A woman wearing a 'Make America Kind Again' t-shirt was filmed unleashing a barrage of strikes on a piñata made to look like President Donald Trump with a metal pipe, as a cheering crowd egged her on. The resurfaced footage, uploaded on Saturday, captured an older gray-haired protester at a roadside demonstration sporting a 'MAKA' shirt that read 'Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You' on the back.
It is unclear when or where the woman's violent demonstration took place, but the footage was previously uploaded in September. While sporting the golden rule on her back, she ferociously beat the piñata until the replica's head was decapitated. The MAKA woman smiled and laughed, delivering more vicious blows as the cheers from the surrounding crowd grew louder. Other protesters could be seen holding signs demanding that the Trump administration be stopped.
The woman's kindness-themed t-shirt was a play on Trump's campaign slogan, MAGA: Make America Great Again. Several users online mocked the woman and pointed out the irony of a protester promoting kindness while putting on a physical display of hate. One user wrote: 'Strange how people who brand themselves as "kind & compassionate" are often the most violent among us.' Another added: 'Perfect example of how some have just lost their common sense and self-control. Turn off the TV and get a productive hobby. Geez.'
A third commented: 'The back says “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You”. Does she want someone to beat her with a stick? I’m so confused with these people.' Several others remarked that the woman suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). For years, pro-Trump pundits and allies have used the term as an insult towards critics who oppose the MAGA agenda and its leader.
In March, Republican lawmakers in Minnesota launched a bid to have Trump Derangement Syndrome considered a real mental illness. The group of GOP senators proposed a bill that would classify the term as an official disorder. The proposal detailed how TDS manifests as 'verbal expressions of intense hostility' toward Donald Trump and 'overt acts of aggression and violence' against any person or thing that expresses support for the president. The proposed bill claimed symptoms of TDS include 'Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald Trump's behavior.'
