Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term adopted by the hard-liner Trump supporters to discount any criticism of Donald Trump. Perish the thought that some criticisms have merit. Trump supporters unable to present a sound counter argument to criticism, lazily dismiss it as TDS.

Many Donald Trump supporters believe that their political and cultural opponents suffer from a condition called Trump Derangement Syndrome. This supposed psychosis allegedly renders many Trump critics incapable of rational thoughts and prudent judgments. It is ostensibly so distorting that sufferers take downright dangerous positions.Link

In July 2018, Eric Zorn wrote in the Chicago Tribune that the syndrome afflicts Trump's supporters more than his critics, as "what Team Trump is calling derangement is, in most cases, rational concern about his behavior and the direction he's taking the country....   The true Trump Derangement Syndrome loose on the land is the delusion suffered by those who still think he's going to make this country a better place for average people."

Bush derangement syndrome was coined in 2003. There was Obama Derangement syndrome characterized by an irrational hatred. So, yes there is for some an irrational hatred for all things Trump. However, not all dislikes of Trump's behavior is irrational,

Anytime a person dismisses concerns about Trump by saying "TDS," I know one of three things is probably true about that person:

  • They're not paying attention,
  • They're too blind to see the problem, or
  • They're so gullible they've bought into Trump's lies.

In time, after Trump lets them all down for the final time, they might see how badly they've misinterpreted the events of the past 9 years.

Well if you consistently post topics about Trump at all hours of the day then you probably suffer from TDS, especially posts at 3 am. Most people are asleep at 3 am and dreaming about beautiful women, I know I am. You also might suffer from TDS if you say 'Trump is a Nazi and wants to kill your dog'.

Are we having fun yet?

Because he's a presidential candidate and thus a topic of conversation.

I notice you don't call out those who constantly post topics, Youtube/IG/TikTok videos about Biden and now Harris at all hours of the day and night, gee, I wonder why that might be?

You, yourself, as you say, seem to post all hours of the night.

I'm not sure what is up with the obsession about what time people visit the site and make posts. People vary in their recreational/sleep habits. The site is open 24/7.

Yup, as stated that sounds like the expression of an irrational hate. TDS. So, I agree with you on that one.
