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.

    They haven’t seen deranged yet. And thats a lot knowing their own actions. Wait until their wrecking ball of an economic plan makes food impossible to buy. Then you’ll see deranged.

        Democrats’ messaging about January 6th is insane.

        It is not morally wrong to do a Jan 6.

        It is morally wrong to to do a Jan 6 for the reasons it was done.

        Way to go- you’ve communicated to your base in advance that their only hope is to do something that’s absolutely reprehensible.
