Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. raised some eyebrows last week by telling podcaster Adam Corolla that not only is Trump Derangement Syndrome a real thing, but that he has considered officially giving it an ICD (International Classification of Diseases) code.
While the secretary's remark may have been somewhat in jest (he was responding to a joke about a hypothetical TDS vaccine), he has been clear that the phenomenon that has torn apart so many Americans is indeed happening, including in his own family.
And it isn’t just Kennedy sounding the alarm. Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert argues that Trump Derangement Syndrome is not only genuine, but that it infects 75% of his liberal Manhattanite patients.
"This is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far to call it the defining pathology of our time," Alpert told Fox News Digital last year.
THERAPIST SAYS HE RECEIVED THREATS AFTER CALLING ‘TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME' REAL 'PATHOLOGY'
"It doesn't take long for me to pick up on this: people are obsessed with Trump, they’re fixated, they’re hyper-fixated on Trump," he continued. "And they talk about some of the features of this disorder — they can’t sleep, they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump, they feel restless."
Kennedy and Alpert are completely correct that TDS is a genuine phenomenon, but they are wrong to think of it as a mental disorder that operates primarily on the individual level. What we are witnessing is actually classic mass hysteria.
This is an important distinction, because one cannot simply treat an individual for TDS, as Corolla joked, with a vaccine or even therapy. No, the entire system that is encouraging the social contagion has to be addressed, not unlike the trans issue.
LIZ PEEK: THE TRANS FEVER IS OVER — AND AMERICA IS RECKONING WITH THE DAMAGE DONE
In the case of both TDS and trans identity, outside elements are not just influencing the behavior, they are constantly reinforcing it; it doesn’t primarily exist inside the individual, but rather everywhere outside the individual.
There are four basic hallmarks of people affected by mass hysteria. See if any of these seem familiar to you:
Belief in something specific that has triggered their symptoms
No underlying conditions that could prompt the symptoms
They would not behave this way normally
Extreme fear of an exaggerated or a non-existent threat
HOW TRUMP PANIC BROKE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND FUELED ENDLESS CRISIS POLITICS
It is perfectly obvious that irrational fear of Donald Trump and his presidency has been fueled by a hysterical media, not just in the news game. On late night TV, The View and even many sports programs, the external message to those suffering from TDS is that Trump is everywhere and in everything.
Trump has been turned into a bogeyman, a term which in fact comes from stories that were told to scare British children of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the original ‘boneyman."
But this time, centuries later, it is not kids who are terrified, but grown adults. They view the threat of Trump as so existential, so primal, that it forces them to cut ties with loved ones who are aligned with the supposed threat of Trump.
THE TOP FIVE ABSURD TIPS FROM LIBERAL PUNDITS FOR SURVIVING HOLIDAYS WITH TRUMP-VOTING FAMILY
All of this is then further normalized by think pieces, advice columns and Tik Tok videos urging people to cut ties with their MAGA relations. It is often presented as a moral duty
f we are going to tackle TDS, and we should, it will not be with injections or sessions lying on couches, but rather by addressing the media that has been inventing and feeding the hysteria for over a decade now.
Mass hysteria has a long history, from the dancing sickness of the 16th century to the Salem Witch Trials. But never have the conditions been better for mass hysteria to spread far and wide, fed to us by the social media algorithm.
Sadly, we seem a long way from fixing the mass media root problems of Trump Derangement Syndrome, with its constant claims that Trump is bringing back Jim Crow and the Confederacy, or that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are his own personal gestapo.
So long as the media and the Democrats continue to treat every single thing that Trump does as the end of democracy, Trump Derangement Syndrome will be with us, and more relationships will be sundered.
Thus far, in history, all known cases of mass hysteria eventually ran their course and ended, and eventually TDS will, as well. But that will happen a lot faster if the media and those in power on the left can diagnose and cure their own hysteria first.

Floyd Mayweather Jr said that nobody ever accused Trump of being a racist until Trump decided to run for President.

Trump won´t connect directly with Tommy Robinson in the UK ( which i understand )
But Tommy has support from the US. ;)

Good post, Coach.

It's real.

It's real.
It is. It should have a different name though in order to gain any type of mainstream traction in the DSM or whatever books decide this shit. It’s a byproduct of hating the man so much from the hard left that they scream about it and lash out like a teenager. I believe a lot of this crap we have going on, is direct push back towards him and his policies. Dude doesn’t do himself any favors though by being so abrasive.

I think it' actually less about him and more about folks trying to feel a sense of community they are lacking, so they latch on to it. They are filling voids by concentrating their hate on one person.
Social media, bots, foreign adversaries and our own national media feed it, to manipulate willful idiots to cause division.
Of couse, he gives them the fuel they need, but even when he doesn't, they manfuacture it.

I support Trump on his crypto stance.
But his constant 'tariff' announcements and then the war on Iran are not helping the markets.

Not helping the markets? It certainly isn’t hurting them. One of the main indicators are the markets and all are at record highs.

There's also another kind of TDS, Tucker Derangement Syndrome. Examples of those afflicted with the disease include president Trump, Laura Loomer, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and The Coach. No known cure at this time.

The markets I'm referring to.

I don’t generally have it because (while progressive on “rich getting richer”, health care, and the planet), I am half way between Democrat and Republican on immigration, “woke” stuff, and foreign policy. But I suffered from TDS yesterday and was screaming inside my household and at TV and Internet over the “slush fund for punks” which hopefully the Republican Senators will put a stop to.

That's not really TDS.
TDS is when you spend so much time focusing on someone you hate, to the point where you cannot even concede hard facts.
Watch most of the no kings protestors when they get asked questions.

My sister has TDS and it affects my niece in a negative way (imo). I am not sure that I would say she has her facts wrong, it’s a compelling emotional thing. Does the definition require “having your facts wrong”?

I think that's just one of the symptoms.
Most around irrational behavior - dumping friends, etc....

She definitely dumps people based on political views, I would lose my best friend (very conservative) if I did that.

Normal people don't do this.
It's mostly deranged leftist behavior.

Maybe mainly on Left but I have conservatives in my circle who limit people they’ll date to only like minded. But I agree Left takes the “judgmental award” prize.

I see. Sorry

These are the people talking about TDS.

The real TDS is on the right as evidenced by this board. Any sort of meaningful TDS on the left especially these days is really marginal.

Trump sucks, they all do. The amount of grown old ass men that look up to him and want to suck his shriveled old cock is mental illnesses in itself
