To the catalogue of anxieties her patients explore during therapy — marriage, children, and careers — psychologist Alison Howard is now listening to a new source of stress: the political rise of Donald Trump.
In recent days, at least two patients have invoked the Republican front-runner, including one who talked at length about being disturbed that Trump can be so divisive and popular at the same time, said Howard, who practices in the District.
What had happened to Trump during his childhood, the patient wanted to know, to make him such a “bad person?”
“He has stirred people up,” Howard said. “We’ve been told our whole lives not to say bad things about people, to not be bullies, to not ostracize people based on their skin color. We have these social mores and he breaks all of them and he’s successful. And people are wondering how he gets away with it.”
Hand-wringing over Trump’s rapid climb, once confined to Washington’s political establishment, is now palpable among everyday Americans who are growing ever more anxious over the prospect of the billionaire reaching the White House.

Sounds like people need a safe place from micro aggressions.
This comes from the same kind of people who can’t hear a different opinion on campus with talking about micro aggression and needing safe spaces. Is America that emasculated?

We’ve been bi****** about the issues he’s been talking about for years...and using some of the same language, and NOW we need therapy??
This has nothing to do with Trump himself, it has everything to do with the media hyperbole surrounding him. If you know someone like this just tell them to turn off the news and stop looking at Facebook for a while.
So Trump Anxiety is a bona fide mental disorder?
