    I love how far I had to read before it was clear that it’s not what Trump has; it’s what people who disagree with him apparently have.

    Diseases are often named after their victims…

    Also, and this is buried in everything he is doing, but how arrogant do you have to be to assume that every person disagrees with him just because he’s Donald Trump, and not because there are valid concerns?

    Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like “fake news” and “groomer” and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it’s the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

    This is amazing to watch! To see all the liberals trying to figure out what TDS means to themselves. It’s a blessing to see so many being illuminated.

    They’re starting to become aware of themselves!

      Trump Derangement Syndrome sounds like it’s named after an ailment Trump suffers from, just like how Lou Gehrig’s Disease is named after the disease that Lou Gehrig had.

      Hey, turns out one of the Republican senators that helped draft this bill is a pedophile.

      Hopefully you figure out what TDS means and who the people you associate with really are.

        Obviously I already know about TDS since I said that. So, what did it mean for you? Did you learn anything about yourself?

        How does the pedophile thing relate?

      What do we call the child molesters wasting our tax money drafting bills like this? Oh right, maga supporters.

    The smug childishness of a grade school bully who got you in trouble after you lost your shit and finally punched back. These assclowns are infuriating.

      “you didn’t see graphite on the roof because it isn’t there. This man is ill take him to the infirmary”

      Classic USSR/GOP tactic.

    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.

    When I first heard of TDS I thought it was about his deranged stans and I thought that made sense.

    Then I was told it was about all the people who lost their minds because of his election and defined themselves purely oppositionally to him, and I thought that made sense.

    Then I observed that it’s really just used as a slur against anyone who doesn’t like him or his policies, and that makes sense too because that’s the ultimate death of every social critique that ends up promulgated by conservatives.

    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
