Imagine the justified backlash if Biden had described the 2024 attempted assassinations of Trump as caused by "Biden derangement syndrome", or if anyone had described the assassination of Charlie Kirk as caused by "censorship derangement syndrome".
When a politically powerful figure says irresponsible and irrational things so openly without a hint of remorse, how much trust can I place in the seemingly responsible ideas that the figure might say on better days? I think Gell-Mann amnesia [1] applies to listeners of influential figures as much as it applies to readers/listeners of media organizations, if not more so.
