everything from Beatlemania to the outcast.
Trump is abrasive, as if Norm MacDonald wasn't? But all of these vacuous nits take their cues from the hive. Trump is hated because Trump MUST be hated, he's Hitler! dontcha know?
They don’t even know. They are godless idiots who suck in the propaganda like air. It’s good versus evil. It seems to be spiritual. There is no rational explanation. It’s so irrational that the next step is to elect actual communists and fascists. They are 💯 emotional, no intellectual capacity whatsoever.
"There is something irrational powering it as there is nothing obvious to explain it."
I'm not sure that "irrational" really applies, but perhaps "un"rational?
I agree that the presenting symptoms are irrational, but their origin, I am thoroughly convinced, is not.
Concisely: there is nothing rational about a dog salivating at the sound of a bell, until we become acquainted with Pavlov and familiarize ourselves with his hypothesis and experimental methodologies.
I also think that the origins of TDS predate President Trump's candidacy.
Partly, they are founded on ordinary human trait expression, but not entirely so. There is another layer, one I first experienced myself, back in 1974 as an alienated adolescent. That layer is most easily recognized as the outward manifestation of ideological purity.
Pavlov, Skinner, Staddon et al, each experimented with adaptive learning and behavior. The dog salivated because of an inculcated association, repetitive imposition of unconditioned stimuli. So, also did the rats leap and cower.
At the first sound of a rattlesnake, I jump backward about three feet. It's a conditioned response from living and working outside in rattlesnake-infested rural areas. There is no thought; it's irrational and instantaneous.
A conversation about the Long March and my own direct participation in it (and subsequent repentance) would be overlong and tedious, so I'll just leave it at a multigenerational dilution of liberalism, with each generation being subject to indoctrination of illiberal values at an earlier age.
TDS is a conditioned response. The associative stimuli are everywhere, and reinforced by interpersonal feedback loops. Critical thinking isn't actually absent, it has simply been bypassed by means of applied behavioral science.
The applicational motives are multivariate, but the commonality is self-interest. The conversation ranges into the realm of applied general semantics and Thalerism. but this reply is becoming overlong. Others are supplying details of the associations and examples of self-interest.
the simplistic good vs. bad, us vs. them = TDS. having to deal with the uniparty vs the people is waaay harder, requiring serious long-term strategies and deeper global analysis. DJT has obvious flaws making him an easy target. it's the same irrational conviction for the 'safe and effective' vaccines - despite irrefutable statistics proving the reverse. infuriating for us using logic - yet unshakeable.
They are lazy and hating Trump makes it easy to fill in the hours of Cable News. Oh yeah and they are low IQ teleprompter reads that are boarder like retarded.
This is essentially a battle between good vs. evil. Light vs darkness.
The Statue of Liberty holds a torch aloft to represent America as the beacon of light (i.e., good) in this world.
Trump is restoring America to values originally based in its Judaeo-Christian roots. The forces of evil are therefore aligned against him because they hate all that is good and love all that is dark (i.e., evil).
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

He is a white dude upending all aspects of the progressive movement. And that is an itch that never goes away. The Democrats put in a Supreme Court Justice (who cannot define a women) because that nominee was a Black female. Trump will put women in positions of power but if they F up he fires them. If a female attacks him in the media or elsewhere he hits back. And it’s not just women or blacks. It’s anyone who says and does idiotic things that the identity politics progressive movement supports. The Democrats are ruthless. And the GOP never ever meets the moment. They have the House and Senate. They can’t even find a way to get the policies of the Save Act pushed through. They won’t even try. The Democrats tried bankrupting Trump. They tried keeping him off ballots. They tried putting him in prison. They tried murdering him. The evidence is out there that Obama, Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page influenced an election with lies and criminal behavior and what has the GOP done? Nothing. There are so many areas where the GOP is doing nothing. AG Pam Bondi wasted valuable time doing nothing. AG Blanche is not much better IMO. Every time the Democrats do something outrageous, and even criminal, the GOP gives them a pass. On everything. Which means, when the Democrats get power again, there will be more of the same. The GOP is largely cowardly, weak, feckless and impotent.
