Trump Derangement Syndrome is pushing a lot of people in some bad directions that are hard to come back from. We've seen it with those that had it with Obama and quite a few in regards to Dubya.
It's pretty dispiriting because it removes a level of common sense and basic compassion from their equation in dealing with things and that spreads to other areas.

Wishing destruction of Mar-a-lago is wishing destruction on the rest of Palm Beach county

Trump probably will legally launder money, with a 20 times appraised value Russian indemnity policy.

Yep. Read something earlier about how much money he raked in when he just had minor hurricane damage

Personally, I think it is grotesque and shameful to wish destruction on anyone...
