Trump's ridiculous behavior, the libertarians think to pose a real threat to liberal democracy as they are afraid Trump will win election 2020.
However, Drumpf Daily aka Brian Tayler Mayer, who is the owner of DeafVIDEO.TV, a social networking website for the ASL community is well-known as the hub of bullying, stalking and left-communism attacks on conservatives, religions' freedom of choice and political freedom of speech as a former vlogger claimed.
The lefty owner banning conservatives and right-wings for no reason as excuses to follow R-List, apparently, they leave DVTV to Facebook, a social networking for the Deaf community leads the factor to losing vloggers and disaster which the DeafVIDEO.TV traffic statistics data going down rapidly fast when Drumpf Daily launched in 2016 at 400K to 1M to 300K in 2020 on traffic data image shown.

Why do Deaf libertarians have Trump Derangement Syndrome these today?
What is Trump Derangement Syndrome?
The term has been widely applied by pro-liberal to critics, accusing them of responding negatively to a wide range of Donald Trump's statements and actions.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a term for criticism or negative reactions to United States President Donald Trump that are alleged to be irrational and have little regard towards Trump's actual positions or actions taken.
The term has been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of his actions, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome symptoms include extreme facial defacesment of self and low self esteem. The different types of symptoms and what they look like with Trump derangement is 'real and flourishing', according to psychologists.

The origin of the term is traced to political columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist, who originally coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That "syndrome" was defined by Krauthammer as the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency-nay-the very existence of Bush.
The first use of the term 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to "Ruling Class Republicans" who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump. Krauthammer, in an op-ed harshly criticizing Trump, commented that–in addition to general hysteria about the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was the "inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology" in his behavior..

What is Liberalism?
Liberalism is a political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing individual freedom to be the central problem of politics.
'Liberalism' is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism (free markets), democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion. Yellow is the political colour most commonly associated with liberalism.

Liberalism became a distinct movement in the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among Western philosophers and economists. Liberalism sought to replace the norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, the divine right of kings and traditional conservatism with representative democracy and the rule of law. Liberals also ended mercantilist policies, royal monopolies and other barriers to trade, instead promoting free trade and free markets.
Philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct tradition, based on the social contract, arguing that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property and governments must not violate these rights. While the British liberal tradition has emphasized expanding democracy, French liberalism has emphasized rejecting authoritarianism.. Read The Full Description.
What is Orange Man Bad?
A slang term used by college students in particular to describe the 45th president of the United States, perhaps because of Donald Trump's orange tan.
Orange Man Bad (OMB) is a parody expression used to mock critics of the United States President Donald Trump. The phrase has frequently been associated with NPC Wojak to depict the character as a person programmed with simple slogans to oppose the Trump presidency. Out of the NPC context, it is often used on right-leaning Reddit communities or on 4chan.

What is Non Playable Character?
An Non Playable Character (NPC) is seemingly a human that is unable to think objectively as a forum exclusively for "right-wing, political" NPC memes.
'Non Playable Character' is any character in a game which is not controlled by a player. The term originated in traditional tabletop role-playing games, where it applies to characters controlled by the gamemaster or referee, rather than another player. In video games, this usually means a character controlled by the computer via algorithmic, predetermined or responsive behavior, but not necessarily true artificial intelligence of which applied to liberalism.

Facts: Fake News is a type of hoax or deliberate spread of misinformation with the intent to mislead in order to gain politically on social media.
Deaf YouVideo became aware about 'Fake News' issues from left-wing or right-wing news media in the Deaf Community. Fake News is an oxymoron which lends itself to undermining the credibility of information and disinformation and media products containing independently verifiable facts on social media.
Fake News also known as junk news, pseudo-news, or hoax news is a form of news consisting of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media print and broadcast or online social media. Is Donald Trump correct when he says CNN, The New York Times, and other mainstream outlets report fake news? Commentator and bestselling author Andrew Klavan explains.
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
You’ve probably heard a lot of people recently screaming and yelling about fake news. Charges fly from all points on the political spectrum: this story is mistaken - it’s Fake News; that statement is incorrect - it’s fake news.
