Trump
Derangement
Syndrome.
Every day, somewhere in America, a very gullible person loses their mind over Donald Trump. We document it — with video, context, and commentary. No rage required. The clips speak for themselves.
He lives rent-free in their deranged heads. They paid the price with their sanity.
Kathy Griffin Says LAPD Officers Touched Her “Inappropriately” at an Arrest. Mayor Bass Said Nothing.
Comedian Kathy Griffin was arrested at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Los Angeles and later alleged on social media that LAPD officers touched her inappropriately during the arrest. Mayor Karen Bass (D), who controls the LAPD and was facing a primary challenge from Spencer Pratt, issued no statement. Griffin has not filed a formal complaint; LAPD denies the claim. An accountability gap at the top of LA government.
Paul Krugman Calls for a “deMAGAfication” Purge of Trump Supporters. The Nazi Comparison Was Explicit.
Former New York Times columnist Paul Krugman used his Substack to call for a post-Trump “deMAGAfication” — a direct analogue to post-WWII denazification — targeting not just Trump himself but his 74 million voters. He named media figures and Republican officeholders as participants in a “movement of evil.” The column was published, then walked back. The receipts remain.
NPR Mourned Pride Month Sponsors Fleeing. While Suing for Its Own Federal Funding.
On May 30, NPR ran a segment lamenting that corporations were abandoning Pride Month sponsorships under Trump-era pressure. NPR did not mention that it was simultaneously suing the federal government to restore its own $535M in federal funding — cut by executive order. The story covered the withdrawal of private donations to causes NPR supports, while NPR itself fights to reclaim public money it believes it is owed.
The Treasury Data Trump Critics Hoped Would Stay Buried. 96% of Filers Saw No Income-Tax Increase.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS Statistical Income data tell a story critics of the Trump tax framework struggled to rebut: 96% of filers earning under $200K saw no federal income-tax increase; average refunds hit $3,400+; filers earning under $50,000 owe $0 in additional income tax under the current framework. The Big Beautiful Bill would extend those numbers.
A Nurse Filmed Herself Wishing Trump Dead. Then the Secret Service Showed Up.
A viral self-recorded clip of a Michigan woman who has worked as a registered nurse, appearing to fantasize about taking a knife to President Trump, drew a Secret Service inquiry, an employer cooperation statement, and public calls for a license review. No charge filed — presumption of innocence applies. A TDS Watch story on the consequence axis.
From Embassy Flagpoles to Corporate Logos, Pride Month Looks Different This Year.
Two years into Trump 2.0, the rainbow grammar of the past decade is switched off in both government and the market. SecState Marco Rubio (R)’s “One Flag Policy” barred the Pride flag from embassy flagpoles; a Gravity Research survey found 39% of companies cut external Pride engagement in 2025 — up from 9% — most citing the administration.
Bruce Springsteen’s TDS Was the Real Headliner at His DC Show. The Music Was the Opening Act.
At Nationals Park on May 27, the 76-year-old opened by calling the country’s leadership a “reckless, racist, incompetent, treasonous president,” then spent ~6 minutes on the Trump administration before the music. A rerun of his 2025 Manchester “treasonous” speeches — which he sold as a live EP. Trump answered with a MAGA boycott call. The honest cost: the tour still sold $22.7M; the damage is reputational, not box-office.
Acosta and Couric Warn the Ellisons Are Building a “Propaganda Giant.” Critics Note the Lack of Self-Awareness.
On Katie Couric’s podcast, ex-CNN anchor Jim Acosta warned the Ellison family’s takeover of CBS and pending purchase of CNN’s parent is “the makings of a propaganda giant.” NewsBusters cataloged the irony — the $110B Warner Bros. Discovery deal, Bari Weiss at CBS News, and two anchors who built careers on softballs.
CBS Torched Stephen Colbert on His Way Out the Door — With Its Own Math.
Nine days after Colbert’s finale, CBS disclosed the show lost ~$40M a year and the cheaper replacement turns that into a “$55 million swing.” The network’s own ledger undercuts the year-long claim that Trump pressured Paramount into firing its loudest critic. The finale drew 6.7M; the replacement, ~1.1M.
The View Suggested NFL QB Jaxson Dart Should Be Targeted on the Field for Supporting Trump. ABC Has Said Nothing.
Behar: “Maybe he needs a little extra padding.” Haines: “There would be consequences.” Hostin: “You are complicit.” 0 ABC statements. 0 advertisers pulled.
