Trump phobia. America’s Most Prevalent Mental Illness
There are more than 200 classified forms of mental illness according to information we gleaned from the internet. There are hundreds of physical diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Covid 19 to name a few. The powers that be in the Psychiatric World even have an alphabetical listing of mental illnesses. What is shocking is that the mental illness that probably affects more people in the United States than any other, Trump phobia, is not listed. Trump phobia is an irrational fear of Donald Trump.
People who suffer from this mental illness exhibit many strange behaviors. The behaviors vary so much it is difficult to determine what they specifically fear from Donald Trump. From the time Trump first announced his candidacy for President, News Media Reporters and Editorialists seemed to be obsessed with the danger of having Trump as President. Who would have thought so many in the news media were suffering from a mental illness? They had to come up with a justification for their irrational fear so they started by accusing him of being corrupt. Apparently making a lot of money is proof enough of corruption. If you are irrational someone who is in business can only become rich if he is dishonest. Maybe the robber barons of yesterday set the tone.
Next the news media focused on Trump’s indiscretions with women before he became President which was a concern for those of us who are not mentally ill as well. We would hope that all spouses would be faithful to one another. We suspect some of those that are pointing the finger of scorn at Trump have their own secrets. It is unfortunate that other Presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Bill Clinton have been indiscrete even while serving as President.
It is amazing to see how reporters and journalists are trying to destroy the credibility of one they irrationally fear. News media people seldom quote Trump without adding “without proof”. We might add they are saying this without proving they are telling the truth. Some Editorial Journalists are so obsessed with Donald Trump they cannot write an editorial without attacking him. Others have such an irrational fear of Trump they cannot carry on a conversation without complaining about Trump. When asking about specifics they cannot seem to come up with anything other than” he is corrupt.” Some rioters carry placards vowing to do whatever is necessary to remove Trump from office. These people are not only a danger to all law abiding citizens but are even a danger to themselves and need treatment now.
Trump phobia should be a concern for all of us because of the debilitating effect it is having on some people. Can you imagine living with an irrational fear? Can you imagine people unable to relax and enjoy life? Can you imagine not being able to plan your future because of irrational fears? If you know someone suffering from Trump phobia please encourage them to get counseling. There is no need to live in constant fear. Psychiatrists have a responsibility to help people who are suffering. Why have they been silent and not classified Trump phobia as a mental illness? How could they have not recognized this serious problem? Could it be that their inaction is self serving? Could it be that so many psychiatrists are suffering from Trump phobia that they are reluctant to classify it as a mental illness? We are counting on them to classify Trump phobia as a mental illness to make the public aware that help is available.
