GOP Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Classify ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ As A Mental Health Issue

A handful of Republican state senators in Minnesota have proposed a bill that would classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” commonly referred to as “TDS,” as a mental illness.

TDS is a phrase used by conservatives to refer to liberals, or other anti-Trump critics, who have an immense hatred towards the president that often defies logic. Sufferers typically exhibit no ability to give Trump credit for anything, even when he delivers on things they claim to have wanted, and will commonly use labels like “dictator” and “Nazi” to describe the democratically-elected president.

Notable TDS patients include the cast of “The View,” numerous CNN and MSNBC personalities, and Rob Reiner. In Reiner’s case, the actor’s TDS became so severe that he checked himself into a mental health facility shortly after Trump won the presidential election back in November.

Now, Republican lawmakers are looking to help with new legislation that seeks to re-define mental illness under state law. The bill seeks to amend Sections 245.462 and 245I.02 of the Minnesota Statutes to include Trump Derangement Syndrome alongside other recognized  mental health conditions.

According to lawmakers, TDS is described as an “acute onset of paranoia” in response to the mention of President Trump or his policies. Symptoms include intense verbal hostility to Trump, acts of aggression or violence towards the president or his supporters, and an inability to go on with one’s day-to-day life due to the presence of Trump or his supporters. This includes places of work, public settings and more.

The bill also expands the definition of mental illness for case management and community support services, incorporating TDS within the framework of mental health intervention.

The bill is unlikely to pass, the Minnesota House is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, while Democrats control the Senate and the governor’s mansion.

Even so, the Trump War Room account reacted positively to the news and suggested it could help Minnesotans with TDS symptoms exhibited by their Governor, Tim Walz. “Here’s an image of Tim Walz exhibiting a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as ‘TDS eyes,’” the account posted alongside an image of a wide-eyed Walz.

President Trump provided his own take on the epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome while speaking with Moms For Liberty founder Tiffany Justice last year. “I do say this, though. It is nastier to run as a Republican. It is. Now, I’m the ultimate, you know, I mean, they suffer from a thing called TDS. Do you know what that is? TDS is a horrible, horrible terminal disease,” Trump said. 

“It destroys the mind. It destroys the mind before the body, but the body eventually goes. TDS is Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
