Do You Know Someone Suffering From Trump Unacceptance & Resistance Disorder (TURD)?
TURD is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time.
Sufferers of TURD often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, rioting and uncontrollable crying.
People with TURD are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again.
TURD Is caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.
Research is ongoing, but TURD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:
Membership in the Democratic Party
Identifying as a feminist
Currently enrolled in college, and/or possession of a Liberal Arts college degree
Living in a densely populated metropolitan area
Massive student debt rather than working to offset all or some
Spotty or non-existent work history
Patients with TURD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.
If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TURD, urge them to seek treatment.
Together we can beat this scourge.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has been restated

PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO NEGOTIATE
It is tragic that people do not comprehend the art of
negotiation. We have people who scream yell and march in the street and think
they are making a difference, they aren't. Nothing gets done unless people
work it out, negotiate.
To school those who are puzzled by what Trump does as he moves thru international negotiations, to say he is artful is understatement, but to people ignorant of such strategies think Trump should have yelled at Putin, beat him with a baseball bat, threatened invasion or called him a nasty name. Puddi Putt or some such. He didn’t and that’s a good thing. Every President since Clinton has striven to get along well with Putin. Some did, some fumbled the ball. That would be just plain stupid to abuse or insult him on a platform before an international audience. If you destroy the relationship, you cannot negotiate. Even if it is painful, you have to know how far to go and no further. You have to be in a position that continued conversation is possible. Once the discussion is cut off, no negotiation can take place. There negotiation methods that people who have never been in business will not comprehend. Our current crop of “journalists, politicians and liberals” is lost. They believe confrontation works. It doesn’t. 1. Push hard for your position. State what you want. Start high and be prepared to give some up. Make friends, be as collegial as you can, but stay steady. He did with Chairman Kim. And with Merkel and with May. Go in strong. High profile. Say things like, we must have this or that to continue. Make it hard but with a smile. Say how much you hope everyone can get along. 2. Do your hardest negotiation in private. Never allow them to see how far back you might come from your position. Push hard for your position but stay friends. Push for all you can get, but sometimes half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. 3. Build on a positive relationship. People do business with, buy from, and negotiate with people they like. Like them first. The Bible says, "If you would have a friend be a friend". Proverbs 18:24 (Gene Bible Translation, look it up) 4. You will catch far more flies with Honey then you will with vinegar. If you are bitter and mean spirited you will not be successful in negotiation. See former administration for example. He only knew how to demand or give in. That’s not negotiation. 5. Brag about the other person, talk about what a good person they are. Build them up. Give him a fine reputation to live up to. He or she will make every effort to live up to that reputation rather than see you disillusioned. This is the most powerful way to influence the conduct of a person without arousing resentment or giving offense. Even a person in Jail for a heinous crime thinks in his or her heart that they are basically a good person. 6. Hold promise for the future and then ask for action. This is a critical phase. You don't get people to move if you try to bully them, only when you hold out a promise. The video of Hotels in North Korea on the beaches for Chairman Kim were hokey, but helped. 7. Use the takeaway if you aren't getting anywhere. Start to walk away. Say something like, I guess we aren't going to be able to make a deal. Trump did this beautifully with Kim. It will restart the negotiation. It did. 8. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Talk in terms of their interests and not yours. Paint a word picture of how wonderful it will be when he makes a deal with you. If you can frame what they want inside what you want you will win. 9. Honest sincere appreciation complementing personality will win the day every time. Be lavish in your praise and hearty in your approbation. If you do it right, people will respond. Don't be a fake. Even the ugliest cat has pretty eyes. Find something to praise. 10. Use the other person's name frequently. If it is a title, use that. Remember that a person's name is to him or her the sweetest most important sound in any language. Note how Trump does this all the time, even with reporters. He has a mastery level name remembering. Thoughtfulness is his trademark. 11. The best way to win an argument or negotiation is to avoid causing the other side to take a position they don't want to take. Don’t put them in a situation where they have to lose. Sometimes avoiding the issue is best. Trump did that with Putin. Of course to liberals they claim its weakness. It’s not, you can come back to negotiated at a later date. You don’t lose an argument you didn’t engage in. 12. Let the other side win some small victories. Let them save face. Work on the big deals. If you humiliate him or her you will create a situation where no one wins. Small victories count too. Politicians in these days have no idea of how to do these things. It's beyond them. The current crop in Washington has none of these skills. The mainstream liberal media is beyond comprehending these basic truths. We are in big trouble. Everyone points to tip O’Neil and Pres Reagan. They both knew these rules and used them.
When I worked in Japan I was
involved in negotiations. I asked one
of my counterparts what happens if we DIDN’T come to agreement. He smiled and said, we negotiate until we
come to an agreement. You never enter
in to a negotiation where you walk away with nothing. Even Reagan years ago knew how to do the takeaway. He said to Gobachov, “You don’t want a deal
do you”. Gorby could not let that
stand and came to the table in 8 months and the deal was done.
I wish there were training for
those who are in government. When you
get an amateur like Obama.. they get nothing. Every deal he made was terrible
Thank God for President Trump.