But to my mind, these arguments miss the point. Mainstream American news is all fake because the major news outlets are so consistently biased toward the left that whether any given story they report is factual or not, their overall reportage is essentially leftist propaganda.
You can complain about the right-wing slant of Fox News all you want, but left-wing ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN have, combined, almost ten times the viewers.
The chief journalist at ABC is former Clinton operative George Stephanopoulos; the president of CBS News is David Rhodes, the brother of a former senior Obama staffer. Comcast, which owns NBC, is run by a major Democrat donor. Same for the leadership at CBS and Time Warner, which owns CNN.
Only seven percent of American journalists identify as Republican. And while a lot of news outlets forbid their reporters to donate to candidates, 96 percent of those who did donate last time out gave to Hillary Clinton.
These journalists claim that despite the fact they’re all Democrats, they can be objective. It just ain’t so. Psychologists have shown that when people associate almost exclusively with those who agree with them, they suffer from groupthink and confirmation bias and lose their ability to see events clearly.
Now, it’s not that these journalists are liars, exactly - it’s that their bias skews their reporting in very specific ways. Let me give you Andrew Klavan’s Three Rules of Mainstream Media Journalism. These can transform any story, whether it’s true or not, into Fake News... Read The Full Script.

No one is completely immune. Indeed, there is now evidence that smarter people may sometimes be even more vulnerable to certain ideas, since their greater brainpower simply allows them to rationalise their (incorrect) beliefs. Fortunately, the research also offers us some strategies to overcome those biases.
Let’s begin by examining why some false claims stick. Various studies have demonstrated that many of us rarely give our full attention when reading new statements. Consider the following question, for instance: “How many animals did Moses take on to the Ark?” Norbert Schwarz at the University of Southern California has found that only around 12% of students answer correctly (none). (It was, of course, Noah’s Ark – not Moses’s.)
Particularly when a statement feels “fluent” (easy to process) and familiar, we tend not to focus on the details and instead go with the gist. Unfortunately, there are many simple ways that purveyors of misinformation can tweak the presentation of their claims to increase a statement’s fluency and familiarity.
One example is the use of imagery – photographs help us to visualise statements, which means they can be processed fluently – and therefore seem truer. We can see this with medical stories: people are more likely to believe a pseudoscientific claim if it has a brain scan alongside it. .
Perhaps the most potent way of spreading misinformation is simple repetition; the more you hear an idea, the more likely you are to believe it to be true. That’s a serious problem when a small but vocal community - of climate change deniers, say - are presented as talking heads on TV and radio.
In these ways, we can begin to see how misinformation can be engineered to bypass logical thinking and critical questioning. But do intelligence and education protect us against false claims? The latest research shows it partly depends on your thinking style. Some people are “cognitive misers”, for instance: they may have a lot of brainpower that allows them to perform well in exams, but they don’t always apply it, using intuition and gut instinct rather than reflective, analytical thinking. This thinking style is commonly measured with a tool known as the “cognitive reflection test” using questions such as: “If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?” The correct answer is five, but many otherwise intelligent people say 100 - the more intuitive response...

We have been researching the psychology of fake news for almost three years now, with the goal of finding out why people believe fake news and what each of us do to avoid falling for it ourselves.

Why do Deaf Americans prefer socialism over capitalism, they could turn the United States into another Venezuela.
Decades after Capitalism seemed to have triumphed over Socialism, politicians are once again arguing about the merits and drawbacks of these opposing economic systems. Why are we still having this debate?
Andrew Puzder, former CEO of the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr., explains the misconceptions that keep the debate alive.
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
Capitalism versus socialism. We can sum up each economic system in one line:
Capitalism is based on human greed. Socialism is based on human need.
Right?
No. You're wrong!
So wrong, it’s exactly backwards. And Andrew Puzder will prove it to you.
Been on Amazon lately? Each of the thousands of products Amazon offers represents the work of people who believe they have something you want or need. If they’re right, they prosper. If they’re wrong, they don’t.