I'm sorry, but as someone who is lamenting the loss of a truly great environmental and food allergist, I must ask how you have managed a soap allergy. Also can you recommend a good allergist (or are you in practice?)
Google LDA physicians on shaders website and fine one near you. It works great food allergy especially and no deaths or serious complications since inception in 1970s. I’m retired. I got the soap allergy scrubbing on 605 operations a year
TDS is the result of the largest, most comprehensive, most concentrated propaganda campaign in human history. Given it's actual result - Trump in power and current Trump control over the other two branches, nation divided and weakened, globalism on life support - it hasn't actually been as successful as those Davos morons had hoped.
Its all money and manipulation. The tiller on federal largess and the resulting big guy cuts are enormous. Trump gives them some fodder, but most of their womanizing complaints were baked into the pie already. Trump was a known commodity. So from there the media and the "opposition" have decided to dwell on the negative and never leave it. This is the poisonous hatred that brings people down (expecially the hater). Once you choose that route, there is never an end to material. Everything bad, and I do mean everything, can be heaped on the pile and repeated on endless and breathless loops. Never a positive moment (let that sink in). We were essentially treated to this with W, Reagan especially, Nixon, and the thinking that Goldwater was going to kill us all with a nuclear war. It will be no different for any Republican who becomes President. The die is cast.
We've been building up a solid case of marxist fake-victim-itis via corruption introduced by academia and enforced by HR and Legal for the last 40 years. It was a response to the insult to our elites of mere citizens electing a TV/Movie cowboy as president. The intent was to infect the children of those unfortunately normal people and abnormalize the kids.
It worked. The rot goes deep. The casual assumption that 1. Somebody done somebody wrong and 2. Im gonna not gonna stand for it has slowly beenedited to “Whitey done some noble black aristocrat wrong” and “hater done some beautiful gay boy wrong” (both of which were aggregate “damned lies” and statistics) to “Some cis/white/hetero extremist (normal decent people who did nothing) done our rapist/jihidi/tranny/black power monster wrong’.
We (I) didnt reject the little marxist victim oppressor lie and they just kept on layering on more to the minds of each successive generation.
And they did it intentionally.
So once you get to Trump, who is enough of an asshole and narcissist to scoff at their layered lies and call it bullshit, they have this layered defense of increasingly narcissistic reality disconnected automata. Of all types: scandalized grandparents down to blue haired loonies who are happy to protest in favor of Islam and who are increasingly happy to kill.
In short - the GOP big tent is for free thinkers and those capable of thinking outside of jingoistic tropes. The Democrat big tent is open only to "victims" who belong to any "identity group". Except for victims who are white, male, hetero and conservative.
This is exactly what a Russian Spy who defected from The KGB tried to warn us about. He risked his life to defect from The KGB. He knew that if he was caught that he would be arrested and most likely killed. His name was Yuri Bezmenov. He finally made his way into The United States and he did numerous interviews during the 1980’s. He explained in detail how it would only take two generations for “Psychological Subversion” to brainwash and psychologically manipulate the youth. Teach them how to hate their country, and turn America into a Communist State.
(The Yuri Bezmenov Substack channel is not the real person who defected. )
Here is the full interview of Yuri Bezmenov explaining how quickly America will become a Communist State.

You are spot on! Hillary Rodham (Clinton) wrote an Under Graduate Thesis (92 pages) about her mentor, Saul Lewinsky who authored “The Rules For Radicals.” She was so impressed and mesmerized by a Socialist (Communist) so-called Community Organizer that she wrote him a letter, asking him to let her join his movement. Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to “Lucifer the first radical who won his own kingdom.”
Hillary Clinton bragged about sacrificing chickens to Moloch (A Satanic Entity), during Bill Clinton’s tenure as Governor of Arkansas.
Yuri Bezmenov died at the age of 53 in January 5, 1993.
I haven’t read or subscribed to the Substack “Yuri Bezmenov” because I know he died in 1993. I will have check out if this is some Liberal propaganda or if it’s really dedicated to Yuri.
I'm not sure what's worse, that people are gleefully contemplating the assassination of a sitting president, or that they are so willing to film their psychosis and display it for the world to see.
