In the ever-entertaining world of politics, there’s never a dull moment, especially when Hollywood celebrities find themselves caught in the crossfire. Our sacred duty to science and reason now reveals a term affecting many in the entertainment industry: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). It’s a phenomenon that has been delightfully chronicled through the transformations of some of Hollywood’s flashy folks who’ve seemingly taken the long road down the path spelled T-R-U-M-P.

First in the lineup, there’s George Lopez. The often-radical comedian from back in 2017 looks markedly different today, some would say. Once a spry comedian, Lopez appears to have aged a decade while Trump has seemingly defied the rigors of father time. Is there a deeper spell at work, or just unfortunate tired jokes catching up with him?

Next on this merry-go-round, we have Kathy Griffin. Remember when she was just “kind of that lady” in Hollywood? Now, fear casts long shadows over her face, as if a mummy suddenly sprang to life but forgot to leave the linens behind. Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to have cast a particularly daunting shadow over Ms. Griffin, compelling onlookers to wonder if she’s living under a particularly spooky Halloween spell year-round.

Oh, but we should continue with the hilarity Ellen DeGeneres brings us with her flourishing countryside escapade. Despite the imaginative narrative, she has not been documented moving to England nor having any tractor troubles. Ironically, in the land of charm and stiff upper lips, it’s the very masculinity she often critiques that saves her from a tractor-tastrophe. Who would have thought her official tractor rescuer would be a white knight in the form of a helpful British chap?

Then there’s George Clooney, who doesn’t quite seem to be the dazzling A-lister he once was perceived as. Appearing rather hunched and considerably thin, Clooney struggles to come to grips with both his appearance and his fading stardom. There’s no record of Joe Biden not recognizing him at a fundraiser, which sure is enough to ruffle even Clooney’s feathers.

Now, as the Democrat party scrambles trying to patch together a viable strategy, they are metaphorically and physically wandering in the wilderness. There’s scuttlebutt about coups and young guns like David Hogg and AOC brandishing their financial muscle. They raise millions to possibly exorcise the older spirits haunting the Democratic mansion. Meanwhile, experienced hands like Rahm Emanuel tiptoe warily around their names, unwilling to acknowledge their presence.

In this topsy-turvy political landscape, one can only hope the Democrats find a compelling candidate soon to wheedle any remaining glamor Clooney and comrades can muster. Whether stepping up to the challenge of the mighty Right or plotting an unexpected resurrection akin to our Hollywood friends’, their time is of the essence. Until then, grab your popcorn because, folks, this is about to get even more entertaining.