Democratic Lawmaker Brands Trump an ‘Adjudicated Rapist’ on MSNBC — Corrected Live on Air for the 8th Time
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) called Trump an “adjudicated rapist.” Host Alex Witt corrected her instantly: “He was not accused of rape, per se — he was accused of sexual abuse.” Carroll II jury checked ‘NOT RAPE’ on the verdict form. ABC paid $15M in December 2024 for the same claim. Eighth documented on-air correction of identical error.
Anti-Trump Podcast Host Calls Katie Miller ‘Stupid C---’ — The Same Show That Hosted Obama, Harris, and Newsom
Angie “Pumps” Sullivan of the I've Had It! podcast (1.5M YouTube subscribers; 660M views in 2025; guests include Obama, Harris, AOC, Newsom, Jeffries, Booker, Warren) called Katie Miller a “stupid c---” on May 29. Co-host Jennifer Welch previously called Stephen Miller “a Nazi Jew.” Same week: DNC's Paulina Mangubat (D)posted “shut up you ugly f---” to Stephen Miller — 31 million views, kept her job. Zero advertiser pullbacks. Zero Democratic condemnations.
‘The Chicks’ Singer Natalie Maines Calls Trump ‘Fugly Slut’ in TDS Instagram Meltdown
May 18, 2026 — same day DOJ announces the $1.776B Anti-Weaponization Fund for Jan. 6 defendants. Maines reactivates her dormant Instagram to call Trump a “fugly slut.” White House spokesperson David Ingle: “despicable nobody… peanut-sized brain.” Maines counter: “This nobody American stands by her post.” The third escalation in a 23-year cycle. 2026 tour: theater venues (Fox Theatre, Beacon, Dolby) — not the 15,000-seat arenas of 2003.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) Posted About George Floyd Five Times on Memorial Day — Before Posting About Memorial Day
Mayor Jacob Frey (D-Minneapolis) posted 5 times about Floyd before any Memorial Day mention on May 25, 2026. First Memorial Day post arrived 1h 13min after Breitbart reporter contacted Frey’s office. Walz / Ellison / Klobuchar all silent.
Sacramento City Council Member Mai Vang Refused to Say the Pledge of Allegiance. The Council President Said That’s Fine.
Sacramento City Council member Mai Vang (D) declined to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at a May 2025 council meeting, citing personal conscience. Council President Lisa Kaplan (D)defended her right to abstain. The Sacramento Bee and local TV covered the story, which drew national social-media backlash. California’s flag-salute statute (Ed. Code §52720) applies to schools, not city councils — but the optics drew national attention as an example of Democratic elected officials declining traditional civic ceremonies.
Bernie Sanders Endorsed a Senate Candidate With a Nazi-SS Chest Tattoo. Then Dave Portnoy Detonated.
Graham Platner (D-Maine Senate, vs Sen. Susan Collins R) has a documented Nazi-SS Totenkopf chest tattoo (ADL Oct 2025 + CNN KFile Oct 24 2025) plus deleted Reddit posts mocking sexual-assault victims, a Purple Heart recipient, and a porta-potty masturbation confession. Campaign strategist Jeff Coote cold-emailed Dave Portnoy (Jewish, Barstool founder) May 23 asking him to amplify a Red Sox-ownership ad. Portnoy nuclear on X: ‘play footsy with a Nazi?’ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rallied for Platner in Orono SAME DAY May 24. Platner +7 (48-41) over Collins post-Mills-exit Newsweek poll. Also endorsed by Warren, Reich, Khanna, Gallego.
Six Months After Telling a Pittsburgh Rally Trump Was a ‘Protector of Women,’ Megyn Kelly Now Says He ‘Cheated on Every Wife.’
On the Hodgetwins Podcast May 22, 2026: Megyn Kelly says ‘Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had.’ Six months earlier — Nov 4, 2024 — Kelly rallied for Trump in Pittsburgh: ‘He will be a protector of women, that’s why I’m voting for him.’ Trump-Kelly break March 2026 over Iran; April 2026 Truth Social: ‘LOSER, LOW IQ’; lumped w/ Tucker, Candace, Alex Jones as ‘nut jobs.’ Same week Kelly predicts Trump loses House + Senate 2026. TDS hypocrisy showcase.
Drew Carey Calls LA Mayoral Challenger Spencer Pratt a ‘Serial Scammer’ — Same Week Pratt Outraised Karen Bass 10-to-1.