There's more fodder than Libs of TikTok can begin to curate.
" As Albert Brooks once said in Broadcast News - Never forget, WE ARE THE STORY:"
The Rise of the Influencer Anchor: The movie showcases Tom Grunick (William Hurt), a charismatic but empty anchor who excels at flash over substance. Today, media thrives on personality-driven, emotionally manipulative storytelling over traditional, dry objective reporting
Kaitlan Collins , Jake Tapper and all the jackals at CNN,MSNBC etc., all are waiting to feast on the blood of Trump and anyone in his administration if they stumble or are wounded.
For some time I've wanted a sequel to Broadcast News, showing (honestly) what happened to the profession, how it was influenced by money and power, as opposed to being a force that pushed against money and power (as it is supposed to be). There used to be a wall between the business and editorial sides of news organizations (print and otherwise). How did it come down? I think that would be a really great thriller.
At least half of the corrosive influence on media is from Big Pharma. Slowly but surely they are basically the only advertisers on MSM and thus pay everyone's salaries, so none of them pushed back on Fauci, Covid, destructive & deadly vaccines, vaccine passports, and on and on. This is "the news" to the dummies.
If you actually think the French Revolution was a good thing, then wanting America to experience a form of it makes sense.
I loathed Biden. I never wanted him assassinated. That's not how we do things, we vote to change leaders, except for you soulless ghouls who think it's cooler to assassinate people and fantasize about seeing your president get killed.
The French Revolution (1789) and the Bolshevik Revolution (1917) followed the same script: They cannibalized themselves. Our 21st century LeftoFascisms could easily repeat the pattern.
Hmmm 🤔 Maybe you should pick up a Holy Bible and start reading it then you will understand why you must respect yourself so that you can respect others. If you don’t know the ancient scriptures of Holy Men, including Jesus Christ then you will never reach Heaven.
Most people don't understand the real purpose of the pied-a-terre tax. Most of the owners of those supposedly vacant units actually live in the units most of the time. They just have official residency elsewhere to evade the extremely onerous NYC taxes including city income tax. Mamdani is giving them a catch-22. Either prove you are a NYC resident to avoid this tax (and have to pay back taxes on income to the city), or else pay the new pied-a-terre tax and keep your NJ or CT residency.
It is not "all good". NY City has always been a very high tax place and people go to extraordinary lengths to minimize those taxes. Mayors like Mamdani have huge spending ambitions and want more more more.
Aren't all properties taxed already, regardless of whether it's someone's first, second, or third home? Is there a discount for primary residence and is that what Mamdani's proposed tax about? That the second home is taxed at the full amount?
The Media has enormous interests. They know where their bread is buttered. Trump has been systematically attacking their sources of government and institutional revenue that keep them alive - the same sources that fund the Democratic Party. More than that, he is attacking their power - the power to create and enforce a narrative. Without narrative power, they have nothing. Of course the Media needs to destroy Trump. Remember, there is no money in real journalism. None. Zero. The money is in Narrative control.
Well, this brought out the crazies. I suppose that was the whole point. I almost got swept up in it. Well done. Your point of view is important. Keep it up.
Sasha, it is important to recognize that the media is a business. It caters to its customers. This applies to both the left and the right. They want to stay in business, so the give their customers what they want to hear. They are not reporters, they are business people. To think otherwise is naïve. How do we fix this problem? It has been around forever, and, other than buying them out, nobody has ever come up with a solution that I know of.
The vile and constant psychotic hatred from the Left has inspired an unprecedented six men with guns to come for Trump.
1. Thomas Matthew Crooks — Shot at Trump during the July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
2. Ryan Wesley Routh — Arrested after being found with a rifle near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach in September 2024; prosecutors alleged an assassination attempt.
3. Vem Miller — Arrested at a Trump rally security checkpoint in Coachella, California, in October 2024 with a loaded shotgun, handgun, ammunition, and fake passports.
4. Manuel Tamayo-Torres — Arrested in Arizona after allegedly making threats against Trump and his family; investigators said he appeared in videos displaying an AR-15-style rifle and other weapons.
