Many leftists have suffered from a rare disorder since President Trump was elected in 2016. It clouds judgment, affects decision-making, and prompts many Hollywood celebrities to make hollow promises to leave the country, only to disappoint all of us.
It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and while it isn’t actually a diagnosable illness, the former president has indeed lived rent-free in the heads of many on the left and still does even nearly three years since Joe Biden took the keys to a humming economy and promptly crashed into a tree.
While the mainstream media and social media tolerated and even encouraged the hostility toward Trump and his voters, one female comedian actually crossed the line and earned herself a heaping helping of cancellation.
Kathy Griffin, the once-popular comedian, had such a bad case of TDS that she made the nearly career-ending mistake of posing with a bloody, severed head of Trump for a photo shoot that was as crass and inappropriate as anything seen in recent memory, especially since a sitting President was the subject.
Recently, Griffin related that she has PTSD from the former President’s Administration, and she has an unusual way of dealing with her alleged condition. She said in an interview about her barnyard routine: “It’s when I get on all fours like a kitty cat and then I arch my back and I am instructed by my teacher to say the word meow. I feel like a fucking fool, but I do it.”
Griffin is referring to her yoga routine. While most people use the practice to relax and stretch, Griffin practices sounding like the classic “See and Say” toy. Griffin was ultimately investigated by the DOJ for her violent posturing towards President Trump, and had her career effectively taken away from her.
She continued: “I actually do have PTSD, and I’m laughing because I thought that was only for combat veterans. But apparently if you’re put under investigation by the Department of Justice, and the president wants you to be charged with conspiracy to assassinate the president, and you’re put on the No Fly List, and then your tour is canceled because of bomb threats, and then your phone doesn’t ring for six years, and then you get cancer and lose part of your voice ’cause half of your lung is gone, you gotta laugh about it.”
At least someone is laughing. In many countries, a stunt like Griffin pulled would land her in a Gulag or worse. However, in America, all she had to deal with was a mild cancellation. While she is getting an undeserved second chance at a career, many haven’t forgotten her actions.
The real tell will be what happens if President Trump gets reelected for another term. Has Griffin learned her lesson, or will she forget the last six years of investigations and unemployment? The smart money says she forgets and succumbs to her TDS, but time will tell. Age usually makes one wiser, but in this case, Griffin’s memory may fail her and land her back on the cancellation list once again.
