Trump Election Has Sent Pitts Over the Edge

Even though I rarely agree with him, I used to think columnist Leonard Pitts was a fairly reasonable person. Now I am not so sure. Something has happened to him since Donald Trump won the presidential election. Trump’s election has apparently sent Pitts over the edge. Now he comes off as a hopeless, paranoid, pitiful man. Every column he has written since the election has expressed despair and disillusionment with America. He no longer thinks our country is a place of hope and opportunity. He believes everyone is out to do in black people and other minorities. He actually buys the silly notion that Trump might usher in the Fourth Reich. Really! I’m not making this stuff up. Read some of his most recent columns. They exude nothing but doom and gloom. This man is obviously suffering from a bout of depression, melancholia, or perhaps Trump Derangement Syndrome. Pitts needs to see a psychiatrist to help him snap out of it – and the sooner the better.
