Republicans Push to Make 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' a Mental Illness

Five Republican Minnesota state senators are set to introduce a bill tomorrow that would classify "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS), which they define as an "acute onset of paranoia" regarding the presidencies of Donald Trump, as a mental illness, according to state documents.

Throughout his presidential campaigns, Trump and his top communication advisers—including current White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and communications director Steven Cheung—have repeatedly accused many critics of having a "severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome," as Cheung previously told Newsweek. The phrase has also been used by Republican politicians and talk show hosts, among others.

The bill seeking to classify TDS as a mental illness raises concerns about the politicization of mental health diagnoses, which could be used to misappropriate care, diminish other mental health concerns, and suppress dissent and political expression.

  2. It's an obsessive illness on par with anti-Semitism. The sufferer spends all day on-line looking for articles about Trump that he can then post along with his personal condemnation. Every lie that's published is presented as truth. And there is nothing more important than hating Trump and letting everyone know they should too.
