The TDS-laden war between CBS sitcom producer Chuck Lorre and his arch nemesis Donald Trump continues to fester as the Two and a Half Men creator took to his controversial vanity cards (which he briefly airs on network television after his shows) to respond to the president encouraging Lorre to seek psychiatric help. Trump issued the remarks in response to Lorre’s recent speech at a charity event where he claimed to wake up every morning to see if Trump died from a bowel movement on the toilet.
Lorre has a long history of attacking Trump via his vanity cards, which we’ve covered extensively. Card #789 aired after Thursday’s season 3 premiere episode of Lorre’s comedy Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. There was no apology in the snarky card for eagerly hoping for the president’s death or his low blows aimed at Melania Trump and RFK, Jr.’s neurological/speech disorder.
Instead, he sarcastically expressed gratitude for the president’s concern for his mental health.

A spokesperson for the White House recently announced that I need psychiatric help. I don't disagree. I'm not a big fan of mood-altering drugs or electroshock therapy, you know, Cuckoo's Nest stuff, but I would be up for a chat with a trained professional who gently encourages me to seek out childhood experiences that negatively impact my thinking and behavior. (A possible culprit could be weekly atomic bomb drills in grade school. This involved hiding under my desk to avoid being cut to ribbons from the classroom windows imploding.) It might also be worth investigating if toxins in my environment bear any responsibility for my "derangement." (Can't ignore all those mesothelioma commercials.) Regardless of how we proceed, I do appreciate this very public concern for my mental health. It's comforting to know my government is looking out for me.
It’s hard to tell if he really expects sympathy and/or if he’s trying to play the victim. But, after the harsh words he spoke, pardon us if we don’t feel much sympathy. An apology would have been a lot classier and a more acceptable way of handling the hornet’s nest he stirred at an event that should have been unifying.
Also, how someone who writes such funny sitcoms can be so unfunny in real life is a bit confusing. We’re all about free speech and sharing your opinions but when you sink so low as to hope for someone’s death or mock someone’s neurological/speech disorder (something the left was outraged about when they thought Trump mocked a reporter’s disability, but for some reason they’re silent now), or refer to our classy, intelligent First Lady as a “Yugoslavian escort,” don’t be surprised when people think you're worthy of a pile of public outrage.

MRC President David Bozell discussed the issue October 2 on The Lars Larson Show stating, “And these guys wonder why half the country hates Hollywood,” adding, “Imagine receiving an award…and you decide, ‘You know what, people? You know what this evening really needs? Some kind of bowel movement joke about the president dying.’”
