While this term started out as a joke, its slowly become real and its hilarious.
Elon Musk recently shared his surprise at witnessing what he described as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” firsthand, an experience that opened his eyes to the intense anti-Trump sentiment that has gripped a portion of the American public. During a dinner gathering just a couple of months before the 2024 election, Musk mentioned President Trump’s name, triggering an explosive reaction from his friends. He compared their response to being “shot with a dart in the jugular that contained like methamphetamine and rabies.” This over-the-top reaction left Musk stunned and prompted him to question why such individuals couldn’t engage in a normal conversation without losing their composure.
In an exclusive interview with President Donald Trump on “Hannity” on February 18, Musk discussed how the anti-Trump rhetoric had escalated to a point of irrationality, saying, “It’s like they’ve become completely irrational.” This insight reflects a deeper concern about how divisive the political climate has become, especially among those who seem unwilling to engage in civil discourse.
Musk’s conversation with Trump took place in the White House and covered a broad range of topics, including the work of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a key initiative that Trump launched to tackle the inefficiencies of the federal government. The two leaders discussed plans to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse, focusing on high-profile departments like the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education.
Trump also mentioned that he has instructed Musk to investigate the Pentagon, which has failed to pass an audit in years, highlighting the administration’s commitment to rooting out inefficiency and waste at all levels of government. This discussion underscores a commitment to reforming Washington, something the Trump administration has been vocal about since its early days.
