What better harbinger for a bright new year than the discovery of a cure for a pandemic-size disease, TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The antidote wasn’t developed by a pharmaceutical company. It doesn’t require an injection or a high cost. It has been around for thousands of years and your parents probably taught common sense to you at a young age.
“Don’t touch a hot stove.”
“Don’t go anywhere with a stranger.”
“Look both ways when you cross the street.”
So, for my liberal friends who suffer daily bouts of TDS, the next time you get the urge to criticize President Donald Trump, his policies, or members of his administration, stop and ask yourself, “What does common sense tell me?”
We all have the ability to use the wisdom of our parents.
For example, the next time you have the urge to say, “Trump wants to be a king or a dictator,” ask yourself the antidote question. The common-sense answer will be staring you in the face.
“He didn’t become a king or dictator in his first term in office. Why would he do it now? He is doing his best to make America great again, just like he promised in his campaign for president.”
Feel better?
I thought so.
I could fill the entire Signal with other examples of hateful rhetoric that TDS has caused you to utter. At times it consumes you.
No more. I have given you the cure: common sense. 2026 is the time for you to start using it. Your parents would be proud.