That’s how the free market works. It encourages people to improve their lives by satisfying the needs of others. No one starts a business making a thing or providing a service for themselves. They start a business to make things or provide services for others.
Puzder speak from personal experience.
When he was the CEO of the company that owns Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurant chains, they spent millions of dollars every year trying to determine what customers wanted. If customers didn’t like something, we changed it-and fast, because if they didn’t, our competitors would (pun intended) eat them for lunch.
The consumer-that’s you-has the ultimate power. In effect, you vote with every dollar you spend.
In a socialist economy, the government has the ultimate power. It decides what you get from a limited supply it decides should exist.
Instead of millions of people making millions of decisions about what they want, a few people-government elites-decide what people should have and how much they should pay for it. Not surprisingly, they always get it wrong. Have you ever noticed that late-stage socialist failures always run out of essential items like toilet paper?
Of course, this isn’t a problem for those who have the right connections with the right people. Those chosen few get whatever they want. But everyone else is out of luck.
Venezuela, once the richest country in South America, is the most recent example of socialism driving a prosperous country into an economic ditch. Maybe you think it’s an unfair example. I’m not sure why, but okay. We’ll ignore the fact that leftist activists celebrated it as a great socialist success right up until it wasn’t.
But what about Western European countries? Don't they have socialist economies? People seem pretty happy there. Why can’t we have what they have-free health care, free college, stronger unions?
Good question. And the answer may surprise you.
There are no socialist countries in Western Europe. Most are just as capitalist as the United States. The only difference-and it’s a big one-is that they offer more government benefits than the U.S. does.
We can argue about the costs of these benefits and the point at which they reduce individual initiative, thus doing more harm than good. Scandinavians have been debating those questions for years. But only a free-market capitalist economy can produce the wealth necessary to sustain all of the supposedly “free stuff” Europeans enjoy. To get the “free stuff,” after all, you have to create enough wealth to generate enough tax revenue to pay for everything the government gives away.
Former Prime Minister of Canada explains why Trump won.
Were you shocked at the results of the 2016 American presidential election? Most people were, but Stephen Harper was not one of them. Here, the former Prime Minister of Canada explains the trends that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s victory and left many political elites looking wildly out of touch.
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
Stephen Harper was elected to the Parliament of Canada seven times-three times as Prime Minister. He did not expect Donald Trump to be elected President of the United States. But unlike most observers, he did think it was at least possible.
Why?
Because he sensed, as Mr. Trump surely did, that the political landscape had shifted.
The underlying issue is this: Over the last few decades, thanks to globalization, a billion people-mostly in the emerging markets of Asia-have lifted themselves out of poverty. This, of course, is a good thing. Yet, in many Western countries, the incomes of working people have stagnated or even declined over the same period.
In short, many Americans voted for Donald Trump because the global economy has not been working for them. We can pretend that this is a false perception. We can keep trying to convince people that they misunderstand their own lives. Or we can try to understand what they are saying and offer some solutions.
Harper prefer the latter approach.
Let he begin with this:
In our contemporary world, there are, as British journalist David Goodhart describes it, those who can live “Anywhere,” and those who live “Somewhere.”
Imagine you work for an international bank, computer company, or consulting firm. You can wake up in New York, London, or Singapore and feel at home. Your work is not threatened by import competition or technological dislocation. You vocally support all international trade agreements and high levels of immigration. You are one of those who can live Anywhere. There are a lot of those people. But there are a lot more completely unlike them.
Let’s say you’re a factory worker, a small-businessperson, or in retail sales. Your work has been disrupted by outsourcing, cheap imports and technological change. Your children attend the local schools and your aging parents live nearby. Your social life is connected to a local church, sports team, or community group.
If things go badly at your company, or if policy choices by politicians turn out to be wrong, you can’t just shift your life to somewhere else. Like it or not, you depend on the economic policies of your national or state government. When it doesn’t come through for you, you’re not happy. And when it ignores you entirely, you get angry.
It’s easy for Anywheres to dismiss these concerns. But the Anywheres’ faith in global solutions and multi-national political bodies is founded more on fantasy than fact.
