Donald Trump is already causing massive headaches for Democrats just days into his second administration, so they decided to hire some shrinks. 

The president has wasted no time in issuing numerous executive orders that reverse key policies from the Biden era. Among these changes are the abandonment of promises like student loan forgiveness and a more relaxed approach to immigration restrictions.

The deportation of undocumented immigrants has already begun, causing distress among some Democrats who are struggling to come to terms with the wave of actions supported by MAGA.

So some congressional Democrats hired some psychologists to help them deal with Trump-related changes. 

Hal Movius, a specialist in ’emotion regulation,’ facilitated a retreat for members of the House Judiciary Committee, as shared by Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat.

University of Virginia psychologist Jim Coan, who also specializes in emotional regulation, was also there to aide the Democrats. 

‘They’re social psychologists, and they were just talking about communication and authoritarian styles of speech in the Trump age,’ Raskin said of the therapy sessions.

‘We were talking about basically communication styles during the Trump era,’ the Democrat first told Punchbowl News.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-M.d., who sparred with Trump during his impeachments, brought in psychologists to help Democrats learn to deal with the president

Raskin is the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and he will be tasked with challenging Republicans and Trump on legal and Justice Department matters. 

He was also the chief impeachment manager who argued against Trump after his second impeachment resulting from the January 6 riot. 

Serving as a constitutional professor before joining Congress, Raskin is trained on the government’s legal affairs and will look to stymie his rival Jim Jordan, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary committee. 

‘This is only President Trump’s first week in office, and he’s already broken the House Democrats’ brains again. They’re already calling their shrinks,’ Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, said of the therapy sessions. 

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer also ripped Raskin for having ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

‘It’s no surprise that Jamie Raskin summoned professional psychologists to provide therapy for Democrats afflicted with the incurable disease of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) in the wake of all this winning.’

‘However, no amount of therapy will help Jamie Raskin and other Democrats suffering from TDS as they face the endless wins from the Trump Administration benefiting the American people.’

‘Jamie Raskin has faced a difficult few months,’ he said. ‘The American people rejected what Jamie Raskin and other Democrats were selling, President Trump won in a landslide, and Jamie Raskin even received a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden — a move the Biden Justice Department has argued implies an admission of guilt.’

Democrats like Raskin have also had to deal with Trump’s pardons for the January 6 protestors he has so thoroughly denounced. 

Having overseen the impeachment for Trump’s ‘insurrection,’ Raskin openly feuded with the president, claiming he sought to ‘block the constitutional transfer of power.’

He called it a ‘mega-offense of coup and insurrection against the constitutional democracy.’
