In a recent letter addressed to various critics of President Donald Trump, local resident Larry Moore expressed his views on what he terms “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS). Moore’s letter, published in the Santa Clarita Valley Signal, urges understanding and forgiveness for those he accuses of spreading misinformation about Trump and his administration.
Moore claims that TDS is a “scientifically diagnosed condition” affecting many individuals, particularly those he labels as “radical left.” He specifically named critics including Gary Horton, Jonathan Kraut, Lois Eisenberg, and Andrew Taban, suggesting that their writings comprise half-truths and falsehoods about the President. In his view, these individuals are incapable of controlling their narratives due to the effects of TDS.
In his message of forgiveness, Moore addressed several specific claims he deemed misleading. He accused the critics of asserting that Trump poses a threat to democracy, which he described as a “blatant lie.” He also criticized allegations that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency engages in the abduction of innocent Americans, labeling this assertion as a myth. Furthermore, Moore refuted claims that military pilots were responsible for the deaths of Venezuelan fishermen as entirely fabricated.
Moore’s letter extended to include comments on political figures such as Gavin Newsom, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell, whom he categorized as “liars.” He expressed concern for those who rely on popular media figures like Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and the show Morning Joe for their news, suggesting that these sources contribute to a distorted perception of reality.
In a tone that blended criticism with compassion, Moore concluded his letter with a wish for a scientific breakthrough that would provide a “cure” for TDS, hoping that the coming year would bring clarity and understanding. He signed off with a festive message, wishing readers a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Moore’s letter highlights the ongoing political tensions in the United States, where opinions on Trump and his administration continue to evoke strong reactions. As the nation approaches the New Year, discussions surrounding political discourse and the importance of fostering a more constructive dialogue remain crucial.