Drew Carey on Threads May 22: Spencer Pratt is a ‘serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.’ LA mayoral race fundraising Apr 19-May 16: Pratt $2.7M / Bass $282K (~10-to-1 gap). Emerson May 9-10: Bass 30 / Pratt 22 / Raman 19. Trump (R) endorsed Pratt May 21. Editorial frame: Carey attacks the CHALLENGER — not Mayor Karen Bass (D-LA), who was in Accra, Ghana when the Palisades fire ignited Jan 7 2025. Pratt’s line: LA has a drug problem, not a homeless problem (Sam Quinones, RCP May 14).
The Man Who Wrote the Book on Letterman v. Leno Discovered Press Freedom the Week Colbert’s Ratings Collapsed.
Bill Carter on MS NOW May 23 (day after Colbert’s May 21 finale) called the $40M-annual-loss-driven cancellation ‘alien to our values.’ Carter wrote The Late Shift (Letterman vs Leno) — 35-year late-night beat — and yet never wrote about Gutfeldoutdrawing every broadcast late-night host: Gutfeld 3.34M Q1 2026 vs Colbert 2.69M, 18-49 demo -19% YoY. $16M Paramount-Trump 60 Minutes settlement + Skydance merger context. (NOTE: $40M is the annual LOSS, not salary — salary was $15M.)
Jim Acosta Got Hit With Gutfeld’s Late Show Math, Posted Back, and Turned Replies Off.
Gutfeld + Clay Travis ran viral staff-photo math on Colbert’s Late Show: 200 employees, $40M/yr loss, 3 jokes a night. Acosta (independent Substack-er, formerly CNN; departed Jan 28 2025) posted: ‘You are celebrating the fact that all of these people are losing their jobs. All because your dear leader can’t take a joke. Seriously wtf is wrong with you’ — then disabled replies. Twitchy clocked it: ‘Replies Off, Of Course.’ Q1 2026 Nielsen Gutfeld! 3.3M / Late Show 2.69M. Late Show finale 6.74M viewers May 21. Trump May 22 Truth Social AI Colbert-dumpster post.
Natalie Maines Called Trump a ‘Fugly Slut’ on Instagram. The White House Called Her ‘A Despicable Nobody.’ The 2003 Boycott Was Different.
May 18 2026: The Chicks’ lead singer Natalie Maines posted a profanity-laden Instagram carousel attacking Trump and the DOJ’s new $1.776B ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ (created to compensate Trump allies incl. Jan 6 defendants, $1.776B = nod to 1776). Maines IG verbatim: ‘Our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes. This fugly slut is using your gas money to pay the insurrectionists.’ White House spokesperson Davis Ingle (not Press Sec. Leavitt): ‘Natalie Maines is a despicable nobody who clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her peanut-sized brain.’ Maines to USA Today: ‘This nobody American stands by her post.’ 2003 boycott crushed per-show US tour gross -39% and avg attendance -41%. 2026 The Chicks reunion tour ON the books — no cancellations.

CBS retires franchise; Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed replaces slot. Gutfeld! 3.3M Q1 vs Late Show 2.7M.
Bardem at Cannes: Trump, Putin, Netanyahu Are ‘Big Balls Men.’ Hollywood Gave Him a Bigger Deal.
Javier Bardem at a Cannes Film Festival press conference for The Beloved: “Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu, the big balls man saying, ‘My c*ck is bigger than yours, and I’m gonna bomb the shit out of you.’” Fourth act, not the first — Oscars “No to war, Free Palestine,” Emmys keffiyeh, 1,300+ industry boycott pledge. Same day, per AFP: Bardem says he has “more offers than ever.” Hollywood rewards the act. Important nuance — Bardem condemned Oct 7 as “a horrible crime committed by Hamas.”
The ‘Silo’ Heard ‘Round the World — AOC’s Alabama Malapropism, in Front of Bulletproof Glass.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at the Alabama State Capitol May 16, 2026 — ~5,000+ attending. Behind bulletproof glass. In a borrowed Southern accent. She meant “opening salvo” (military: first shot in a barrage). She said “opening silo”(grain storage). Twitchy’s “Rant Against Desegregation” headline is rhetorical wordplay; AOC said nothing literal about desegregation policy. Three misstatements in eight days: American Revolution about “the billionaires” (May 9), Tennessee wants to “wipe out every Black Representative” (the state’s only Democratic House member, Steve Cohen, is white), then the silo.
