Republicans launch bid to make 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' an official mental illness

Republican lawmakers have launched a bid to have 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' considered a real mental illness.

The group of GOP senators in Minnesota filed a bill that would classify the term as an official disorder.

Their proposal details how Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) manifests as 'verbal expressions of intense hostility' toward Donald Trump and 'overt acts of aggression and violence' against any person or thing that expresses support for the president.

It claims symptoms include 'Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald Trump's behavior.'

For years, pro-Trump pundits and allies have paraded the term around as an insult towards critics who oppose the MAGA agenda and its leader.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X last month that 'Trump Derangement Syndrome is causing Democrats & the media to oppose President Trump's commonsense efforts to cut billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse from our federal government.'

'They can't stand that we finally have a President who actually delivers on his promises,' she added when defending Trump's initiatives to cut billions in government spending and thousands of federal jobs.

Isolation for the safety for the public would be the best bet.

Looks at what’s on the streets now

$hits and giggles. Doesn’t buy us anything as it will not pass-waste of time.

There is one benefit however. It keeps the nuts closer to the deep end and hopefully increases hard-left support the majority won’t agree with. Pushes buttons. It can only help.

Think: “We begin bombing in 5 minutes”.
Puts the Arnold’s in their place too.

but what is the cure?

Let's start with electroshock therapy and go from there.

....

How many have been healed of their TDS?
Maybe no cure until one no longer shares the same planet with Trump.
There’s Mars.
But, by golly, Elon’s dream is Mars.

EDS appears to be as much of a mental illness as TDS.

Is there nowhere in the Universe they can go to flee their tormentors?

It will not pass

Some times you have to do things yourself to get something done.
Think of it as a weekend hunting expedition.

“According to Bloomington police, detectives communicated with the man, identified as 40-year-old Justin Eichorn of Grand Rapids, who thought he was talking with a 16-year-old girl. Eichorn was most recently one of the authors of a bill by Minnesota Senate Republicans to define “Trump derangement syndrome” as a mental illness.”

set up?

It certainly looks like a setup. The “teen” was actually a cop.