The fact is, the critical functions of laws and regulations and monetary and fiscal stability, among other things, are provided by nations, not global institutions.
The nation, with all its flaws, is a concrete reality. The “global community” is little more than a concept. Yet it is the Anywheres, with their faith in globalization-not the Somewheres-who have dominated the politics of almost every advanced country.
That is, until now. This sea-change is not limited to the United States. The same dynamics-“Anywhere” elites versus “Somewhere” populists-is playing out all across the Western world.
These populists, as I’ve tried to show, are not the ignorant and misguided “deplorables” depicted in mainstream media. They are our family, friends, and neighbors. The populists represent, by definition, the interests of ordinary people. And, in a democratic system, the people are supposed to be our customers.

Kansas House candidate loses support from Democrats after multiple women accuse him of abuse.
OLATHE, Kansas -- Chris Haulmark, who could be the first Deaf state legislator in Kansas, lost the support of Democrats after multiple women accused him of emotional abuse. He's admitted to having "done some things" he isn't "proud of."
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
After multiple women have come forward with allegations of emotional and mental abuse, Kansas Democrats have pulled their support from a state House candidate poised to make history.
Chis Haulmark - running for a state House seat in Kansas’ 15th congressional district – would reportedly be the first Deaf lawmaker at either a local or national level if elected. But he’s been publicly accused by multiple women, including former girlfriends and roommates, of emotional abuse and manipulative behavior.
Tonia Jimmerson, who said she previously dated Haulmark, claimed in a Facebook video he threatened to run her over with a car, burn down a camping tent with her young daughter inside and leave her and her children in a national park in Montana. She also alleged he had threatened her with a gun during the relationship.
“Time and time again, you lied to us. You manipulated us. You made us feel low about ourselves,” she said in a separate Facebook post. “You threatened us. You threatened our children. You took advantage of our kind and fragile hearts for your own benefit.”
Haulmark told The Kansas City Star he never threatened Jimmerson with a firearm, and said some allegations stemmed from Jimmerson taking his remarks during arguments out of context.
Candy Villesca, a former roommate of Haulmark's, also claimed he was emotionally abusive and manipulative years ago, The Star reported. Villesca alleged he “brainwashed” her into thinking she had a mental illness.
“Chris should not be in the kind of role he’s running for, with those types of habits of hurting women,” she said.
Haulmark lived in the home of Jennifer Carlino from April 2017 to January 2018, The Star reports. Carlino alleged he “threatened [her] into silence” during that time.
“He even confessed to me that he is very capable of taking revenge on people if he didn’t get what he wanted,” Carlino said in a Facebook video, according to The Star.
“I will admit that I haven’t always been the best boyfriend, husband, co-worker or friend,” Haulmark said in a Facebook post, adding that he’s sought therapy for several years to work on his relationships.
Haulmark denies over allegations as well as he puts allegations to rest and focuses back on winning the election.
“With that said, I am far from perfect. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve said things I regret, I’ve done some things that I’m not proud of … Some might say that would disqualify me from running for office,” he continued. “I say it makes me a better representative to those in my district.”
In a separate Facebook post, Haulmark revealed he’s been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and has sought treatment for the illness. He also said he's staying in the race because his Republican opponent, John Toplikar, “would be a detriment to our district.”
“I truly believe in making things better. I truly believe in change. I truly believe that my story can help change other stories,” he said.
According to The Star, Kansas House Democrats have since pulled their support for Haulmark, calling the accusations “deeply troubling.”
“This pattern of behavior disqualifies Haulmark from being a standard bearer for the Democratic Party,” the Democrats said in a statement.
Haulmark told the newspaper it’s “understandable” for the party to distance itself from him “given the political climate.”
Deaf Voters: The inconvenient truth about the Democratic Party.
A simple question for the Deaf Democratic community, did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the Ku Klux Klan, and fought against every major civil rights act in United States history?
Watch as Carol Swain, professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, shares the inconvenient history of the Democratic Party.
To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.
Script: When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats?
Most people would probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect.
Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination.
