This does show that Trump is not good for peoples' mental health though. : )

You’re wrong. The Trump half are stable human beings. Actually way more than half. They don’t want to riot or do stupid things and get themselves killed.

Yeah, that was another hoax. Get fitted for your jacket.

^^lol sir..

so what, a false flag operation? do you have the merest scintilla of evidence for that claim?

back on topic. "tds" is used to dismiss legitimate concerns about Trump's danger to the U.S. Instead of countering the argument with reasoned arguments, Magas just sidestep the issues by calling it "TDS."

it's quite amazing that a president of the U.S. could elicit actual psychological symptoms in some citizens. whether you agreed with him or not, there was never going to be a Reagan Derangement Syndrome.

fake news is Trump's shorthand for inconvenient facts, not a counterpoint worth anything.

According the US Department of Justice, "Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, and Kelly Meggs, the leader of the Florida chapter of the organization, were sentenced today for seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."

“More people were convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the siege of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, than any other criminal event since the statute was enacted during the Civil War. Today’s sentencing affirms the rule of law and imposes substantial consequences on Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs who, together, conspired to violently attack our government and our democracy.”

That's from the official US Department of Justice website.

Are you sure it's not about Bambino? This isn't some kind of government perk for you? This is what I get when I ask ChatGPT for a definition of TDS,

Trump Derangement Syndrome -

1. A form of political fixation in which allegiance to Trump distorts judgment and replaces critical evaluation with reflexive defense.
2. A cognitive bias in which exposure to Trump’s rhetoric produces systematic errors in reasoning, including confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and resistance to falsification.

Now ChatGPT is known to have a left-of-center bias, so I'm not sure people with TDS will agree with that.

Anyway, we've got a $2 trillion deficit. People with TDS are high-functioning and they pay taxes. We shouldn't have to pay for their room and board. We shouldn't have to pay for your room and board.

Just kidding Bambino. Good to see you posting here, honestly.

^^^*THAT*^^^ is a clear example of TDS.

[biomed1]

Of the Following . . .

#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.
#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.
#15 - Posting about/Speculating about another person's medical condition is strictly forbidden. If a member encounters a medical issue and would like to get feedback from others or share it with the community, this would be allowed, but under no circumstances is a member to discuss or state anything about another member in this regard, unless it is in response to a question posed by that member.

I get what you are saying. What you're missing is that the reaction is usually way out of proportion to the trigger.

This over-reaction just encourages Trump to keep trolling and triggering. He points to the traumatized as they throw another irrational hissy fit and says - "See? They're the crazy ones, not me!"

And the left falls for it. Every. Single. Time.

Getting back to the topic of a mental institution being helpful for someone inflicted with TDS, professionals will not define TDS as a mental disorder, so no there's no need for someone who disagrees with Trump's policies or personal behavior to be placed into an asylum.

From the quoted WSJ op-ed piece:

The term “Trump derangement syndrome” emerged as a tongue-in-cheek partisan label. The joke obscured the psychological reality in which a political figure becomes a symbolic stand-in for threat and loss of control.

I don't agree with that statement.

TDS is no joke. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pejorative used by Trump and his supporters to broadly define anyone who disagrees with him. Folks will say that it often characterizes irrational, negative reactions to Trump, but it is not a clinical diagnosis and he throws it around as often as he does "Fake News", which would seem to dilute its overall impact. Just as he borrowed "Make America Great Again" from Ronald Reagan, he got TDS from Esther Goldberg who used the term in 2015 to describe "Ruling Class Republicans" who were dismissive of Trump. She derived the term from Charles Krauthammer who used "Bush Derangement Syndrome" in 2003 to describe "paranoia" in reaction to George W. Bush. (Thanks Google Gemini)

An opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal really doesn't count as science, especially considering the source. While Jonathan Alpert argues that Trump Derangement is a real psychological phenomenon, he also says that 75% of his patients are "hyper-fixated" on Donald Trump and he is apparently interviewed frequently by Fox News. He also writes opinion pieces in the New York Post, another right-wing news source.

I'd argue that TDS is just a red herring.

I guess I'd have to see an example of an irrational hissy fit. I just see him using the term to deflect. If the New York Times writes something he doesn't like, it's TDS. If his ex-chief of staff, John Kelly says something bad about him, it's TDS. I think he used the term to describe multiple folks from his first term. His second term seems to be defined by folks picked for loyalty to him over anything else, so no TDS from them, so far.

In my opinion, he uses TDS like he uses Fake News. Have you seen how he treats reporters, especially female reporters? If they ask a question he doesn't like, he consistently asks them who they're with and instead of answering the question, he'll just reply with something like, "ABC News? You're Fake News. Next."

Thank you President Trump!!!!!!

Make America Great Again!!!!!!!

BAHAHAHA

One of 225 Executive Orders Trump signed in 2025....
https://www.federalregister.gov/pres...ald-trump/2025

Many of which the order itself will be the only 'action' taken.

Does this EO provide for any actual funding or any thing other than 'appropriate actions'?

Has there been any substantive results since the EO was issued in July 2025?
What have the The Attorney General, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and/or the Secretary of Transportation done to implement or make any element of the EO a reality?

When will the first of these 'asylums' begin construction and/or operation?
