I bring your attention to this post on the usually very good Point of Order blog.
For some time now I have viewed TDS as a humorous label for left-wing nutters and the not very bright, accompanied by a few who rubbished Trump's chances of success four years ago and have never forgiven themselves for it (i.e. DPF over at Kiwiblog).
Recently, however, it appears to be affecting other, usually bright people.
Point of Order has been one of the very few non-partisan blogs, always worth reading but in the new year it appears that may not continue.
If the post linked to is an indicator of that I'm sorry.
The post starts off gently raising hopes that the Ockers may help NZ out, only to immediately dash those hopes then goes on to push a completely and provably false claim on Trump.
That claim is that he is an uncontrolled war-maker.
Mr Trump, who has in his presidency refrained from attacking Iran when they misbehaved in and near the Suez Canal (claiming consideration of innocent civilians as the reason), has brought North Korea's Kim to the table and is slowly withdrawing US troops from foreign soil, took out a terrorist responsible for thousands of murders and potentially saved thousands more people from a similar fate.
He did so cleanly and decisively and in doing so showed up Iran for the pathetic bully it is.
The Point of Order blogger ignores all the Trump positives, all the things that Trump has done and is doing to improve the world in which we live and implies Trump is an uncontrolled maniac.
Trump's record demonstrates the reverse.
TDS at it's worst!
Disclaimer: I am not Seppo but were I, I would have voted against Mr Trump's opponent in the last Seppo presidential election.