The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely. This effort, however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. In the 1857 case Dred Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t citizens; they’re property. The seven justices who voted in favor of slavery? All Democrats. The two justices who dissented? Both Republicans.
The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a bloody civil war. The commander-in-chief during that war was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves.
Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed slaves into the South’s economic and social order.
Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote. All three passed only because of universal Republican support.
During the era of Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure rights for the newly freed slaves. Hundreds of black men were elected to southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the US Congress by 1900. The Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.
But after Reconstruction ended, when the federal troops went home, Democrats roared back into power in the South. They quickly reestablished white supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses. And they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black citizen’s right to vote.
And how was all of this enforced? By terror -- much of it instigated by the Ku Klux Klan, founded by a Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest.
As historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat - notes:
“In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.”
VICE shares article by Deaf novelist Sara Nović explains why thousands of the Deaf community fears US President Donald J. Trump.
WASHINGTON DC -- "'All men are created equal.' Well, it's not true." That's President-elect Donald Trump, a clip unearthed for a PBS documentary that shone a light on, among other things, Trump's apparent belief that some people are born smart, born to be successful, born with what he has called "the winning gene."
"The [Trump] family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development," Trump biographer Michael D'Antonio told the team behind the Frontline documentary The Choice. "They believe that there are superior people, and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring."
This belief, that certain genes make better people, is an echo of eugenics, a racist, pseudoscientific philosophy that aims to "improve" the human race by breeding out supposedly bad characteristics. When it became popular in the late 19th century, eugenics became the driving force behind a number of atrocities against many minority groups, including the Deaf community. The Nazis were the most infamous eugenicists, but there were many other believers. Alexander Graham Bell used eugenics to propose a ban on sign language and deaf intramarriage in his 1884 paper, Upon the Formation of a Deaf Variety of the Human Race." Deaf people were institutionalized and some forcibly sterilized for years afterward; Deaf education was upended and students' hands were literally tied down to prevent them from signing. Bell's ideas about the superiority of oralism over bilingual schooling remain embedded in our education and legislative systems, despite having been scientifically debunked.
Policy-wise, the future for deaf people is as murky as it is for everyone else, as Trump constantly introduces and walks back proposals varying in levels of moral reprehensibility, legality, and feasibility. According to his most recent statements, his plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and "re-establish high-risk pools" (as his website puts it) would result in loss of healthcare coverage for many Deaf and Disabled people whose conditions can be classified as preexisting. Deaf and Disabled people who depend on Medicaid for insurance or medical devices not covered by traditional health insurance are also fearful, as Trump's rollback of ACA's Medicaid expansion could affect the approximately 7 million people who have gained coverage under it.
Deaf and disabled people have also voiced concern about a potentially weaker ADA under Trump. The ADA is enforced by the Department of Justice's civil rights division, and given Trump's properties' alleged ADA violations and the traditional conservative stance against government spending and oversight, cuts seem likely, leaving us at the whim of private companies' bottom lines.
The ADA bars employers from discriminatory hiring practices and protects our rights to "reasonable accommodations" like closed captions and sign language interpreters at work and school. For the wider disability community, the ADA ensures things like wheelchair ramps, elevators, and handicapped parking and bathrooms. An ADA weakened by lack of oversight and money could well mean continued police brutality against people with disabilities. In the case of Deaf people specifically, law enforcement already has troubling record of arresting and detaining people without providing interpreters, or even a pen and paper, to explain the reason for arrest or Mirandize them. Unarmed Deaf people, whom police misinterpret to be aggressive or using gang signs, have been killed with impunity—Daniel Harris, Edward P. Miller, and John T. Williams are among the more famous cases.
Questions of discrimination and accessibility if the ADA becomes less of priority in a Trump DOJ also extend to the education sector. Schools for the Deaf, branches of their state public school systems, are likely to be endangered by budget cuts and funding shifts from the public sector to charter and voucher systems, which Trump endorses. Deaf schools are often among the first to be cut from struggling districts, with Deaf students instead sent to mainstream schools where they are unable to communicate directly with their teachers and peers. Further, Deaf schools traditionally serve as hubs for Deaf culture, providing independent living and job training for post-grads, offering (often free) American Sign Language (ASL) classes to interested locals, leading research in linguistics and special education, and hosting social and cultural events—all resources left defunct upon the closure of a Deaf school.
