Candace Owens — Trump Derangement Syndrome: An American Epidemic

Trump derangement syndrome. What is it? Do I have it? Is there a cure? My name is Candace Owens. You are watching my new blog series, The Declaration. Let's do a symptom check. Did you have a relatively nice, uneventful childhood and then arrive into 2017 realizing that almost every person that you grew up with is actually a racist, homophobic transphobic, psychopathic, sexist, chauvinistic, literally Hitler, xenophobic killer?

Including, but not limited to members of your very own immediate family? Are you certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's only a matter of time until Trump gets arrested and thrown into a cell with Vladimir Putin, and Hillary Clinton will be restored as the rightful president of the United States. Have you recently liked a tweet from Chelsea Handler? Or did you stand up and clap at your television when Joy Behar delivered the very fake news that Trump was caught colluding with Russia?

Michael Flynn promised full cooperation to the Mueller team. And is prepared to testify that, as a candidate, Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians. Yes! Does this? Looks like a symbol of hate. Am I offending you? Is this offensive? Does the media seem balanced to you? Is there a doomsday plan? Am I right to ask about a doomsday plan? Deeper concerns tonight that the world's shining light of democracy has gone dark?

Feels like the end of the world. It feels like we're trying to avoid the apocalypse. Do you see this as a doomsday scenario? It's a different Earth today than it was to America is crying tonight. I mean, literally crying. Everybody is crying. I'm uncomfortable. Trump derangement syndrome is a condition that severely impacts the auditory and visionary receptors of those inflicted. This means that all aspects of what an individual hears or sees is magically transformed into hate.

For example, I might say, I like Donald Trump, but a person suffering from TDS years. I hate all minorities, similarly, a healthy person's brain sees this image as Melania Trump arriving to aid those impacted by Hurricane Harvey, but a person suffering from TDS, they see her heels and experience genuine outrage. Unfortunately, the only known cure is reality. Here's the thing. The likelihood that every single person that you grew up with secretly pledged allegiance to the KKK is, I don't know, pretty unlikely.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that they're exactly the same people that you thought they were when you were growing up. It's going to sound crazy, but they might just have different opinions. You see, some people care about the economic state of this country. Those people are more inclined to like Donald Trump and his agenda. Other people care deeply about safe spaces and generalist bathrooms, and I'd be willing to bet that those people are not walking around wearing a MAGA hat.

Fact, Donald Trump won the presidency in the same way that Obama won it before him. The American people voted. This is referred to as a democracy. I want you to know that no matter how many times Joy Behar jumps out of her chair and does the funky chicken dance, Russian collusion is an illusion. Seriously, guys, it's been a year and not a single shred of evidence has been produced tying Donald Trump to Russia. Come back to the side of reality.

We miss you guys. Grown adults crying every night on TV is not a sign of an unbiased media. It's actually the rest of the world being made privy to what should exist exclusively between a therapist and his patient. Remember this guy? He is not the enemy. This is an expression of patriotism, not racism, not xenophobia, not literally Hitler, America. The United States of America as a country that each and every one of us should be proud to live in.

If you perceive that as a message of hate and not a call for unity, then Godspeed, because it's going to be a long 8 years. Thank you guys so much for watching.
