Chuck Lorre Claps Back at White House's "Seek Psychiatric Help" Insult With Epic Vanity Card

Chuck Lorre is not letting the White House get the last word. After a spokesperson suggested the TV legend“seek psychiatric help”over his Trump criticism, Lorre responded the only way he knows how, with a sarcastic vanity card that aired after Thursday’s episode of Georgie&Mandy’s First Marriage.“I don’t disagree,”he wrote, before listing off possible reasons for his so-called“derangement,”including childhood atomic bomb drills. The man knows how to land a punchline.

The feud kicked off on September 26, when Lorre received the Founders Award at Project Angel Food’s charity gala in Los Angeles and used his speech to criticize President Trump and joke about his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The White House fired back through spokesperson Davis Ingle, who told Fox News Digital that Lorre’s brain had“completely rotted”from“Trump Derangement Syndrome.”Lorre, 73, the creator of The Big Bang Theory, has been using vanity cards for decades to sneak in commentary, jokes, and occasional rants. This time, he turned one into a full-on political response.

So whether you’re on Team Lorre or think celebrities should stay out of politics, you have to admit the timing and execution were flawless. A sitcom sign-off as a clapback platform is a whole new level of petty genius. What do you think? Was Lorre’s response iconic or over the top? Drop your take in the comments.
