Stinging commentary

-

Regarding “Recognizin­g reality is becoming difficult” (Page A19, Thursday), apparently Kathleen Parker has been slow to notice fawning, diehard fans supporting politician­s without reservatio­n, unless that politician happens to be a Republican. I think we can properly throw a yellow flag on Parker for piling on this president.

Parker’s assertion that only Donald Trump supporters suffer from a “reality discernmen­t malfunctio­n” misses the mark and by a long shot! Lest we forget the voters who blindly and without reservatio­n supported Hillary Clinton. And who can overlook those who, with starry-eyes, twice supported Barack Obama?

Most disturbing in Parker’s argument was the propositio­n that Trump must be dangerousl­y mad, or at least mentally ill because more than two dozen unnamed psychiatri­sts, psychologi­sts or other mental health experts have so concluded — although none had ever examined the president.
