Class Action against Trump for PTSD?

Here's an idea! Let's initiate a class action suit against Trump on behalf of everyone he has traumatized!

For more than a year he has bombarded us with his terrifying proposals, malignant rabble-rousing, and horrifying view of himself and the world. His nomination was certainly a shock. Since then, well, we all know the trauma he has inflicted on us over the last 3+ months.

Does the following sound like you, or someone you know?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. . .

Re-experiencing symptoms include:
-- Flashbacks—reliving the trauma over and over, including physical symptoms like a racing heart or sweating
-- Bad dreams
-- Frightening thoughts

Avoidance symptoms include:
-- Staying away from places, events, or objects that are reminders of the traumatic experience
-- Avoiding thoughts or feelings related to the traumatic event

Arousal and reactivity symptoms include:
-- Being easily startled
-- Constantly feeling tense or “on edge”
-- Having difficulty sleeping
-- Having angry outbursts

Cognition and mood symptoms include:
-- Trouble remembering key features of the traumatic event
-- Negative thoughts about oneself or the world
-- Distorted feelings like guilt or blame
-- Loss of interest in enjoyable activities


Anybody know a good lawyer?

On Edit: Sad I gotta add this disclaimer, but to anyone who thinks I'm serious, I'm joking.

Trump may be an idiot, but he has a first amendment right to be an idiot. If it bugs you, then turn it off.
