Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, October 02, 2026

Not that it matters to President Trump, but a lot of Americans are not fans. They don't like his public vulgarity, his narcissism, his appetite for vengeance and a lot more.

But that doesn't necessarily mean they have Trump Derangement Syndrome, the catch-all diagnosis his supporters like to apply to anyone who finds him objectionable.

They may have another condition brought on by the president. There's a good chance they're suffering from Trump Fatigue.

I know the symptoms because I have it.

"Every day with this president, something new hits the fan. Trump may need a daily dose of chaos, but the rest of us don't. Chaos and controversy may be his oxygen.

They may be what energize him. But after all these years, they're what wear a lot of us out.

And there's rarely time to digest one controversy before the next one comes barreling down the road and smacks us in the mouth."

"Trump Derangement Syndrome is supposed to describe people who can't stop thinking about Trump. Trump Fatigue describes people who would occasionally like the opportunity to stop thinking about him.

But Trump makes that almost impossible. He doesn't merely occupy the presidency. He occupies the national conversation.

Morning, noon and night, there he is " demanding attention, picking a fight, settling a score, bestowing a nickname, announcing something nobody saw coming.

And after nearly a decade of this, maybe the remarkable thing isn't that some Americans are outraged by Donald Trump. Maybe it's that a lot of us are just plain tired."

Honestly, I'm mostly tired of him breathing.

Americans with any sense of morality are suffering from daily trauma from President Piggy.

Many will be experiencing PTSD in the years to come.

I am not joking about this.

If there really is a hell, fuck the brimstone, fire and pitchforks- it will simply be a chair in a small room and nonstop Trump TV 24-7-365 for all eternity.

That's the plan.

A constant bombardment of fraud, criminality and chaos until people simply give up.

You can't pay attention to what Trump did yesterday if you're distracted by what he's done today.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to America in my lifetime.

= Trump is the worst thing to happen to America in my lifetime.

I always thought that was going to be the assassinations of my early heroes John, Bobby, and Martin. And then the criminal Nixon and 'Nam, the war of choice.

And then Reagan and GW, Trickle Down and Dumbo.

But noooo..... we have to have a mockery of a human being actually running the country, and for a second time even; running it and us into the ground and to, I fear, ultimate ruin if he isn't stopped, and stopped soon.

I remember in senior year high school watching this dumb lady in a Palin t-shirt (in proto-MAGA red) insist to John McCain that Obama was an ay-rab and that she didn't trust him and McCain had to actually tell her that he wasn't an arab and actually a decent man.

We discussed it in our US government class the following day and I told the teacher that, although I felt McCain and Palin would lose, we would eventually get a male version of Palin in the WH and he would hire people like this dumb lady to work for him.

And then it happened. Twice.
