Summary

Five Republican Minnesota state senators plan to introduce a bill classifying “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a mental illness, defining it as “acute paranoia” about Trump’s presidency.

The bill argues TDS causes hysteria, verbal hostility, and aggression toward Trump supporters.

Critics argue this represents a dangerous politicization of mental health diagnoses that could suppress political expression.

The bill will be read Monday before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee, where Democrats hold a narrow majority.

      Back in 16~17 a guy I was working with was accusing people of suffering from tds. One day he said it to me , I laughed and said " you don’t know where that term comes from do you?"

      He looked at me confused and curious “no, where did it come from?”

      I said "man that’s some shit Hilary Clinton came up with to describe trump supporters , your so fucking stupid your using it all wrong 🤣!

      I never heard him say anything about tds around me again.

          I have no idea where it came from, sounds like something rush Limbaugh would have said actually. I was just getting tired of hearing dude say it to people
