To the editor:
It would seem that Justin Raimondo suffers from the polar affliction TAS, or Trump Apology Syndrome. (“Do you suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome?,” Dec. 27)
The many cases I have seen over the last six months seem to be primarily delusional in nature, characterized by a complete and utter inability to recognize statements made by President-elect Donald Trump for what they are. Many of those who voted for Trump did so based upon his ability to “say what he means,” except now it seems no one wants to admit the he “means what he says.”
The primary and secondary stages of TAS, while not generally dangerous, can be extremely annoying. Later stages, however, are thought to be fatal to the general health and well-being of the country and its political system.
When coming in contact with anyone who is in the throes of TAS, it is best not to excite them too much; under no circumstances should you cite facts or statistics, and please do not quote Trump in the presence of the patient.

Note from KBJ: What Thomas Sexton really hates is that, after eight years, we finally have a president who loves his country and wants to make it great again. Get some help with your Trump Derangement Syndrome, Tom. In the meantime, stop making a fool of yourself.
