Turning Point USA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk pushed back on Wednesday against the idea that Donald Trump’s presidency represents a personal crisis for many on the left.

During a candid exchange with political analyst Mark Halperin on “2Way Tonight,” Kirk dismissed what he called the emotional overreaction of many on the left to Trump’s presidency and said their level of distress reveals deeper issues. Halperin encouraged Kirk to show more empathy toward those who view Trump’s presidency as a personal crisis and urged him to consider why so many on the left feel emotionally devastated, but Kirk didn’t mince words.

“I’m sorry, that’s a sign of a deeply unwell person if a president winning a presidency is the worst thing ever happened to you,” Kirk said.

Kirk acknowledged these emotions but questioned whether such extreme reactions were rooted in reason or simply a deep political fixation.

WATCH: 

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how to respond to that. Yeah, they have to defend themselves, but I guess they don’t like the policies that President Trump’s implementing. They don’t like the way his style is. I hear it all. I don’t agree with it,” Kirk added.

Kirk said he believes many critics have lost perspective.

“I think the catastrophizing of this is the worst thing that’s happened in my life, worse than death or like a friend getting cancer or worse than bankruptcy or worse than your neighbor committing suicide, because the person you don’t like became president. Maybe you’re too politics-obsessed. That’s my best answer,” Kirk said.

Since Trump’s return to office, Democrats have suffered a series of public meltdowns that suggest the party is struggling to cope with the political shift. From viral breakdowns to open defiance of federal law, these incidents have become increasingly frequent.

One of the earliest displays came from Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff, who began floating impeachment talk before Trump even retook the oath of office. Just days ahead of Inauguration Day, Schiff vowed that Democrats were ready to “fight,” signaling their intent to revive the same partisan battles that defined Trump’s first term.