And where fears of budget cuts and eugenics intersect, some worry about the threat of mandatory cochlear implantation, via which Deaf students could theoretically be integrated into hearing schools at a lower cost. Though it sounds extreme, it's not any larger a violation of one's individual medical choices than Trump and Pence's assault on women's reproductive rights. (The idea that the decision not to implant one's child is evidence of neglect has already surfaced in family court, though so far the argument hasn't been successful.)
Finally, as hate speech against racial and religious minorities spikes across the country, Deaf and disabled people have also experienced post-election hate speech in the name of the president-elect. In one example, Lena Van Manen, a CODA (child of Deaf adults who is a native sign language user) and a coordinator at the Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education in Indiana, wrote on Facebook about being confronted while facetiming with a Deaf friend in Starbucks. Used to people staring while she signed, she ignored the glare from a man across the store until he got in her face and screamed, "This is white America now. Take your retarded self and go somewhere else."
We can't know for sure what Trump will do, but if he does what he says he wants to do, it will hurt us. His words already have.
Coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and Deaf American's ‘White America’ is misleading and possibly rigged.
Share from Facebook: Let this be clear. This isn’t a pro-Democrat or Republican blog, no taken sides in the presidential race, just expressing the opinions.
Here's the blog coverage on Marlee Matlin's ‘Retarded’ and a Deaf American's ‘White America’ There's something fishy going on, is it a rigged or not, you decide.
Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's "retarded"
Three NBC staffers on the reality TV show, who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure agreements, told the Daily Beast that Trump often treated Matlin with disrespect and called her “retarded,” both behind her back and in front of her, as seen on Marlee Matlin Slams Donald Trump ‘Retarded’.
Thousand of Deaf American voters, mostly Republican supporters does not believe three NBC staffers' claimed, because, there was no proven or evidence that a Republican presidential candidate Trump repeatedly called her “retarded”.
Rigged is a conspiracy theory that circulated alleging Donald Trump repeatedly called Marlee Matlin's “retarded” before the Presidential Election 2016, apparently, Matlin appeared on the Celebrity Apprentice and the second place on season 11 in 2011, it was 5 years ago, when the Presidential Election is near an end and three staffers of the NBC of Democratic Party too soon announced in 2016 five years later regarding Trump's comment's “retarded”, which three NBC staffers were in fear the Republican Donald Trump would be president, and they set up an accused of discrimination as bait Deaf Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton, that figures, unfortunately, it was not work that way. There seems to be something fishy going on with the NBC of Democratic Party. 'Rigged'?
#2: Something fishy going on about the image of Deaf American man claims.
“This is white America now.” Deaf American man abused in cafe.
Deaf American man has written about the abuse he faced in a cafe just hours after Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential election.
Deaf American man nor woman is a Liberal, who's possibly make it up the story to the Deaf community. Some of voters find quite bizarre strange about this image.
First of all: Ironically about this texts image and it seems not make sense, because, the media claimed "Deaf American Man" has written which Lena is a female given name, not a male given name. However, Lena Van Manen is a child of Deaf parents (CODA) and has native signing skills. She is a freelance interpreter with a NIC Master certification from RID, which must be her associate has written on her Facebook, it's not clarify enough as misleading.
Nyle DiMarco reposted and share, to protect the user (Lena Van Manen)
Second: Deafies puzzles this texts image, how the hell he has been communicate with a racial slurs hearing person which he could not understand what a guy was saying and screaming from two inches of nose to nose? Lena was with her associate the whole time at Starbucks in early morning? There was no proven or evidence. There seems to be something fishy going on. 'Rigged'?
Hillary Clinton's campaign were disappointment from the Republican swept to victory over Hillary in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics a remarkable upset, that's mainly reasons. They are probably pissed off because, they got their asses whipped by Republicans. What a butthurt for Democrat supporters these today in America.
