The problem is serious – and it’s getting worse because of writers like

Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post!

Here are excerpts from a recent article Eugene Robinson wrote with commentary.

How long are we going to pretend that President Trump is fully rational? How long are we going to ignore the signs that he is dangerously out of control?

Two questions that set the tone for the rest of the article that has no connection to reality.

Trump’s supporters comfort themselves with the idea that he’s being crazy like a fox – that all the outrageous lies, abrupt reversals, bizarre pronouncements and vicious personal attacks are calculated to achieve some rational goal. He’s just playing to his base, perhaps, or distracting everyone from unpopular legislation cutting taxes for the rich, or trying to deceive other world leaders into thinking he might be unhinged and therefore should be accommodated.

Change out the name “Trump” with any number of liberal Democrats and the rest of the paragraph would remain the same with one exception. That would be he is wrong about Trump.

But what evidence is there of calculation? Congress may indeed pass a slapped-together tax bill, but there is no indication Trump even knows what’s in it. That would be his first and only significant legislative accomplishment. His approval rating plummeted after the inauguration and has been stuck at 40 percent or below since June, according to Gallup. He has managed to alienate our closest allies – even drawing a rare rebuke this week from British Prime Minister Theresa May.

Here, Robinson asks the right question, while going on to provide answers that are opinion at best and lying at its worst.

The logical thing to do, at this point, would be to come up with a new strategy. But Trump stays his wild and erratic course, as if he simply cannot help himself. The most alarming development is the revelation that Trump continues to entertain paranoid conspiracy theories of the kind usually found beneath tinfoil hats. According to both The Washington Post and The New York Times, Trump still clings to the ridiculous “birther” theories about where former President Barack Obama was born. More delusional ranting. Robinson combines some known facts with wild statements in hopes the reader will believe. The public record is contrary to what he says.

You will recall that Obama’s birth in Hawaii has been definitively proved.

 Obama’s “Photo Shopped” birth certificate did not prove anything other than there are people willing to go to any length to protect Obama.

It would be one thing if Trump were broadcasting this nonsense for a reason. I’d feel better even if he had a nefarious reason – to appeal to racists who cannot accept the legitimacy of the first black president, say, or to encourage his base to doubt everything they see and hear in the media and instead to trust only him.

Robinson goes way out on a limb and brings back into the conversation Obama and his legacy. Further, people don’t disregard the media because Trump told them. The media has created this conundrum all on their own. They have demonstrated publicly they are in the liberal progressive bag!

It is one thing to create a fantasyland for political ends – appealing to some voting group’s prejudices or giving supporters a reason to excuse bad behavior. It is another thing altogether, however, for Trump to fall into his own rabbit hole and actually believe what he once knew to be untrue. Maybe he is worried about the steamrolling Robert Mueller investigation. Or maybe his mental state is just deteriorating.

Only a delusional liberal like Robinson can go on about the mental state of Trump and writing as though the uprising against progressivism in this country is passing phenomenon. That as well as ignoring the bizarre behavior demonstrated daily by his fellow liberal Democrats in Congress: Maxine Waters, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. And, let’s not forget Hillary and Obama!