5. Ronald Syvrud — Arrested in Arizona after allegedly making social media threats to kill Trump while Trump was visiting the state.
6. The Mar-a-Lago armed intruder — An armed man breached the secure perimeter of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property and was killed by Secret Service agents.

So from there the media and the "opposition" have decided to dwell on the negative and never leave it. This is the poisonous hatred that brings people down (expecially the hater). Once you choose that route, there is never an end to material. Everything bad, and I do mean everything, can be heaped on the pile and repeated on endless and breathless loops. Never a positive moment (let that sink in). We were essentially treated to this with W, Reagan especially, Nixon, and the thinking that Goldwater was going to kill us all with a nuclear war. It will be no different for any Republican who becomes President. The die is cast.
Seems to me Robin, by the semi-pompous attitude in your post, you already have it fingered out.
Huh??
We've been building up a solid case of marxist fake-victim-itis via corruption introduced by academia and enforced by HR and Legal for the last 40 years. It was a response to the insult to our elites of mere citizens electing a TV/Movie cowboy as president. The intent was to infect the children of those unfortunately normal people and abnormalize the kids.
It worked. The rot goes deep. The casual assumption that 1. Somebody done somebody wrong and 2. Im gonna not gonna stand for it has slowly beenedited to “Whitey done some noble black aristocrat wrong” and “hater done some beautiful gay boy wrong” (both of which were aggregate “damned lies” and statistics) to “Some cis/white/hetero extremist (normal decent people who did nothing) done our rapist/jihidi/tranny/black power monster wrong’.
We (I) didnt reject the little marxist victim oppressor lie and they just kept on layering on more to the minds of each successive generation.
And they did it intentionally.
So once you get to Trump, who is enough of an asshole and narcissist to scoff at their layered lies and call it bullshit, they have this layered defense of increasingly narcissistic reality disconnected automata. Of all types: scandalized grandparents down to blue haired loonies who are happy to protest in favor of Islam and who are increasingly happy to kill.
In short - the GOP big tent is for free thinkers and those capable of thinking outside of jingoistic tropes. The Democrat big tent is open only to "victims" who belong to any "identity group". Except for victims who are white, male, hetero and conservative.
Yes
This is exactly what a Russian Spy who defected from The KGB tried to warn us about. He risked his life to defect from The KGB. He knew that if he was caught that he would be arrested and most likely killed. His name was Yuri Bezmenov. He finally made his way into The United States and he did numerous interviews during the 1980’s. He explained in detail how it would only take two generations for “Psychological Subversion” to brainwash and psychologically manipulate the youth. Teach them how to hate their country, and turn America into a Communist State.
(The Yuri Bezmenov Substack channel is not the real person who defected. )
Here is the full interview of Yuri Bezmenov explaining how quickly America will become a Communist State.

Thank you for this. Sent it to myself. I have people in my life who refuse to even look at facts that conflict with the hive mind of leftist ideology.
This is essentially a battle between good vs. evil. Light vs darkness.
The Statue of Liberty holds a torch aloft to represent America as the beacon of light (i.e., good) in this world.
Trump is restoring America to values originally based in its Judaeo-Christian roots. The forces of evil are therefore aligned against him because they hate all that is good and love all that is dark (i.e., evil).
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
— SAUL ALINSKY
The dedication included in his book titled Rules for Radicals (originally titled Rules for Revolution)
You are spot on! Hillary Rodham (Clinton) wrote an Under Graduate Thesis (92 pages) about her mentor, Saul Lewinsky who authored “The Rules For Radicals.” She was so impressed and mesmerized by a Socialist (Communist) so-called Community Organizer that she wrote him a letter, asking him to let her join his movement. Saul Alinsky dedicated his book to “Lucifer the first radical who won his own kingdom.”
Hillary Clinton bragged about sacrificing chickens to Moloch (A Satanic Entity), during Bill Clinton’s tenure as Governor of Arkansas.

I was wondering abt Yuri’s Substack. Is it a relation? At first, it was what happened to him. His story.
Yuri Bezmenov died at the age of 53 in January 5, 1993.
