There's nothing funny about mental illness.
It is estimated more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness, 59.3 million in 2022 or 23.1% of the U.S. adult population, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Five Republicans in the Minnesota Senate want to add "Trump derangement syndrome" to the state's definition of mental illness. What is Trump derangement syndrome?
"Trump derangement syndrome is a derogatory term used to describe a form of toxic criticism and negative reaction to former President Trump’s statements and political actions," according to Alex Pattakos for Psychology Today in 2024.
"Signs of TDS can be observed along a continuum of reactions, ranging from verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Trump to overt acts of aggression and even violence against anyone supporting or anything symbolizing him." Where did the phrase Trump derangement syndrome come from?
The phrase Trump derangement syndrome was coined by the late political columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer, a takeoff of his earlier usage of "Bush derangement syndrome" in 2003.

Lol.
WILL WALZ be their first victim???
Charles Krauthammer - very high IQ. Not many on our side like him these days.
TDS should have been classified as a mental health problem long ago.
Actually that 1 in 5 ratio is completely bogus. No one can survive a psych eval unscathed. However the biggest indicator of mental illness is whether or not your medical insurance will cover treatment. People are also miraculously cured when their insurance runs out. Weird, huh?
If anyone knows mental illness, it would be those deranged nutjobs who voted for Tampon Tim Walz, Amy “box o rocks” Klobuchar, Tina (who?) Smith, and the rest of the trannys & wierdos in Minnesota government. Don’t forget Antifa Keith Hakeem Ellison as AG.
Minnesota knows mental illness.
You know, them trannies used be officially classified as mentally ill. Then the crazy doctors figured they could make a lot more money if they told people it was normal.
One of the bill’s co-sponsors is presently in jail on state and federal charges.
Official syndrome labels should probably not focus on a particular person. Musk Derangement Syndrome cases really that different than Trump Derangement Syndrome?
It’s narcissistic rage.