Student Scores Hit Historic Lows. The AFT Head Spent the Week Ranting About Trump.
NAEP Sept 9, 2025: 12th-grade math at 147 — lowest since the assessment began in 2005. 45% of 12th graders below NAEP Basic in math — highest percentage ever recorded. Randi Weingarten (D) — whose union lobbied CDC to keep schools closed — left X in January 2026 and spent the past week on Bluesky posting about Trump’s immigration policy, DACA, gerrymandering, voting rights. Not education. Stanford Hanushek/Strauss: $31 trillion in lost lifetime earnings from the closures she lobbied for.
The Democratic Party Is Dead. What Replaced It Has Been Tried Before — and It Ended With 17,000 Executions.
Victor Davis Hanson named it: the modern left isn’t the Democratic Party — it’s the Jacobins. The historical parallel holds on every dimension: moderate purge (Manchin, Sinema, Crowley), cancel culture show trials, $1–2B in 2020 riot damage, a congressman shot, a Supreme Court justice almost assassinated. Robespierre’s doctrine: “Silence is violence.” They just updated the slogan.
DOJ Found UCLA's Med School Admitting Students by Race. 28-Point MCAT Gap. Title VI Violation.

NJ-12 Democratic candidate Hamawytestified under oath in 1995 that Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman — the “Blind Sheikh” convicted of seditious conspiracy for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot and 11 other plots — “of course” always preached violence. In 2026, running for the open NJ-12 seat in the June 12 primary, Hamawy calls Abdel-Rahman a “leader of the community” and refuses to disavow him. Ilhan Omar has endorsed him.

On May 6, 2026, Mark Hamill posted to his verified Bluesky account an AI-generated image of Trump dead in a flower-surrounded grave under a stone reading “Donald J. Trump 1946-2024.” Caption: “If Only.” Five days after Cole Tomas Allen was charged with attempted assassination at the WHCD — the third documented attempt against Trump in less than two years. White House Rapid Response: “one sick individual.” Spokesman Davis Ingle tied the post to Hamill's Star Wars Day video with Obama (D). The full file: 2017 Joker-voice tweet readings; July 2024 ear-bandage joke (hours after Corey Comperatore was killed at Butler); Sept 2025 WTF Podcast “ashamed” quote; Feb 2026 $700 autograph backlash.
An Orthodox Jewish Student. A Rutgers Dorm. “Hitler Would Have Loved You.”
Three threads, one campus. Rivka Schafer (Orthodox, LGBTQ+) sued Rutgers in May 2024 alleging Demarest Hall was a “laboratory of antisemitism.” Eighteen days before leaving office, the Biden DOE Office for Civil Rights closed a 400-complaint investigation with a settlement requiring Rutgers to write a statement.

Katie Porter Said the Quiet Part Out Loud. Illegal Immigration is the Only Reason California is “Growing.”
On the CNN debate stage at East Los Angeles College, Katie Porter (D) was asked if she’d cooperate with federal deportations. She answered: “These are Californians. They contribute to our economy.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT): “If you think the best way to promote economic growth involves letting in illegal aliens, you’re doing it wrong.”
Patel: “The FBI Lied.” A Decade of Democrat Lawfare Against Donald Trump.
On Hannity’s podcast, FBI Director Kash Patel said it on the record: “the FBI essentially lied” in the FISA applications used to spy on the Trump 2016 campaign. The FISA court itself ruled two of four warrants not valid. The Clinton/DNC paid $1.02M for the dossier (FEC fines $113K). Mueller: no collusion. Two impeachments: acquitted. Mar-a-Lago, Bragg, James, Willis, Smith — every case dismissed, vacated, or disqualified the prosecutor. The ten-year record.
“Up Your Game, People.” A Cedars-Sinai Nurse Cheered the Trump Shooter. The Hospital Shrugged.
Matthew Shaffer, NP, replied “Up your game, people” to a tweet mocking Cole Tomas Allen, the WHCD shooter charged with attempted assassination of the President. UnitedHealthcare fired Alison King the same day for an “Aww, they missed?” TikTok. Ohio fired a daycare worker; Wisconsin pulled a teacher on leave. Cedars-Sinai’s response: “does not reflect our views.” No public discipline.
Nine Days After the WHCD Shooter, Another Armed Man at the White House. Secret Service Shot Him. A Child Was Hit.
