In yet another crazy example of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Washington Post is now going after hamburgers for a “Russian connection” merely because Donald Trump likes to eat a burger now and again.

You read that right. Hamburgers are now Russian assets because Donald Trump likes them.

These people really have a major mental problem.

On Wednesday, the paper published an article entitled Even one of Trump’s favorite foods has a hidden Russia connection.

The ridiculous piece promises to expose “the hamburger inspired Soviet food fad you’ve never heard of.”

The piece adds, “peel back the oil-spattered pages of history, and you’ll find that the sandwich so closely aligned with the stars and stripes was once also embraced by the hammer and sickle.”

“Yep, like so much about this current administration, even Trump’s beloved hamburgers have surprising ties to Russia,” the writer bloviated.
