Trump the Witch
National Review ^ | May 9, 2017 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 05/09/2017 8:06:15 AM PDT by EveningStar

It’s magic: What can’t his nefarious powers not do?

As a Nazi, President Trump has proved lackluster. The brownshirts and concentration camps that Hollywood types warned us to expect haven’t materialized. As an authoritarian, too, Trump is falling short of expectations: When judges defy his executive orders, he doesn’t send in the goon squads. He simply sends out a couple of tweets.

Liberals these days, especially showbiz types, are subtly altering the way they frame Trump. They can’t plausibly identify anything he’s actually done as an outrage to the Republic. So they’re internalizing the supposed Trump threat, claiming injury to their psyches, their souls, their selves. Insidiously, the harm Trump does comes disguised as harm they are doing to themselves. He won’t play along with their fantasy that he’s Hitler, so they’re devising an alternate fantasy where he’s more of a . . . witch.

Just as the Salem witches were blamed for the convulsions, mysterious ailments, and inscrutable gabble of a group of girls, the 31-year-old swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen, a proud left-wing Resistresse, complains that Trump is to blame for her anxiety and teeth grinding. She demands that the president compensate her by paying for her Botox injections.

This article makes complete sense of the mass hysteria demonstrated by high profile citizens that make a living being fakers, etc.

I believe the author may have summarized the article correctly.....

snip
Nearly 300 years after the mass hysteria in Massachusetts, historians theorized that there was an underlying cause to the Salem insanity: Ergot, a fungus associated with rye, could have caused hallucinations similar to those brought on by LSD, which is derived from ergot. Perhaps in 300 years, we’ll get a similarly sensible explanation for Hollywood’s Trump-induced hysteria. Is someone dropping acid in the ice-cube maker at the Ivy? Perhaps. But it seems more likely that celebrities are naturally bonkers. If so, it might be unwise to give much credence to their political commentary.