May 4, ~3:30 PM ET: an armed suspect drew on plainclothes Secret Service near the Washington Monument; officers returned fire. Suspect alive at GW Hospital, in custody. A male juvenile was struck — by the SUSPECT’s gunfire, not Secret Service rounds. Trump unharmed inside an East Room small-business summit; VP Vance’s motorcade had transited the area moments before. The second armed close-approach to the President in nine days.
His Grad School Cited the “Patron Saint of Political Violence.” His Student Tried to Kill the President.
Cole Tomas Allen attended Cal State Dominguez Hills — whose president quoted Frantz Fanon (“violence is a cleansing force”) as his daily mantra — then tried to assassinate Trump at the WHCD. 40% of graduate degree holders now say violence is often necessary for social change. Yale’s faculty ratio: 36:1 Democrat-to-Republican. FIRE: 1-in-3 students accept violence to stop speech.
“Aww, They Missed?” UnitedHealthcare Fired Her the Same Day.
A UHC social media manager named Alison King posted “Aww, they missed?” after Trump survived the WHCD assassination attempt. UnitedHealthcare — whose CEO Brian Thompson was murdered 15 months earlier — fired her the same afternoon. UHC statement: “Violence is never acceptable.”King’s response to Newsweek: “I have no comment.”
14 Resolutions. 14 Defeats. Democrats Tried to Strip Trump’s Cuba War Powers. Again.
Kaine, Schiff, and Gallego filed a War Powers Resolution to block Trump’s Cuba maritime blockade. The Senate killed it 51–47 on April 28. John Fetterman voted against his own party. Republicans held the line. It was at least the fourteenth time Democrats tried this maneuver across Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba. The fourteenth time it failed.

Eight Minnesota DFL legislators introduced HF 5077: cut Local Government Aid by 10% to any city still flying the original 1893 state flag instead of the controversial 2024 “looks-like-Somalia” redesign. 10+ cities voted to restore the old flag. Republican Speaker Demuth: “Dead on arrival. Democrats are trying to take funding away from our police and fire.”
Christian Activists. A Public Park. Staff Tried to Shut Them Down.
Abolitionists Rising arrived at Scissortail Park — a $132 million Oklahoma City public park built with voter-approved tax dollars — to exercise their First Amendment rights. Park employees tried to stop them. The video got 839,705 views. The park admitted wrongdoing, disciplined staff, and ordered mandatory First Amendment retraining. The same park later let 1,000+ anti-Trump marchers proceed without a word.
She Was Reporting. They Attacked Her. A Family of Three Is Now Federally Charged.
TPUSA journalist Savanah Hernandez was beaten at a Minneapolis anti-ICE protest on April 11, 2026 — because protesters identified her as conservative. Concussion. Two sprains. Broken glasses. Federal grand jury indicted the Ostroushko family on April 29. Acting AG Todd Blanche: “unhinged act of political violence.” Gov. Walz (D) and Mayor Frey (D) — both under DOJ subpoena — said nothing.
56%. Then 67%. The Left and Killing Trump.
NCRI/Rutgers: 56% of left-of-center Americans said killing Trump was “at least somewhat justified” (April 2025). By January 2026: 67%— up 11 points in nine months. RMG Research: 28% of Democrats said America would be better off if Trump had been killed. Seven polls, four organizations, and an interactive chart showing exactly where the partisan gap is — and where it isn’t.
Jimmy Kimmel. Twenty Years of Escalating Rhetoric. Now the FCC Is Watching.
“Expectant widow.” Two days later: WHCD assassination attempt. Eight ABC broadcast licenses under FCC review. Melania: “His words are corrosive. He hides behind ABC.”Trump: “Immediately fired.” Plus: blackface history, Charlie Kirk suspension, plumber mockery, 72% demo collapse, and the Johnny Carson contrast — same hotel, 45 years apart.
Alison King
UnitedHealthcare social media manager, Minneapolis. Posted a TikTok saying “Aww, they missed? So happy they missed.” after the WHCA Dinner shooting. Fired same day. Their CEO Brian Thompson was murdered 15 months earlier. She deleted her LinkedIn. No comment.

Obama claimed the motive was “unknown.” Plus the “staged” conspiracy crowd. The documented record.
Nithya Raman
LA City Councilmember (D/DSA) running for mayor. Told Sherman Oaks parents: “I don’t think a kid’s gonna be safer if they are 10 feet or 500 feet away from a school.” Room booed. She shrugged, rolled her eyes, put down the mic. Voted against the 500-foot school buffer three times.