I haven’t read or subscribed to the Substack “Yuri Bezmenov” because I know he died in 1993. I will have check out if this is some Liberal propaganda or if it’s really dedicated to Yuri.
It is definitely dedicated to the real YB and the author is quite conservative.

Wow, interesting and eye opening
Deleting your threatening comments will not work. We have the screenshots.
Can you post the screenshot and then we can all report him and block him?
He has been reported, removed and banned from this substack. Hopefully the FBI has him on their list.
I'm not sure what's worse, that people are gleefully contemplating the assassination of a sitting president, or that they are so willing to film their psychosis and display it for the world to see.
There's more fodder than Libs of TikTok can begin to curate.
It’s not just the Iranians.
The vile and constant psychotic hatred from the Left has inspired an unprecedented six men with guns to come for Trump.
" As Albert Brooks once said in Broadcast News - Never forget, WE ARE THE STORY:"
The Rise of the Influencer Anchor: The movie showcases Tom Grunick (William Hurt), a charismatic but empty anchor who excels at flash over substance. Today, media thrives on personality-driven, emotionally manipulative storytelling over traditional, dry objective reporting
Kaitlan Collins , Jake Tapper and all the jackals at CNN,MSNBC etc., all are waiting to feast on the blood of Trump and anyone in his administration if they stumble or are wounded.
These are seriously sick people.
For some time I've wanted a sequel to Broadcast News, showing (honestly) what happened to the profession, how it was influenced by money and power, as opposed to being a force that pushed against money and power (as it is supposed to be). There used to be a wall between the business and editorial sides of news organizations (print and otherwise). How did it come down? I think that would be a really great thriller.
At least half of the corrosive influence on media is from Big Pharma. Slowly but surely they are basically the only advertisers on MSM and thus pay everyone's salaries, so none of them pushed back on Fauci, Covid, destructive & deadly vaccines, vaccine passports, and on and on. This is "the news" to the dummies.
Paddy Chayefsky was way ahead of his time
Oh, I should watch that again. It's been years.
Are you kidding me? They are loving it! Half of the country would be dancing in the streets if Trump got assassinated. Shameful, but sadly true.
She's human excrement people. Don't give her the attention she craves. Report to Substack, mute, block, flush.
What is shameful about celebration of the death of a tyrant?
If you actually think the French Revolution was a good thing, then wanting America to experience a form of it makes sense.
I loathed Biden. I never wanted him assassinated. That's not how we do things, we vote to change leaders, except for you soulless ghouls who think it's cooler to assassinate people and fantasize about seeing your president get killed.
The French Revolution (1789) and the Bolshevik Revolution (1917) followed the same script: They cannibalized themselves. Our 21st century LeftoFascisms could easily repeat the pattern.
Except. Social media. We need to be on guard. Look for the lowest denominator. Assume no values are shared anymore. They. Are. Not.
Kids don’t even learn about the French Revolution. They don’t read Dickens.
It is disgusting that media is more concerned about their safety AND When we all know They Are Rooting for a U S President to go down.
IF that happens. Look out. They only look in their mirrors. They have no idea.
And, BTW, it has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with Country. For which a living President is a symbol.
Trump feasted on the organs of human beings? Wow. Got any proof?
“Tell the Big Lie often enough and loud enough until everyone believes it.” --- Josef Goebbels
Does not know what "literally" means.☝🏽
Since the comment is removed I don't know if he/she misused "literally" or not, but people seem to be working hard these days to redefine it.
The commenter wrote something like "Trump literally feasts on the organs of human beings".
World war 22?
Trump isn’t a tyrant, though.
You’re not a good person
Nothing. That's why we’re dealing with Son of Ayatollah. Now what does that have to do with the President?
What is shameful about celebrating anyone's murder.
Hmmm 🤔 Maybe you should pick up a Holy Bible and start reading it then you will understand why you must respect yourself so that you can respect others. If you don’t know the ancient scriptures of Holy Men, including Jesus Christ then you will never reach Heaven.
If you don’t know then you haven’t a good soul
Where do you live?
