Lab leak theory may have been ignored due to ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’The original reason the White House and media were so against the lab leak theory may be because it was something Donald Trump had suggested, says Sky News contributor Kristin Tate. “Donald Trump broke the brains of these liberals, it is Trump Derangement Syndrome – they just can’t stand Donald Trump so … if Donald Trump says it’s daytime out, it’s nighttime out,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Everything he says, they would just immediately jump to the opposite conclusion.” MSM goes into Meltdown everytime they hear that name! I LOVE IT! hahahaaha !! Trump ...and millions of regular everyday ppl who took the time to carefully consider... Pretty sad that when someone as powerful as POTUS says something, half the media (probably more) just automatically dismiss it.
