The term "flying monkeys" is used in psychology to describe people who act as proxies for narcissists, or who enable a narcissist's behavior. Flying monkeys are also known as enablers or hatchet men. They may use their friends, family, or others as spies or to spread rumors about the narcissist. Flying monkeys may also gaslight, manipulate, or trivialize the narcissist's feelings. The term comes from The Wizard of Oz, where the Wicked Witch of the West sends her flying monkeys to do her bidding. Flying monkeys may be difficult to recognize because they may seem like normal people who are simply taking sides in a disagreement.

Can those Republicans be fined or charged, or warned then fined? Can the Judge make an announcement claiming that anyone who does anything similar to Trump violating the gag order will be found in contempt of the court as if they were Mr. Trump himself. And future violations made by these persons or Trump accumulate.

Considering medical and mental health, previous president 45 (pp45) needs to be in Walter Reed Hospital. The soldiers go there to survive, improve, get on with their lives.
