Hugh Hewitt: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is Now Toxic

Hugh Hewitt: "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is Now Toxic

Author: Salem Podcast Network March 9, 2026 Duration: 1:00

It’s difficult to escape the conclusion that many Americans hate President Trump so much they’d rather see the butcher Khamenei alive, the Iranian people under his boot and mullahs with a nuclear weapon than see Trump triumph.

This level of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” well, it’s toxic.

Had Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio beaten Clinton and done these same things, Reagan and Bush-era politicos would have cheered. Today’s most adamant Trump haters would have been leading the ovation.

When Obama ordered the mission to kill bin Laden, I don’t recall his critics refusing to credit him. They loved America more than they disliked “44.”

And old guard Republicans who battled FDR throughout the ’30s quickly rallied to his side when Pearl Harbor happened. Country comes or should come before politics.

Perhaps someone will break free of the anti-Trump cult and show the way out.

We are waiting for that first turning from the “TDS” crowd. We may wait a long time.
