All this week, NewsBusters is recounting the most obnoxious liberal bias of 2017. Monday, we presented some of the most outrageous examples of journalists fawning over liberal or left-wing icons, and yesterday we showcased some of this year’s nastiest attacks on Republicans or conservatives.
Today, it’s a look at all of the over-the-top attacks on President Donald Trump, who was called a “crazy” “basket case” of a “sociopath” by the likes of CNN’s Don Lemon and the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin.
Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were terrified that “madman” Trump’s tweets were going to get us into a “nuclear showdown.” ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar wanted him “impeached” before he got us all nuked.
Trump was also labeled “anti-Semitic” by ABC’s Terry Moran and called America’s “first neo-Nazi president” by The New Republic editor Bob Moser. And the press was still fuming over Trump’s charges of “fake news” as CNN’s Brian Stelter and Carl Bernstein compared his administration to dictatorships around the world.

[LANGUAGE WARNING]
Deranged, Unstable CNN Loses Its Mind Post-Trump Rally, Led by This Don Lemon Rant
“He’s unhinged, it’s embarrassing and I don’t mean for us, the media because he went after us, but for the country. This is who we elected President of the United States....There was no gravitas. There was no sanity....If you watch that speech as an American, you had to be thinking what in the world is going on? This is the person we elected as President of the United States? This petty, this small, a person who who’s supposed to pull the country together?”
— Host Don Lemon reacting to Trump speech in Arizona, on CNN Tonight, August 22.
“[Republican] members publicly, privately are acknowledging that guy is a basket case, that he cannot serve, he cannot lead the party. My regret is they’ve all been so cowardly for so long and did nothing to stop him and it took this long to whisper on background that he was unfit. Where were the folks seven months ago, ten months ago, two years ago?”
— Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin on MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, August 22.
MSNBC's Reagan: 'National Security Risk' Trump Guilty of 'Treasonable' Offenses
“I think people are finally starting to come to grips – as we must come to grips – with the notion that we have a dangerous individual in the Oval Office who is a national security threat, and he needs to be removed from office....He’s unfit, and he needs to be removed.”
— MSNBC political analyst Ron Reagan Jr. on MSNBC’s Hardball, May 22.
“We haven’t had a president this psychologically troubled – I’m trying to use my language real carefully. We haven’t had a president this psychologically troubled in this way since at least Richard Nixon.”
— Disgraced former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather on MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, June 1.
“This piece of shit is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He’s an embarrassment to humankind.”
— June 3 tweet by former CNN host Reza Aslan about Donald Trump’s post-London attack tweet.
Ron Reagan: Trump Was ‘Vomited’ Up by Electoral College, Is ‘Sociopathic, Malignant Narcissist’
“Donald Trump is a deeply damaged human being. He is a sociopathic, malignant narcissist, and he happens to be the – you know, the electoral system, not the American people, but the Electoral College has sort of vomited this thing up and it landed in the Oval Office and it needs to be removed. It’s a stain. It’s a big glob on the carpet there. It needs to be removed and that means impeachment or the 25th Amendment. This man is a danger to the world.”
— Former MSNBC host Ron Reagan Jr. on MSNBC’s Hardball, October 25.

Otherwise, their coordinated rage and nonsensical outbursts are impossible to explain.
And yet Donald Trump has had a successful first year and has a year-end approval of 46%, matching Obama's first year popularity.
And he is still poking these amateur psychologists and psychiatrist media types in their eyes and "nyuk, nyuk, nyuking" (loosely quoting Curly of the 3 Stooges) it all the way to his re-election.
The simple fact is that Trump is different than all previous presidents in his language, his conduct, his behavior and his abilities. Now that he's had a year to find his sea legs and get many things accomplished, I believe he will go on to become more popular with the voters.
But count out the democRATS, liberal media and still many GOP RINOs to make this transition. They will always hate him because he is not one of them.
