Striking changes in the natural history of the Syndromes. As in writing, "if Trump is reelected".

We sometimes see bloggers vapidly copying often biased fake news reports on one topic or another, distinguished only in their one track attacking of our Brilliant and Dazzling, promise keeping, Ivy League graduate, President Trump. In the ensuing back and forth of postings, these syndrome victims then display only marginal education on most related topics, having to do with their initial copied blog text or videos, and always with a striking inability to appreciate other sides of the argument. Often these writings involve scientific, medical and even psychiatric themes.

Although roundly accepted as the hairdressers of medicine, psychiatrists have made a valid clinical observation now and again. One of the most robust relates to the strength of the fixed beliefs, and behaviors, in the delusional syndromes. These victims have traditionally focused on delusions having strong popular exposure in various media. Examples, often humorous, are from radiation, space visitors, and such. These folks are almost always fun to listen to, initially at least, and almost never dangerous. In one subtype, however, delusions of jealousy, usually of a spouse's imagined extramarrital adventures, violence has occured.

In the Trump Derangement-Hilary Deficit Syndromes, which often rise clinically to delusional diatheses, these trends are strong indeed. So when we see even a slight change in their presentations, it is noteworthy.

We now see statements from such sad cases as---"if Trump is reelected". It's hard to over emphasize how different this is from their usual take on the political world, and accordingly, at variance with the evolution of validly diagnosed delusional syndromes. We at the Vierk Institute are intrigued, and are on it. Typically, those who suffer from delusional syndromes will only relax their fixed beliefs with the use of powerful antipsychotic agents, and even then, only partly so. Talk therapies won't touch it at all. Is there a Nobel Prize somewhere in this astute clinical finding? Stay tuned.

Nobel prize? Well Al Gore and Bob Dylan both have one, so why not You? Or Trump? Ali Khamenei,Kim JongUn, Dutarte, Belsonaro, Erdogan - surely all worthy of something. How about the emeritus prize for belittling and carping? You qualify for such a one, and I might offer to dub you thus.
*Duterte
Yes, a title awarded by delusion no doubt, when a fellow nurse said hows your neuritis!rolling on the floor laughing
I've met many people who overestimate themselves in my time Vier but they pale in comparison to you.
Thanks, SL. Such sweet compliments come all the time, but the more the merrier.
Much there is spot on, D. Thanks.
Enjoy your cake V!laugh Low calorie I hope.
Love it. Falling right into a trap that has borne brushing away results more than once. Falling on their own sword. Hanging on their own petard. Giving just enough rope to tie their own noose. Don't change and please do not stop.
The fourcheesy potshotter fires damp squibs and congratulates itself effusively, and claims with relish to have the scalps of bloggers past ... Did Doris Lessing really coin the phrase 'Small things amuse small minds'? Haven't found a source or reference yet. Well then, let me quote from Augustus De Morgan:

Siphonaptera: from a budget of paradoxes, 1872
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on
