The anti-Trump hysteria has apparently reached new levels of weird.

Earlier this month, an elderly Oregonian man achieved his dying wish just moments before passing away, when his ex-wife reportedly told him that President Donald Trump had been impeached.

Which, by the by, is most definitely not true.

An obit published in the Oregonian Sunday explains how 75-year-old Michael Garland Elliott, an avid lover of golf and wearer of all things Nike, passed away from congestive heart failure, but only after hearing the “news.”

Mike ran out of family long ago and is survived by his ex-wife and best friend, Teresa Elliott. Though their marriage ran aground, their friendship only grew stronger and hers was the last voice Mike heard. And the last thing she said to him was "Donald Trump has been impeached." Upon hearing that he took his final, gentle breath, his earthly work concluded.

Well, then.

The New York Daily News reached out to Ms. Elliott for a comment regarding her late ex-husband’s feelings toward the president, to which she reportedly replied, “He hated his effing guts.”

“I knew it was his very, very last moments,” Teresa Elliott told The News. “I knew that would bring him comfort and it did. He then took his final breath.”

Ms. Elliott added she has no regrets about lying to her ex during his final breaths, explaining, "If I could leave him with a happy piece of news then why wouldn’t I? And maybe in the end it won't turn out to be a lie.”

Ah, true love.

One can only hope that, for Mr. Elliott’s sake, there are no newspapers in the afterlife.
