Presidential Kakorrhaphiophobia

Irrational fear

Overwhelms the candidate

At thoughts of failure

Author's Note

Kakorrhaphiophobia is an abnormal, persistent, irrational fear of failure. In clinical cases, it's debilitating: the fear of even the most subtle failure or defeat is so intense that it restricts a person from doing anything at all.

Altho I love your sniffing out a phenomenal & rarely-heard word to enlighten us, I would have to say Trump suffers from the exact opposite of this malady Kakorrhaphiophobia! His delusions run in the other direction, I'm afraid. Actually, I think it's the people who desperately want to be rid of Trump & all his grifters who are suffering the worst case of Kakorrhaphiophobia right now with debilitating flashbacks to the election of 2016 *heh! heh! heh!* Thank you for always challenging us with your spot-on brain twisters (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Maybe this explains all if the fear mongering in all of the platforms. Summed it all up quite nicely.

If I knew how to pronounce it, would help! What a magnificent word, Phill.. and even more magnificent use of it in this brief contingency plan.: how to debunk and debase with a swift flop and flap of letters.

Thanks lots for sharing, take care, keep safe. ,
