“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. We’ve heard it through the grapevine that the long-sought for cure for TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) has been discovered by our own Professor ‘Zork’ Zorkophsky who, coincidentally, wrote a book documenting his research that led to his amazing discovery. Welcome to ‘Pulse,’ the most-watched information show in its time slot.”
“And thank you for inviting me to hawk my new soon-to-be-bestseller, for sure. It took many hours of interviewing not my usual nutty patients who suffer from combat-related PTSD, but rather sad citizens who fear the truth, people who drink the Kool-Aid by watching the Fake News.”
“Please explain ‘Fake News.’”
“MSNBC, CNN, The View and Morning Joe, Rachel Maddow and all the other race- and fact-hustlers.”
“We know about the race-hustlers from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but who are the ‘fact-hustlers?’”
“Pocahontas, aka Elizebeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and every registered Democratic voter who repeat the ‘catch word’ of the moment ad nauseum.”
“’Catch word?’”
“That’s right, a catch word or phrase that gets repeated so often that it becomes thought of as true. Take, for instance, ‘Russian Collusion’ when, in fact, there was never any so-called ‘collusion’ with Russia or anybody else. Another one is ‘Fascism’ and ‘No Kings.’“
“So, the purveyors of spreading lies are, what, big business?”
“You bet; catering to the masses, to the gullible, to the uniformed is money in the bank for the midway hucksters.”
“’Midway hucksters?’”
“Senators, Representatives, tele-readers, talk show hosts and hostesses, such as those on ‘The View.’”
“’Tele-readers?’”
“News broadcasters.”
“Oh. Okay, getting back to your book.”
“Yes, the book; that’s why I’m here. Now, not to spoil the ending, but the cure for TDS is convincing the deranged to accept a fact as the truth; in other words, to just lay out the facts on the table for all to see, no sleight of hand, nothing hidden.”
“No jokers?”
“No jokers, just the facts. Trump gets paid $1 a year. A closed border is better for us than a wide-open one. Peace is healthier than war. Drugs and human trafficking are bad. What more do they want?”
“So, what’s your answer?”
“The cure for TDS is presenting facts.”
“That’s it? Just the truth? So, if you accept the truth, you can’t be a Dem, is that what you’re saying?”
“That’s it. If you believe facts, if you believe in the truth, you are, by definition, deranged, according to the Democrats.”
“Let me ask you this: is ‘deranged’ an acceptable professional psychiatric term?”
“Sure is. Let me give you an example: ‘Robert De Niro is deranged because if you asked him to give one, just one, fact that Trump operated against the United States Constitution he couldn’t name one for the simple reason there isn’t any.”
“None?”
“Not a one. But people like De Niro are hopeless, are so far gone into an alternate reality – a fantasy land that lives in their mind – that they couldn’t recognize the truth if it bit them on the nose. They lack the mental capacity to determine what is real and what is in their minds.”
“In other words, what you’re saying, is that people like him are crazy.”
“That’s right, crazy as a loon. Can’t talk specifics and if you nail him on one, he either folds, runs away or, if those defense mechanisms fail, he’ll become a blubbering idiot that must be put in diapers and given a pacifier to shut his lying mouth. He is mentally incapable of recognizing the truth, facts like the rest of humanity knows, but TDS blocks the mind’s ability to recognize reality. Psychotic: broken from reality.”
“Let me see if I understand what you’re saying: people who suffer from TDS are, what, nuts?”
“You bet. And, before you ask, the word ‘nuts’ is an accepted psychiatric medical term used every day by professional psychiatrists such as me. Here’s an example: ‘Pelosi is nuts and needs to be put out to pasture.’”
“I see. So, let me see if I’m understanding you correctly. A person who has the mental, what, disease? Okay, impairment. A person who has the mental impairment who cannot decipher between the truth and a lie is, what, acting like a two-year old’s IQ? Acting and thinking whatever they’re told how to act and think; is that about it?”
“I’m afraid so, Henry. But I know you’re making light of the TDS wagon, but, on the contrary, TDS is a serious mental condition that the cure very well may be only found in a mental institution, I kid you not. These people refuse to accept facts and want to live in some made-up fantasy world where truth has no meaning.”
“No truth? Then what left?”
“Lies, as in the ‘COVID-19 vaccination’ is a vaccination that is not designed to kill you. ‘No Kings’ is another one. We want people to do their own research and not believe the lies from the Fake News.”
“What are the chances of that ever happening?”
“Zero to none, and if you don’t believe me, a person who should’ve been deported may be the next mayor of NYC.”
“You’re back on the Muslim kick?”
“Remember this: if we don’t deport the Muslims, we will have lost our country.”
“So you said.”
“Well, wouldn’t we be ashamed if what I say is true?”
“Well, you got me there, Zork. You’re right, of course, and the vast majority of Americans know you’re right: deport the Muslims because their Sharia Law doesn’t quite mesh with our Constitution.”
“That’s right; in the United States, women have rights whereas in Muslim countries women have no rights except the right to be buried in the middle of nowhere for any made-up reason, the same sorry excuse to murder their daughters or, for that matter, rape, torture and behead any female.”
“That is so true. So the cure for TDS is the ability to think.”
“Sounds simple enough, but look out the window and tell me what you see. You see the Fake News dictating how the stupid people should act and think, or not-think. Robert De Niro comes to mind, him and the rest of the Hollywood loonies. I rest my case.”
“We’ve just run out of time. This government shutdown and constant bashing of Trump are taking our eyes off the ball, and the ball is kicking Muslims out of our country. Wonder if De Niro could ever figure that one out. I’m Henry and, along with Zork, we wish you all a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. I hope your book does really good. Let’s go grab a cheeseburger somewhere. Oh, a new deli opened? A Reuben? Sounds good. Let’s go.”

WHEN I TRY TO ENLARGE THIS PIECE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT READABLE, THE STUPID MULTI COLORED MENU AT LEFT COVERS THE BEGINNING OF EACH LINE ENOUGH TO MAKE READING THE THING SO ANNOYING THAT IM GIVING UP AND DELETING IT.
Rest assured, the real Henry did not submit the above comment.
It is possible that two people can share the same name, but our Henry is a real frog that speaks English. We know of no other frog that speaks English although that possibility exists, I’m sure.
Our Henry did not post the disgusting comment, “WHEN I TRY…”
Zork
Odd. I’ve had to do that too, but on other sites, not here.
