In an interview with WBUR, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) conceded that there was some validity to the Republican accusation of 'Trump derangement syndrome' among Democrats, stating that some Democrats refused to consider any ideas from the first Trump administration. He emphasized the need for Democrats to move beyond simple opposition and engage in constructive debate.
During an interview with WBUR aired on Wednesday, Rep. Seth Moulton said there is “a little bit of truth” to the accusation by Republicans that Democrats suffered from Trump derangement syndrome and “There was some degree to which many Democrats just wouldn’t even entertain an idea coming from the first Trump administration.”
WBUR Senior Political Reporter Anthony Brooks asked, “It sounds like what you’re suggesting is that Democrats face a risk that, if they only lead with resistance, they get branded as the party of no. Is that something that you need to be careful of? Do you agree with that analysis?” Moulton answered, “That’s right. We can’t just be the party of no. The Republicans charged Democrats in the past with something they called Trump derangement syndrome. And the idea was that Democrats just reflexively opposed every single thing Trump suggested, and you know, Anthony, there’s actually a little bit of truth to that. There was some degree to which many Democrats just wouldn’t even entertain an idea coming from the first Trump administration.
