(ThyBlackMan.com) “It’s sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it,” President Donald Trump said, in explaining the hostility that overcomes veterans of his administration. Are they crazed because of what they’ve seen or what they’ve done? Or were they always crazed, which is why they were there in the first place? In Elon Musk’s case, it is clearly all of the above.
