Trump Excusal Syndrome

Psychological response wherein a Trump supporter immediately latches onto any excuse, no matter how feeble, implausible, or contrary to video evidence that the excuse may be, to justify Trump's behavior before and during his presidency.

The excuse often mirrors Trump's own excuses, or those pushed by right-wing media, and can change multiple times in a day, often contradicting earlier excuses. Sufferers of TES are unable to recognize those contradictions.

Common examples include: "He was just being sarcastic." "That's just fake news." and "That was Obama's fault."

My grandpa told me today that Trump was just being sarcastic when he suggested we inject disinfectant, even after we watched the video of it together - I fear he might have a terminal case of Trump Excusal Syndrome :(

Officium Adversus Exitus

Latin for Responsibility Failure. Also known as ODE, this refers to anyone who dumps their responsibilities on to others. It specifically refers to fancy rat breeders who suddenly decide to "downsize" and re-home their rats.

Man, Bill's a total officium adversus exitus! He pulled an ODE!

The Prasad Excuse

When at an Indian family gathering you discover that the mithai is in fact delicious (as compared to being not delicious) and eat 12 pieces claiming that because it is blessed food you should have it.

Thank your mom for that handmade mithai. I ate 5 pieces citing the prasad excuse.