Robert De Niro
Eight insults in 90 seconds (2016). “Fuck Trump” twice on live CBS — standing ovation (2018). Hitler and Mussolini comparisons outside the criminal courthouse, organized by the Biden-Harris campaign (2024). Trump won twice. New York swung 13 points toward Trump.
Madonna
The day after Trump’s inauguration, Madonna told 470,000 people at the Women’s March: “I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”The Secret Service opened a review. Two days later she said it was “out of context.” The quote is on tape.
Big Sean
One month after Trump’s inauguration, Big Sean released a track with lyrics describing killing Trump with an icepick — in graphic detail. The song charted. Trump is still alive. Big Sean has not apologized.
Julius Caesar, NYC
The Public Theater staged Julius Caesar with the title character played as a blond man in a red tie. He is stabbed to death on stage nightly at the Delacorte Theater. Bank of America and Delta pulled their sponsorships. The Public Theater called it art.
Kathy Griffin
Griffin posed for Tyler Shields photos holding a bloody, mock-severed Trump head. The images went global within hours. CNN fired her the same day. The Secret Service opened an investigation. Barron Trump, 11 years old, reportedly saw the images on television.
Joe Biden
At a 2018 rally Biden said he’d take Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.” Biden then spent four years in the White House. In 2024, his own party forced him off the ticket rather than let him debate Trump. He never made it to the gym.
Marilyn Manson
On Election Day 2016, while votes were being counted, Manson released the SAY10 teaser: a blond man in a dark suit and red tie, decapitated on camera. Manson held the knife. Directed by Tyler Shields — the same photographer who six months later shot Kathy Griffin holding a severed Trump head.Manson’s defense: “Could have been a preacher.”
Larry Wilmore
Sixteen days after Justice Scalia died, Comedy Central host Larry Wilmore asked for “the pillow they used to kill Scalia” so he could use it on Trump — then mimed it on camera.

Sarah Silverman
A Jewish comedian wore an SS uniform on Conan, quoted Anne Frank on election night, called for a military coup, saw swastikas in a sidewalk utility marking, and called Trump “America’s shitty boyfriend” on Hulu. He then moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and addressed the Israeli Knesset.
Judd Apatow
“Awful family.” Then “rape analogy.” Then “Trump is a Nazi.” Then “he is death.” Then a Hitler comparison at the DGA Awards. Then “God will judge you.” Then “we’re a dictatorship now” at the Golden Globes. Meanwhile, The Bubble got a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Patton Oswalt
Election night 2016: “I am shitting things I didn’t eat into pants I’m not wearing.” That was the calm take. Nine years of “racist scrotum,” “18-wheeler of monkeys on PCP,” calling 62.9M voters “stupid assholes,” a Chappelle apology, a flopped Netflix special, and Bill Maher telling him he was the problem.
They’re training to be lawyers. They called the lawyer a Nazi.
150+ protesters called DHS General Counsel James Percival a fascist and a Nazi at a UCLA Law Federalist Society event. The Trump administration he works for moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, brokered the Abraham Accords, and signed an executive order protecting Jewish students. The students are studying for the bar exam.
Chris Evans
On election night 2016, the man playing Captain America tweeted it was “an embarrassing night for America” and that voters had “let a hatemonger lead our great nation.” Eight years of rage tweets followed. Then a White House visit with Joe Biden for Dark Brandon sunglasses. Then Trump won again. 14 sources. Every quote verified.
Cher
Tweeted “IF HE WERE TO BE ELECTED,IM MOVING TO JUPITER” the day Trump announced in 2015. Trump won. She stayed. In 2023: “This time I will leave.” Trump won again. She stayed again — citing her boyfriend’s custody arrangement. Two cycles. Zero relocations. 14 sources. Every quote verified.
George Lopez
Promised in 2016 that if Trump won, "we'll all go back to Mexico." Trump won. Lopez stayed in Los Angeles. Then after the 2024 election he posted a cartoon image of a decapitated Trump-like figure covered in blood — then deleted it. Eight years later, still in LA. Every quote verified.

Chelsea Handler
Bought a house in Spain before the 2016 election and vowed she would actually leave — unlike the others. Trump won. She cried on Netflix, called for a military coup, told 50 Cent he’s too Black to vote Republican, and went to therapy. Her Netflix show was cancelled in 2 seasons.
