The reaction to the unprecedented indictment of President Trump predictably ranged from unhinged to blatant jubilation.
The following
are a few examples

Were
these washed-up showbiz stars demonstrating their commitment to the cause in hope
of extending their faltering careers?
This
certainly applies to the likes of Jimmy Kimmel whose lame 'comedy' show was lagging
in the ratings. He probably would have been booted off the air. But once he adopted
an anti-Trump he became an essential cog in the Democrat propaganda machine, which ensures that his show prevails for the 'greater good'.
For
the others too, perhaps the hope is that their top bosses will not their
anti-Trump posts and deem them worthy of further employment.
Are
their lives so miserable that the pain of others causes them a feeling of schadenfreude?
Most
certainly.
People
with successful careers and fulfilled lives do not revel in the misfortune of others. Even if they do, they make a point not to express it in public.
Are
these individuals suffering from Trump
Derangement Syndrome?
Let’s
take Alec Baldwin, one of the rabid anti-Trump voices around as an example.
What
has Baldwin’s record been before Trump entered politics?
Back
in October
1995, Baldwin allegedly assaulted a photographer who was shooting a video
of his ex-wife Kim Basinger with their three-day-old daughter as they returned
home from the hospital
Back
in 2007, Baldwin left an unhinged voice message for his 11-year-old daughter
calling her a "thoughtless, little pig". Even if Baldwin claims
he was frustrated with his divorce case or was attempting to inculcate a sense
of discipline in his young daughter, there is no excuse for the violent
tone and the pejorative attacks against a young child.
In
2011, Baldwin was thrown off a flight after he refused to stop playing a game
on his smartphone while waiting for take-off. Passengers are asked to turn off
their smartphones because the mobile device transmissions interfere with the
aircraft's navigational equipment. Baldwin should have known this and should have
complied for the safety of others. But he didn’t care. He allegedly verbally attacked the flight attendant who was merely
doing her job by reminding Baldwin of the rules.
In
2013, police were called after Baldwin was involved in an altercation with a
photographer in New York City. His late-night talk show was canceled
following homophobic comments he made during the confrontation.
The
same year Baldwin was accused of using
racial slurs against another photographer.
In 2019,
Baldwin pleaded guilty to a harassment dispute over a parking space.
In
October 2021, Baldwin fatally shot the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and
injured director Joel Souza on the set of his film “Rust”.
Months later during a TV interview on ABC, Baldwin claimed that some unknown forces were responsible for Hutchins’s death, he claimed he didn’t pull the trigger.
Hutchins’ widower launched a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin, probably after seeing him shirk responsibility for orphaning his only child. Baldwin reacted by implying that Hutchins was looking to make some easy money.
But that wasn't Baldwin's worst.
In a legal filing last, Baldwin claims
that it was Hutchins who told him to cock the gun that ultimately
fired a live round of ammunition, resulting in her death.
Baldwin’s
lawyers are also saying that Baldwin's contract for the film protects him from
responsibility for any costs or claims against him. He also seeks coverage of
his legal fees.
In a
short period, Baldwin blamed the victim, mock the victim's family, reject the
idea of any reparative payments, and reserved the highest victimhood for himself.
So what do we infer?
Alec Baldwin is a violent and mentally disturbed man who found in Trump a
valid reason to continue his unhinged behavior.
The same applies to these celebrities reveling following the news of Trump's indictment.
This isn’t Trump Derangement Syndrome, Trump had nothing to their rage. Trump was merely the excuse that enabled them to claim some moral ground for their bad behavior.
If
Trump were to quit the scene, they would direct their hate against the next
man, perhaps it would be Tucker Carlson or Elon Musk or Josh Hawley, or any other
Republican whom the establishment has deemed the boogeyman.
This debunks the theory that Trump has too much ‘baggage’ and should be replaced by someone who stands for MAGA but is relatively ‘clean’ in order that he is a lesser target.
They must understand that Trump is a target not because of his ‘baggage’, if the ‘baggage’ was a target Bill Clinton would be indicted too. It has to be remembered that Trump was beloved in these circles before he became President.
Trump is a target because he stands for MAGA which the establishment sees as a threat to their monopoly.
It is not just Trump, but his supporters who have been a target.
The
January 6th protestors are being subjected to draconian punishments
and unfair trials with evidence of the video footage of that day being withheld.
A pro-Trump social
media influencer was found guilty of election interference for memes shared
around the 2016 presidential election.
The jubilating Hollywood stars are like canines who are either barking on command or leaping high in the air with an expectation that a biscuit will with thrown at them.
This is the establishment taking on the MAGA movement
