Janet Channy’s ascribing a quote from Macbeth to describe President Trump gave rise to another quote from Macbeth that seems to summarize those with Trump Derangement Syndrome (Shakespeare had the president’s number,” March 5).
My apologizes to William Shakespeare:
Macbeth: How does your patient, doctor?
Doctor: Not so sick, my lord, as she is troubled with thick-coming fancies that keep her from rest.
Macbeth: Cure her of that! Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain, and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon her heart?
Doctor: Therein the patient must minister to himself.
