Minnesota Senate Republicans have introduced legislation to officially classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness under state law.
The bill, spearheaded by Republican Senators Eric Lucero, Steve Drazkowski, Walter Hudson, Justin Eichorn, and Glenn Gruenhagen, aims to recognize the widespread hysteria that has gripped leftists across America since Trump first announced his candidacy in 2015.
The proposed bill, SF 2589, introduced in the Minnesota Senate and referred to the Health and Human Services Committee, seeks to amend existing mental health statutes to define “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as:
“‘acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons’ triggered by reactions to Donald J. Trump’s policies and presidency, characterized by symptoms such as intense verbal hostility toward Trump and potential acts of aggression against Trump supporters.
The proposed definition suggests that TDS manifests as an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and what the bill characterizes as “psychic pathology” in Trump’s behavior.
Specifically, the bill would insert language about TDS into existing legal definitions of mental illness in sections related to mental health services and diagnostics, effectively treating it as a clinically recognizable condition.
While the bill appears to be satirical or politically motivated, it seeks to formally codify this concept into Minnesota’s mental health statutes, potentially allowing for clinical recognition or treatment of what the bill describes as a syndrome related to emotional responses to political leadership.”
With radical far-left activists harassing Trump supporters in public, attacking campaign offices, and even weaponizing law enforcement against the president and his supporters, Republicans argue it’s time to acknowledge this phenomenon as a genuine mental disorder.
Whether or not S.F. No. 2589 makes it into law, one thing is clear: Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real, and millions of leftists are suffering from its effects. The question is—can they be saved?
