Scott Adams: 'How Long Before We See Trump Derangement Syndrome Used as a Legal Defense?'
Newsbusters ^ | February 16, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Your honor, we acknowledge that our client, Jussie Smollett, faked his supposed hate crime but he just couldn't help it because he suffered from extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome.

We respectively request that the civil suit against Nathan Phillips for lying about the Covington Catholic High School students be dropped due to the fact that he was acting under the influence of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams brought up an interesting thesis in a Tweet on Friday about whether Trump Derangement Syndrome could be used as a legal defense in the future for people who acted criminally or immorally.

Pleading his case to a jury in Chicago? Are you sure you want to make that bet?

It is already working. Wearing a Make America Great Again hat is considered to be provoking lefties around here. Having a MAGA bumper sticker is considered a valid excuse for damaging someone’s vehicle.

Funny how conservatives never suffered from Obama Derangement Syndrome and let him interfere with their lives.

Wishful thinking.

Rep. Maxine Waters is “patient zero” for the dual-diagnosis of Trump Derangement Syndrome and Hopium Withdrawal.

General Dan Sickles was the first person to successfully use the "temporary insanity" defense during his trial for shooting and killing his wife's lover, Barton Scott Key II, son of Francis Scott Key.

There's been the Twinkie defense, so why not a TDS Defense. Nothing would surprise me.

It's funny. I enjoyed a great amount of success in my life during the Obama years. He had nothing to do with it, of course. He also didn't prevent it.

I didn't vote for Obama in 2008 and I didn't vote for him in 2012 but I wasn't going to let him stop me from enjoying my life. That's the difference between us and them. The person who occupies the White House is not in charge of my personal well-being while to liberals, there is nothing more important.

It may be a valid claim. Hopefully though it will earn them a long stay in a nice padded room they can call home for decades.

Liberalism is the mental disease, PTDS is one of the symptoms.

The folks with TDS are mentally ill and should be in mental hospitals and barred from voting until they are cured.

The democRATS have been declaring a "national emergency" because of their Trump Derangement Syndrome since the 2016 election win by Trump.

Talk about inventing a "national crisis" by merely losing a presidential election.

democRATS think that Trump needs to be removed from office just because they don't like him or his politics.

Normal adults would be disappointed that their candidate didn't win and move on.

No wonder sane people think democRATS are mentally disturbed. They can't take losing without trying to destroy the winners.
