Here at the Gateway Pundit, we recently highlighted a story about the New York City psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, who says that Trump Derangement Syndrome is completely real.
Alpert described the condition, saying:
People are obsessed with Trump. They’re fixated — they’re hyper-fixated on Trump. And they talk about some of the features of this disorder: they can’t sleep, they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump, they feel restless. I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because any time she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered. So this is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.
Now, for exposing this, Alpert is supposedly getting death threats. Doesn’t that just kind of confirm that what he said is accurate?
FOX News reports:
Therapist says he received threats after calling ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ real ‘pathology’
A Manhattan-based psychotherapist claims he has received dozens of hate messages, including death threats, since speaking publicly about seeing patients in his practice he describes as experiencing “Trump derangement syndrome.”
Jonathan Alpert, author of the forthcoming book “Therapy Nation,” said he faced backlash after appearing on Fox News last week to discuss his Nov. 12 Wall Street Journal op-ed about “patients across the political spectrum” who bring up President Donald Trump in therapy sessions “not to discuss policy but to process obsession, rage and dread.”
Alpert shared with Fox News Digital several messages he said he received via text and email over the past week.
“Eat s— and die you racist fascist piece of s—… f—ing uneducated MAGA scumbag,” one message read…
“It’s been intense,” Alpert reacted to the messages, in an interview with Fox News Digital. “I expected disagreement, but I didn’t expect the level of hostility, especially from people in the mental health field.”
The people who are threatening him don’t seem to realize that they are proving his point for him.

Trump broke the minds of these people. They hate him yet they can’t live without him. He occupies their thoughts, every waking moment.
