They know what causes that now.
Psychiatrists are laying out the symptoms of what’s come to be called “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a phrase used to describe extreme opposition to the policies and personality of President Donald Trump.
Dr. Carole Lieberman, a conservative voice known as “America’s psychiatrist,” said, “Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t just a joke—it’s a legitimate psychological phenomenon. The symptoms mirror mass psychosis, where people lose all rational thinking when it comes to Trump.”
You may be experiencing TDS if you can’t calm down after hearing a Trump speech or comment, or if you lash out verbally or physically at a Trump supporter, she said.
Or blood pressure may tick up when you hear “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People, a song used at Trump rallies. Or you may become tense when you find yourself agreeing with a Trump policy or statement.
Lieberman said: “TDS causes otherwise logical individuals to become obsessive, paranoid, and even violent at the mere mention of Trump’s name—this level of emotional instability has real-world consequences.”