Thank you Sasha! 👏👏👏
The left is the party of hate, violence and divisiveness. That is the truth
The Left, through their rhetoric, created a permission environment where radical leftists feel obligated to assassinate him.
Mamdani is doing the same with his Assault Lists (pied-a-terre) tax doxxings
Most people don't understand the real purpose of the pied-a-terre tax. Most of the owners of those supposedly vacant units actually live in the units most of the time. They just have official residency elsewhere to evade the extremely onerous NYC taxes including city income tax. Mamdani is giving them a catch-22. Either prove you are a NYC resident to avoid this tax (and have to pay back taxes on income to the city), or else pay the new pied-a-terre tax and keep your NJ or CT residency.
So it's all good until it comes for you? The marxists will move the goalposts...slippery slope my friend.
It is not "all good". NY City has always been a very high tax place and people go to extraordinary lengths to minimize those taxes. Mayors like Mamdani have huge spending ambitions and want more more more.
Aren't all properties taxed already, regardless of whether it's someone's first, second, or third home? Is there a discount for primary residence and is that what Mamdani's proposed tax about? That the second home is taxed at the full amount?
The pied-a-terre tax is a new extra tax on properties owned by people who aren't living in the units or renting them out.
Thank you. So, in effect, it serves as a penalty for making such an investment.
Anyone who owns property in NY or anywhere already pays property taxes, regardless of how many homes you own or where your official residency is.
This is supposed to be an extra penalty tax on non-resident owners.
Yes, and you are charged and guilty until you can prove yourself innocent.
Just wait till that money runs out, which will be quick, and the tax starts hitting houses that are valued at 500000.00. ? And you live in them
Plausible hypothesis, Andrew, but how do we test it?
The test is how many of these units owned by supposed non-residents get sold or rented out when the tax is implemented.
Some do, most don’t.
The Media has enormous interests. They know where their bread is buttered. Trump has been systematically attacking their sources of government and institutional revenue that keep them alive - the same sources that fund the Democratic Party. More than that, he is attacking their power - the power to create and enforce a narrative. Without narrative power, they have nothing. Of course the Media needs to destroy Trump. Remember, there is no money in real journalism. None. Zero. The money is in Narrative control.
The fact that none of these psychos have succeeded at killing our President may be due more to God's grace and protection than to the Secret Service.
It's never a bad idea to hang with the Jews. They might have even been chosen for this.
Thank you again Sasha - you have again captured the lunacy of the legacy media
Important:
Be sure to send screen shots of death threats like this below to the FBI Hotline. This is coming from outside America. Be sure to identify the writer:

Yes, I do wish harm on president trump. But it's kind of difficult to wish harm upon a non human.”
Well, this brought out the crazies. I suppose that was the whole point. I almost got swept up in it. Well done. Your point of view is important. Keep it up.
Sasha, it is important to recognize that the media is a business. It caters to its customers. This applies to both the left and the right. They want to stay in business, so the give their customers what they want to hear. They are not reporters, they are business people. To think otherwise is naïve. How do we fix this problem? It has been around forever, and, other than buying them out, nobody has ever come up with a solution that I know of.
The vile and constant psychotic hatred from the Left has inspired an unprecedented six men with guns to come for Trump.
1. Thomas Matthew Crooks — Shot at Trump during the July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
2. Ryan Wesley Routh — Arrested after being found with a rifle near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach in September 2024; prosecutors alleged an assassination attempt.
3. Vem Miller — Arrested at a Trump rally security checkpoint in Coachella, California, in October 2024 with a loaded shotgun, handgun, ammunition, and fake passports.
4. Manuel Tamayo-Torres — Arrested in Arizona after allegedly making threats against Trump and his family; investigators said he appeared in videos displaying an AR-15-style rifle and other weapons.
5. Ronald Syvrud — Arrested in Arizona after allegedly making social media threats to kill Trump while Trump was visiting the state.
6. The Mar-a-Lago armed intruder — An armed man breached the secure perimeter of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property and was killed by Secret Service agents.
The pattern is unmistakable (Paris 1789, Russia 1917, China 1945, Cuba 1954). The trajectory is predictable. Take their word for it. They mean it.
