As a therapist, I won’t recognize it. Fuck that.

So trumps followers have Trump derangement syndrome. Makes sense.

5+ years back Trumpettes threw around the label TDS at Trump detractors, saying they couldn't see reality due to their rage...

Whatever you call it, however you see it, there is significant mass psychosis associated with our nutcase-in-chief.

Yes, Trump's derangement can be classified as a completely new form of mental illness

Last month, Elon Musk revived the term and told Fox News host Sean Hannity he used to be “adored by the left” until they were infected with TDS.

From what I remember, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with you calling the experts who successfully rescued a bunch of children trapped in a cave, “pedo guy” along with all your other aggressive tactics to silence critics. Followed by the Twitter purchase.

Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.

Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn't buy them respect.

Thanks for reminding me that Mackenzie Scott did far more for the world with her half of his money than he can ever hope to achieve in 100 lifetimes.

Go look up how much this woman has donated to charity over the years. It's astronomical, compared to Jeff lol

If hating the guy who's threatening to take over my country is an illness, then bring it on, I've got it bad.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

These are the same morons that have Biden Derangement Syndrome.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

He is not deranged he is just a piece of shit Nazi like his father.

...I'm confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?

[–] T156@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Not him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.

It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

[–] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

This is their attempt to get around that pesky 1st amendment. Make criticism of the king a "mental disorder", and then you can lock them up involuntarily "for their own protection".

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

Trump wants his opponents tortured in prison "hospitals," just like what's done to Putin's opponents.

The best thing about someone using the term Trump derangement syndrome unironically is that I know I can just ignore them and nothing of value will be lost.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Shouldn't it be "Trump's Derangement Syndrome"?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

Phhhs you people are getting so worked up over adolf hitler. Stop worrying guys! he'll by gone by 1937
