Trump haters: It's easy to diagnose what ails them

Re: “Trump behavior suggests early dementia,” (TNT letter, 7/29).

I would like to express my gratitude to the letter writer who diagnosed President Trump as suffering from dementia based on the writer’s observance of his own parents’ affliction.

I now realize that I can diagnose certain manifestations since we need no knowledge. Thus I have made the following diagnosis: The letter writer suffers from a disease that seems prevalent among Democrats.

It’s called “loser-itis.” In my expert opinion, the only remedy is to swallow the bitter pill called defeat.

I am also concerned about myself, since another symptom the writer mentions is repeating the same phrase over and over. I seem to be doing that when I say “honey, did you make the coffee?”

It would be appropriate for Democrats to keep a supply of these defeat pills handy. We deplorables are going to do it again! You can bet your diagnosis on that!
